Medicare adjusts rules for its organ transplant program
What happened
Medicare is making small changes to its program for increasing organ transplants. These adjustments apply to the program's second year and affect how transplant centers are paid.
Why it matters
This document is an update to an existing Medicare program. It does not introduce new rules or change how the program fundamentally works. It is part of the routine administration of a payment model already in place.
The signal
Watch for the final rule to see if the specific changes affect how many transplant centers choose to participate in the program.
