The corrected Medicare payment rate for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, starting Jan. 1, is now listed at $132.21, as opposed to the $73.64 indicated in the final rule, according to the post. 

AHA said it brought the technical error to CMS’ attention earlier in December, which resulted in the correction.
