Additionally, the rule contains changes to the ESRD Quality Incentive Program for 2017 and 2018, such as the adoption of a readmission measure and the transition of the patient experience survey measure for in-center hemodialysis patients to pay-for-performance.
CMS will accept comments on the proposed rule through Sept. 2. For more information, read the full proposed rule here.
