CMS announces a decline of $15 billion in Medicare Fee-For-Service improper payments. The money that is going to come into the system is going to aid programs like MIPS 2020 and APMs and value-based care in general.
The CMS developed the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) to promote national correct coding methodologies and to control improper coding leading to inappropriate payment in Part B claims.
