Several medical associations are urging CMS to resume independent dispute resolution payment determinations.
These determinations were paused by CMS on Feb. 6, according to a March 6 news release from the American Society of Anesthesiologists. The pause followed a decision from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
The call to resume these IDR payment determinations is being made by the American College of Emergency Physicians, the American College of Radiology and the American Society of Anesthesiologists, according to the release.
