Results: MHE Question of the Week

The results are in for our first-ever MHE Question of the Week

Our readers were 63% in favor and 37% against site-neutral payment rules and policies being extended to commercial payers, payment for physician-administered drugs, and services delivered in on-campus, hospital, and outpatient departments. We posed the question on Tuesday and collected answers through today at 4 p.m.

Site-neutral payment rules have been a hotly debated topic, setting payers and hospitals at odds.

A study done in February 2023 found that expanding the site-neutral payment system would save the government and patients $471 billion over 10 years.

However, the American Hospital Association (AHA) opposes site-neutral payment, arguing that the extra fees are appropriate for the level of care provided in different locations.

Tune in next week for another MHE Question of the Week!
