SOS: Sustaining Outpatient Services Act

Summary

The bill changes Medicare rules so that items and services provided at a provider’s off‑campus outpatient department can be reimbursed under the hospital outpatient payment method, but only if the total Medicare payments to physicians in that specialty were under $2 million the prior year. It affects providers with off‑site outpatient clinics, the Medicare patients they serve, and physician specialties with relatively low Medicare billing. The change aims to broaden payment options for low‑volume services.
