The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has finalized a 2.9% Medicare pay increase for outpatient facilities and ambulatory surgical centers for 2025, alongside new maternal health mandates aimed at improving care standards. The rule introduces the first-ever maternal health and safety standards for hospitals, requiring enhanced staffing and equipment protocols, while also addressing health disparities and expanding access to behavioral health services. However, the American Hospital Association criticized the payment increases as inadequate, warning that they could hinder patient access to care, particularly in rural areas.
Seems like the connection with the server has been lost. It can be due to poor or broken network. Please hang on while we're trying to reconnect...
Oh snap! Failed to reconnect with the server. This is typically caused by a longer network outage, or if the server has been taken down. You can try to reconnect, but if that does not work, you need to reload the page.
Oh man! The server rejected the attempt to reconnect. The only option now is to reload the page, but be prepared that it won't work, since this is typically caused by a failure on the server.
