英文摘要 | The California Department of Industrial Relations asked RAND to examine the feasibility and appropriateness of including procedures that are typically performed only in an inpatient setting on the workers' compensation Official Medical Fee Schedule for ambulatory surgical center facility fees. The authors used interviews, literature review, and data analysis to assemble information on the requirements applicable to ASCs, assess how the criteria that Medicare uses to assess whether procedures can be safely performed in an outpatient setting apply to the workers' compensation patient population, and to examine alternative methods for establishing fee schedule amounts. The study focused on 23 high-volume workers' compensation inpatient procedures with relatively short average lengths of stay. The report finds that most ASCs that are currently eligible for facility fees are equipped to provide services that do not require a one-night stay. However, the data analyses and literature review did not provide strong support for adding any procedures to the fee schedule with the possible exception of procedures related to cervical spinal fusions. Other than instrumentation used in conjunction with spinal fusions, relatively few of the study procedures are being performed in an ambulatory setting on either WC or privately insured patients ages 18–64. The literature suggests that two-level anterior cervical fusions and the use of instrumentation for one- or two-level fusions can be performed safely on an outpatient basis but does not include evidenced-based selection criteria to suggest which patients are appropriate candidates for having the procedures in an outpatient setting. |
