The American Hospital Association (AHA) will host a members-only webinar April 10 at 12:00 p.m. to review new formatting for machine-readable files required under the CMS outpatient rule. A summary of the changes is here. Changes to formatting and content are effective July 1, 2024. Advance registration for the webinar is required here.
At the webinar, Terri Postma, medical officer and senior advisor at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, will review the new machine-readable format requirements, demonstrate how to navigate the GitHub repository to find the standard formats and implementation guidance, and present real-world examples of how to encode data for different contracting practices in the standard formats. Webinar participants can submit advance questions for the webinar’s Q&A segment to Ariel Levin at the AHA at alevin@aha.org.
