Nemours Children's HealthOpposeBusiness
Summary: Nemours Children's Health opposes the proposed rule, arguing that the mandated payment reductions for State Directed Payments (SDPs) and Fee-for-Service (FFS) programs will jeopardize children's access to care and threaten the financial viability of children's hospitals. The organization requests that CMS exempt pediatric services from these changes or provide significant flexibility and adjustments to mitigate the adverse financial impacts.
On behalf of Nemours Children's Health, thank you for the opportunity to comment on this proposed rule. Please see attached for our formal comments.
