This final rule changes the way we calculate interest on Medicare overpayments and underpayments to providers, suppliers, health maintenance organizations, competitive medical plans, and health care prepayment plans to be more reflective of current business practices. This change reduces the amount of interest assessed on overpayments and underpayments and simplifies the way the interest is calculated. This change in the way we calculate interest also applies to Medicare Secondary Payer debt.
本最终规则改变了我们计算医疗保险向医疗服务提供者、供应商、健康维护组织、竞争性医疗计划和医疗保健预付款计划多付款项和少付款项利息的方式,使其更能反映当前的商业惯例。这一变化减少了对多付款项和少付款项征收的利息金额,并简化了利息的计算方式。我们计算利息方式的这一变化也适用于医疗保险二次支付债务。
