We are revising the threshold billing amount that triggers annual on-site reviews of medical providers who conduct consultative examinations (CEs) for our disability programs under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (Act). The revision will raise the threshold amount to reflect the increase in billing amounts since we first established the threshold amount in 1991. We expect the revised threshold amount will reestablish the level of oversight activity we required under our original rules.
我们正在修订触发对为我们依据《社会保障法》(该法案)第二篇和第十六篇下的残疾项目进行咨询检查(CE)的医疗服务提供者进行年度现场审查的计费门槛金额。此次修订将提高门槛金额,以反映自我们于1991年首次设定该门槛金额以来计费金额的增加。我们预计修订后的门槛金额将重新确立我们原始规则所要求的监督活动水平。
