In an effort to provide additional information on a new provider type recently announced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a Medicare Learning Network (MLN) fact sheet was released. This new provider type, Rural Emergency Hospitals (REH), is a new Medicare Part A provider type. Starting January 1, 2023, Medicare will pay for Medicare-enrolled REHs to deliver emergency hospital, observation, and other services to Medicare patients on an outpatient basis. Additional information, including how to become an REH, billing, payment, reporting quality data, etc. is available in the fact sheet.

The Administration for Community Living (ACL) recently released the following Save the Date notice:

Please join the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in observance of Brain Injury Awareness Month. ACL will be hosting a virtual Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Partners Day on February 28, 2023, from 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm.

Each year, under what was previously called TBI Stakeholder Day, ACL convenes interested parties to discuss important issues around TBI services, supports, and systems and to learn from other partners, brain injury survivors, family members, support networks, and state and federal representatives.

This year, we will have sessions on aging, employment, the intersectionality of TBI and other medical and social issues, and peer support.

While we are still working on finalizing the agenda for the 2023 ACL TBI Partners Day, our plans are to include state and federal representatives as well as brain injury survivors and family members in the sessions. Session participants will be given the opportunity to ask questions during each session. There will be no cost to register for the event.

We will provide more details about the 2023 TBI Partners Day in the coming weeks. If you have any questions about this event, please do not hesitate to contact us via email. For now, please save the date!
