On July 15, 2022, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the calendar year 2023 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) and Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) Payment System Proposed Rule.

- OPPS and ASC payment rate updates.
- Payment for 340B drugs.
- Changes to the Inpatient-Only List.
- Additional services requiring prior authorization.
- Clinic visits provided in rural sole community hospitals.
- Billing for discarded single-dose/single-use packaged drugs.
