TKR Removed from Inpatient Only List<br />
• OPPS 2018 Final Rule -- Removed total knee replacement from<br />
the inpatient-only list<br />
• Gives patients greater choice to decide which site of service Doc<br />
remains in control of where performed.<br />
• TKR is one of the most common and costly procedures.<br />
• Removal from the list does not disqualify TKR for a SNF stay; if<br />
performed as an outpatient procedure, patient not eligible for a<br />
SNF stay.<br />
• Purpose - option to seek care in a lower cost setting of care,<br />
outpatient setting rather than a more expensive inpatient setting.<br />
