The 298 orthopedic procedures, codes that CMS may return to the inpatient-only list

Orthopedic

Last year, CMS removed 298 musculoskeletal-related services from the inpatient-only list and detailed its plan to phase out all 1,700 procedures from the inpatient-only list by 2024.

But on July 19, under the 2022 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System and ASC Payment System proposed rule, the agency proposed walking back this move and halting the elimination of the inpatient-only list, citing patient safety concerns.

The 298 procedures include 16 related anesthesia codes and 16 codes recommended by the hospital outpatient payment panel.

The proposed rule also would remove 258 of the 266 procedures added to the ASC covered procedures list in January.

Following are the 298 procedures, and their codes, that could be returned to the inpatient-only list next year:
