Site-Neutral Payment
Site-neutral payments mean paying the same for services provided in a hospital setting as for those in a physician office or ambulatory surgery center

Hospitals and their associated facilities provide access to critical services that are not otherwise always available in the community and they treat patients with very severe conditions. Payment proposals that attempt to treat hospital outpatient departments the same as independent physician offices and other ambulatory sites of care ignore the very different level of care provided by hospitals and the needs of the patients and communities cared for in that setting.
