Gov. Christie highlighted the department's recent work, including the creation of a new hospital outpatient surgical facility fee schedule separate from the ASC facility fee; amendments of the ASC facility fee to eliminate over-reimbursement for implantable devices; deletion of fees from the physician's fee schedule for some spinal and neurological procedures; and other issues.
