Off-campus clinics would need unique IDs and status checks for Medicare.
The Fair Billing Act would set new rules for certain off-campus hospital clinics. These clinics would need their own unique identification numbers. Hospitals would also need to confirm these clinics meet specific rules to keep getting Medicare payments.
Today, off-campus outpatient clinics might not need their own unique identification number or have specific rules to regularly confirm their status to receive Medicare payments. If this bill becomes law, starting January 1, 2026, Medicare would not pay these clinics unless they have a separate unique ID and their provider submits statements confirming they meet specific rules.
