Updated end-stage renal disease PC-PRICER software now available
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has updated the PC-PRICER Web page at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/PCPricer/02e_ESRD_Pricer.asp
to include an end-stage renal disease (ESRD) PC-PRICER that uses the same pricing logic as the Medicare claim processing system. This version of the software will replace the current version (referred to as the ESRD calculator) in January 2009. Both pricing tools will continue to be available through the end of this calendar year. CMS is encouraging renal dialysis facilities to download the updated version of the ESRD PC-PRICER and begin familiarizing themselves with it as soon as possible. Feedback on the latest version of this PC-PRICER software should be directed to Wendy.Tucker@cms.hhs.gov.
