Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) are asking their Senate colleagues to sign on to a letter urging the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to withdraw proposals to expand certain site-neutral payment policies to grandfathered off-campus hospital provider-based departments (PBDs).
