Site of Service Update
Beginning January 1, 2024, Empire became Anthem. This article, published under the former brand, now applies to Anthem.
Empire amends it’s Site of Service (SOS) reduction values from time to time to align with the annual updated list published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Empire’s SOS Reduction listing shows the percentage amount that we use for reducing physician reimbursement for selected procedures, when performed in a hospital inpatient, outpatient, emergency room or ambulatory surgical care facility
Effective April 1, 2019, we will be updating our SOS values to align with CMS’ Region 2 RBRVS calculations for 2018. To view the SOS Reduction listing for the 2018 values, please visit go to empireblue.com/provider/ Select “Find Resources in New York” >Provider Home > Site of Service (SOS) Reductions and view the percentages listed in the right hand column.
