Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) testing period extended through 2021
CMS announced on Aug. 10, 2020 that the Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) educational and operations testing period will be extended through 2021. As a result, there are no payment consequences associated with the AUC program and instead CMS encourages providers to use 2021 to learn, test, and prepare.
