The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the federal fiscal year (FY) April 18. The proposed rule provides updates for Medicare fee-for-service payment rates and policies for inpatient hospitals and long-term care hospitals for FY 2023.
CMS pays acute care for inpatient stays under the IPPS. The agency sets base payment rates based on the patient’s diagnosis and severity of illness. Subject to certain adjustments, a hospital receives a single payment for the case based on the payment classification assigned at discharge through Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Groups.
This rule comes with a 60-day comment period. The 新澳门六合彩官网® (新澳门六合彩官网®) is developing an in-depth summary of the proposed rule.
