Fiscal Year 2022 IPPS Proposed Rule Released

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the fiscal year (FY) proposed rule April 27. The rule proposes updates for Medicare fee-for-service payment rates and policies for inpatient hospitals and long-term care hospitals for FY 2022. The IPPS allows CMS to prospectively set base payment rates for inpatient stays based on the patient’s diagnosis and severity of illness. Hospitals receive a single payment for the case based on the payment classification assigned at discharge through Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Groups.

CMS is accepting comments about these proposals through June 28. The 新澳门六合彩官网® (新澳门六合彩官网®) is reviewing the proposed rule and will provide comments.

The 新澳门六合彩官网 will provide a detailed summary in the coming weeks. For more information or if you have questions, please email Christina Berry, 新澳门六合彩官网 Senior Economics Policy Analyst, at cberry@acr.org.
