CMS Proposed Rule Updating Rates for the Inpatient Psychiatric Facilities Prospective Payment System
January 2011
Proposed rule from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services published in the Federal Register January 27, 2011 that updates "the prospective payment rates for Medicare inpatient hospital services provided by inpatient psychiatric facilities (IPFs) for discharges occurring during the rate year beginning July 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012. The proposed rule would also change the IPF prospective payment system (PPS) payment rate update period to a rate year (RY) that coincides with a fiscal year (FY). In addition, the rule proposes policy changes affecting the IPF PPS teaching adjustment. It would also rebase and revise the Rehabilitation, Psychiatric, and Long-Term Care (RPL) market basket, and make some clarifications and corrections to terminology and regulations text."
