| 07-2206 | Medicare Program; Prospective Payment System for Long-Term Care Hospitals RY 2008: Annual Payment Rate Updates, and Policy Changes; and Hospital Direct and Indirect Graduate Medical Education Policy Changes | Rule | This final rule updates the annual payment rates for the Medicare prospective payment system (PPS) for inpatient hospital services provided by long-term care hospitals (LTCHs). The final payment amounts and factors used to determine the updated Federal rates that are described in this final rule were determined based on the LTCH PPS rate year July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008. The annual update of the long-term care diagnosis-related group (LTC-DRG) classifications and relative weights remains linked to the annual adjustments of the acute care hospital inpatient diagnosis-related group system, and continue to be effective each October 1. The final outlier threshold for July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008, is derived from the LTCH PPS rate year calculations. We are also finalizing policy changes which include revisions to the GME and IME policies. In addition, we are adding a technical amendment correcting the regulations text at Sec. 412.22. | 2007-05-11 | 2007 | 5 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/05/11/07-2206/medicare-program-prospective-payment-system-for-long-term-care-hospitals-ry-2008-annual-payment-rate | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-05-11/pdf/07-2206.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | 221,45 | This final rule updates the annual payment rates for the Medicare prospective payment system (PPS) for inpatient hospital services provided by long-term care hospitals (LTCHs).
