| 2017-08519 | Medicare Program; Prospective Payment System and Consolidated Billing for Skilled Nursing Facilities: Revisions to Case-Mix Methodology | Proposed Rule | We are issuing this advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to solicit public comments on potential options we may consider for revising certain aspects of the existing skilled nursing facility (SNF) prospective payment system (PPS) payment methodology to improve its accuracy, based on the results of our SNF Payment Models Research (SNF PMR) project. In particular, we are seeking comments on the possibility of replacing the SNF PPS' existing case-mix classification model, the Resource Utilization Groups, Version 4 (RUG-IV), with a new model, the Resident Classification System, Version I (RCS-I). We also discuss options for how such a change could be implemented, as well as a number of other policy changes we may consider to complement implementation of RCS-I. | 2017-05-04 | 2017 | 5 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/05/04/2017-08519/medicare-program-prospective-payment-system-and-consolidated-billing-for-skilled-nursing-facilities | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-05-04/pdf/2017-08519.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | 221,45 | We are issuing this advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to solicit public comments on potential options we may consider for revising certain aspects of the existing skilled nursing facility (SNF) prospective payment system (PPS) payment... |
