| 2020-19637 | Medicare Program; Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment Systems for Acute Care Hospitals and the Long-Term Care Hospital Prospective Payment System and Final Policy Changes and Fiscal Year 2021 Rates; Quality Reporting and Medicare and Medicaid Promoting Interoperability Programs Requirements for Eligible Hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals | Rule | We are revising the Medicare hospital inpatient prospective payment systems (IPPS) for operating and capital-related costs of acute care hospitals to implement changes arising from our continuing experience with these systems for FY 2021 and to implement certain recent legislation. We are also making changes relating to Medicare graduate medical education (GME) for teaching hospitals. In addition, we are providing the market basket update that will apply to the rate- of-increase limits for certain hospitals excluded from the IPPS that are paid on a reasonable cost basis, subject to these limits for FY 2021. We are updating the payment policies and the annual payment rates for the Medicare prospective payment system (PPS) for inpatient hospital services provided by long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) for FY 2021. In this FY 2021 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule, we are finalizing changes to the new technology add-on payment pathway for certain antimicrobial products and other changes to new technology add-on payment policies, and the collection of market-based rate information on the Medicare cost report for cost reporting periods ending on or after January 1, 2021 and finalizing the adoption of a market-based MS- DRG relative weight methodology beginning in FY 2024. We are establishing new requirements or revising existing requirements for quality reporting by acute care hospitals and PPS-exempt cancer hospitals. We also established new requirements and revised existing requirements for eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) participating in the Medicare and Medicaid Promoting Interoperability Programs. We are also establishing performance standards for the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program, and updating policies for the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program and the Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program. | 2020-09-18 | 2020 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/09/18/2020-19637/medicare-program-hospital-inpatient-prospective-payment-systems-for-acute-care-hospitals-and-the | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-09-18/pdf/2020-19637.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | 221,45 | We are revising the Medicare hospital inpatient prospective payment systems (IPPS) for operating and capital-related costs of acute care hospitals to implement changes arising from our continuing experience with these systems for FY 2021 and to... |
