CHA DataSuite has provided member hospitals and health systems with a hospital-specific analysis showing how Medicare inpatient fee-for-service payments will change from federal fiscal year (FFY) 2017 to FFY 2018 based on the policies in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) FFY 2018 inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS) final rule. The analysis compares the year-over-year changes in operating, capital and uncompensated care IPPS payments. It also includes breakout sections with detailed insight into specific policies that influence IPPS payment changes, including:
Potential penalties under the Inpatient Quality Reporting and Electronic Health Record Incentive programs
Expiration of the Medicare Dependent Hospital and expanded Low-Volume Hospital Adjustment programs
Quality-based payment adjustments
Disproportionate share hospital (DSH) uncompensated care (UCC) payments
CMS’ transition to the Medicare Cost Report Worksheet S-10 for UCC payments for FFY 2018
