As required annually by law, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued its federal fiscal year (FFY) 2026 inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS) proposed rule.
CMS proposes to increase payment rates for most hospitals paid under the IPPS by 2.4% in FFY 2026. The net impact of the proposed rule will increase payments nationally by an estimated $4 billion compared to FFY 2025.
Comments on the proposed rule are due to CMS by June 10. Join CHA’s Megan Howard and Michelle Millerick as they provide a summary of the proposed rule implications on your organization and how you can share your concerns on the impending changes.
Key highlights of the proposed rule discussed during this webinar include:
- Market Basket Update
- Medicare DSH
- Wage Index Policy
- Changes to the Transforming Episode Accountability Model
- Changes to Quality Reporting and Performance-based Quality Programs
- Modifications to the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program
