Its out there for the studying. CMS released its newly issued proposed rule to change fiscal year 2017s
Medicare payment policies and rates under the inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS) and the
long-term care hospital (LTCH) prospective payment system (PPS). The proposed rule, which CMS says
would apply to approximately 3,330 acute care hospitals and approximately 430 LTCHs, would affect
discharges occurring on and after October 1, 2016.
CMS will accept comments on the proposed rule until June 16, 2016, when the comment period ends.
The agency will respond to comments and post its IPPS-LTCH PPS final rule by August 1, 2016. You can
download the proposed rule from the Federal Register here. Beware automatically printing the PDF
version: its 1579 pages.
