The rule increases Medicare payment rates for 136acute care hospitals and removes some price transparency requirements. The rule 137also applies to discharges occurring on or after Oct. 1.</p> 138 139 140 141<p>The summary of key items is as follows: </p> 142 143 144 145<p>1. <strong>Payment rate update.</strong> Hospitals that 146report quality data and are meaningful users of EHRs will see about a 2.5 147percent increase in Medicare rates in fiscal year 2022, compared to 2021. CMS 148expects hospital payments to increase by an aggregate $2.3 billion in fiscal 1492022. CMS said the changes in the final rule will increase payments by $3.7 150billion and include a $1.4 billion decrease from other adjustments.</p> 151 152 153 154<p>2. <strong>Price transparency requirements.</strong>
154CMS 155will move forward with its plan to remove median payer-specific negotiated 156rates by Medicare severity-diagnosis related group, with Medicare Advantage 157insurers. CMS said this will reduce administrative burden on hospitals by about 15864,000 hours. </p> 159 160 161 162<p>3. <strong>Disproportionate share hospital payments.</strong> CMS 163will distribute $7.2 billion in uncompensated care payments for fiscal 2022, a 164decrease of about $1.1 billion from fiscal 2021.</p> 165 166 167 168<p>4. <strong>Add-on payment for COVID-19 treatment.</strong> The 169inpatient payment rule finalizes an add-on payment for COVID-19 treatment 170through the end of the fiscal year in which the public health emergency ends.</p> 171 172 173 174<p>5. <strong>Inpatient Quality Reporting Program.</strong> CMS 175proposed several changes to the Inpatient Quality Reporting Program, which 176reduces payment to hospitals that fail to meet program requirements. CMS will 177add five new measures to the program, including COVID-19 vaccination rates 178among healthcare personnel, a metric targeting maternal morbidity and two 179medication-related adverse event electronic clinical quality measures. CMS will 180also remove the exclusive breast milk feeding measure and make other changes</p> 181 182 183 184<p>6. <strong>Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program.</strong> CMS 185is finalizing a few changes to the interoperability program to reduce the 186burden on eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals.
