IPPS Advocacy
Ignoring concerns expressed by America's hospitals and a majority of both houses of Congress, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on July 30, 2010, issued its hospital inpatient and long-term care prospective payment system final rule for fiscal year (FY) 2011 that finalizes its proposed 2.9 percent "coding offset."
According to CMS, the cut is necessary to eliminate what CMS claims is the effect of coding or classification changes the agency says do not reflect real changes in case-mix. Due to the coding offset cut, with other policy changes, hospitals will see their FY 2011 payments decrease by 0.4 percent on average compared to FY 2010. In total, the coding offset cuts $3.7 billion in Medicare hospital inpatient payments for FY 2011.
