AHA commented May 24 on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' proposed rules for the skilled nursing and inpatient rehabilitation facility prospective payment systems for fiscal year 2025, expressing concerns about CMS' approach to market basket updates for both, claiming they fail to account for inflation and growth. SNFs are proposed to receive a 4.1% net update for FY 2025, while IRFs would receive a proposed 2.8% increase. 

AHA also expressed concerns about quality reporting program requirements under both proposed rules.
