  • Title: Complexity, caution mark start of PPS for capital.
    Author: Torchia MM.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1991 Nov; 45(11):62, 64, 66 passim. PubMed ID: 10145530.
    Abstract:
    The Health Care Financing Administration's revised and highly complex method of paying for inpatient capital costs includes broadened provisions for old capital, a series of payment "floors" for especially vulnerable facilities, and other changes meant to address industry criticism. But a villain known as budget neutrality inevitably led to reductions in some areas. During the system's 10-year transition, one prominent concern will center on how the Federal rate will be set and adjusted.
