  • Title: Medicare program; changes to the hospital inpatient prospective payment systems and fiscal year 1996 rates--HCFA. Final rule with comment period.
    Journal: Fed Regist; 1995 Sep 01; 60(170):45778-946. PubMed ID: 10151180.
    Abstract:
    We are revising the Medicare hospital inpatient prospective payment systems for operating costs and capital-related costs to implement necessary changes arising from our continuing experience with the system. In addition, in the addendum to this final rule, we are describing changes in the amounts and factors necessary to determine prospective payment rates for Medicare hospital inpatient services for operating costs and capital-related costs. These changes are applicable to discharges occurring on or after October 1, 1995. We are also setting forth rate-of-increase limits as well as policy changes for hospitals and hospital units excluded from the prospective payment systems. Finally, we are setting forth several requirements concerning Essential Access Community Hospitals (EACHs) and Rural Primary Care Hospitals (RPCHs), in accordance with provisions of the Social Security Act Amendments of 1994.
