  • Title: Medicare program; changes to the inpatient hospital prospective payment system and fiscal year 1987 rates--HCFA. Final rule.
    Journal: Fed Regist; 1986 Sep 03; 51(170):31454-603. PubMed ID: 10300987.
    Abstract:
    We are amending the Medicare regulations governing the inpatient hospital prospective payment system to implement necessary changes arising from legislation and our continuing experience with the system. In addition, we are describing changes in the methods, amounts, and factors necessary to determine prospective payment rates for Medicare inpatient hospital services. In general, these changes are applicable to discharges occurring on or after October 1, 1986. We are also setting forth the update factor for determining the rate-of-increase limits (target amounts) for hospitals excluded from the prospective payment system.
