    Author: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), HHS.
    Journal: Fed Regist; 2001 Aug 07; 66(152):41315-430. PubMed ID: 11794307.
    Abstract:
    This final rule establishes a prospective payment system for Medicare payment of inpatient hospital services provided by a rehabilitation hospital or by a rehabilitation unit of a hospital. It implements section 1886(j)of the Social Security Act (the Act), as added by section 4421 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and as amended by section 125 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP [State Children's Health Insurance Program] Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 and by section 305 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000. Section 1886(j) of the Act authorizes the implementation of a prospective payment system for inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and rehabilitation units of hospitals. This section also authorizes the Secretary to require rehabilitation hospitals and rehabilitation units to submit data as the Secretary deems necessary to establish and administer the prospective payment system. The prospective payment system described in this final rule replaces the reasonable cost-based payment system under which rehabilitation hospitals and rehabilitation units of hospitals are paid under Medicare.
