The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the federal fiscal year (FY) proposed rule April 18. The 黑料网® (黑料网®) has put together a detailed summary of updates relevant to radiology.
The proposed rule provides updates for Medicare fee-for-service payment rates and policies for inpatient hospitals and long-term care hospitals for FY 2023. CMS pays acute care for inpatient stays based on the patient’s diagnosis and severity of illness. Subject to certain adjustments, a hospital receives a single payment for the case dependent on the payment classification assigned at discharge through Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Groups.
