HFMA Colorado chapter newsletter, July 2016. While the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) program is positioned as a “test,” given the infrastructure being put in place by CMS to run the program, CJR is likely just the start of a larger effort by CMS to implement additional mandatory bundled payment programs. Therefore, it’s very important that hospital financial stakeholders become familiar with CJR even if their hospital isn’t currently a participant.
We Turn and Face the Changes - The S-10 Emerges as a Proxy for PaymentBESLER
The Federal Fiscal Year 2017 Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) final rule issued a postponement for using data from Worksheet S-10 of the Medicare cost report to determine Medicare Disproportionate Share Uncompensated Care payments.The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services originally intended to incorporate WS S-10 in the methodology beginning next October (FFY 2018). However, due to copious and thoughtful observations from commenters, CMS has again put WS S-10 on hold while a number of issues surrounding fairness, consistency and accuracy are deliberated. The hospital community will be engaged in future rulemaking and CMS anticipates WS S-10 will be used for UC payments no later than FFY 2021 (using WS S-10 from cost reports beginning in FFY 2017).So join us as we take a look at the S-10’s key issues and what could have been if the S-10 was employed to determine UC payments sooner rather than later.
