The MHA recently submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding the proposed rule to update the Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) long term care hospital (LTCH) prospective payment system (PPS) for fiscal year 2024. These comments were due to the CMS June 9.
The CMS is expected to release a final rule to update the LTCH PPS in early August (2023) ahead of the Oct. 1 effective date. The MHA will provide members with an updated Medicare FFS impact analysis following the final rule’s release.
Members with questions should contact Vickie Kunz at the MHA.
