Inpatient Prospective Payment Systems (IPPS)
More than three-quarters of the nation's inpatient acute-care hospitals are paid under the inpatient prospective payment system, while nearly a quarter are paid based on costs and are called Critical Access Hospitals. The IPPS pays a flat rate based on the average charges across all hospitals for a specific diagnosis, regardless of whether that particular patient costs more or less. Everything from an aspirin to an artificial hip is included in the package price to the hospital.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services late on April 27, 2021, issued its hospital inpatient prospective payment system and long-term care hospital PPS proposed rule for fiscal year 2022. AHA staff are reviewing the rule.
