What the agency says
This interim final action with comment period (IFC) implements revised Medicare wage index values for FY 2025, establishes a transitional payment exception for low wage hospitals significantly impacted by those revisions, and makes conforming changes to the hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) payment rates for FY 2025. These changes reflect the removal of the low wage index hospital policy following the appellate court decision in Bridgeport Hosp. v. Becerra. This rule also makes conforming changes to IPPS rates and factors used to determine certain payments under the Long-Term Care Hospital Prospective Payment System (LTCH PPS).
