Inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) are projected to receive approximately $6.3 billion in payments from the Medicare program in fiscal year (FY) 2008, under a proposed rule announced today by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The proposed rule would update payment rates and modify payment policies for services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries for discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008. The rule’s provisions are estimated to increase Medicare payments to approximately 1,234 IRFs in FY 2008 by approximately $150 million.
