Policy and Payment Changes for Long-Term Care Hospitals for Rate Year 2008 (PE200705-21)
On May 1, 2007, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) posted the Rate Year (RY) 2008 long-term care hospital prospective payment system (LTCH PPS) Final Rule (CMS-1529-F) and it appeared in the May 11, 2007 issue of the Federal Register. CMS recently discovered an error that was made in the calculation of the high-cost outlier fixed-loss amount in the RY 2008 LTCH PPS Final Rule. The final RY 2008 high-cost outlier fixed-loss amount should have been $20,738. We expect to publish a correction notice with the revised information in the Federal Register shortly.
