title: Prospective payment system for inpatient hospital capital-related costs--HCFA. Final rule.
abstract: We are revising the Medicare payment methodology for hospital inpatient capital-related costs for hospitals paid under the prospective payment system. As required by section 1886(g) of the Social Security Act, we are replacing the reasonable cost-based payment methodology with a prospective payment methodology for hospital inpatient capital-related costs. Under this prospective payment methodology, a predetermined amount per discharge will be made for Medicare inpatient capital-related costs.
