Medicare program; changes to the hospital inpatient prospective payment systems and fiscal year 1994 rates--HCFA. Final rule with comment period.
We are revising the Medicare hospital inpatient prospective payment systems for operating costs and capital-related costs to implement necessary changes arising from our continuing experience with the system. In addition, in the addendum to this final rule with comment period, we are describing changes in the amounts and factors necessary to determine prospective payment rates for Medicare hospital inpatient services for operating costs and capital-related costs. These changes are applicable to discharges occurring on or after October 1, 1993, unless the statute provides otherwise. We are also setting forth rate-of-increase limits for hospitals and hospital units excluded from the prospective payment systems. Finally, we are implementing certain changes in the hospital inpatient prospective payment systems resulting from the enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 on August 10, 1993.
