Retroactive reimbursement under HCFA's PPS for capital.
Most hospitals participating in a diagnosis related group-based prospective payment system (PPS) make the transition to HCFA's PPS for capital reimbursement much as they did to PPS for operating cost reimbursement. However, unlike the transition to a Federal rate of reimbursement for a hospital's operating cost, the initial years of the transition to a Federal rate for Medicare capital cost reimbursement may offer significant opportunities for retroactive reimbursement.
