Some of the proposed changes implement certain statutory provisions contained in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively known as the Affordable Care Act), the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, and other legislation. These proposed changes would be applicable to discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2014, unless otherwise specified in this proposed rule. We also are proposing to update the rate-of- increase limits for certain hospitals excluded from the IPPS that are paid on a reasonable cost basis subject to these limits. The proposed updated rate-of-increase limits would be effective for cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2014. We also are proposing to update the payment policies and the annual payment rates for the Medicare prospective payment system (PPS) for inpatient hospital services provided by long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) and to implement certain statutory changes to the LTCH PPS under the Affordable Care Act and the Pathway for Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) Reform Act of 2013 and the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014. In addition we are proposing to revise the interruption of stay policy for LTCHs and to retire the "5 percent" payment adjustment for co-located LTCHs. While many of the statutory mandates of the Pathway for SGR Reform Act will apply to discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2014, others will not begin to apply until 2016 and beyond. However, in light of the degree of forthcoming change, we discuss changes infra and request public feedback to inform our proposals for FY 2016 in this proposed rule as well. In addition, we are proposing to make a number of changes relating to direct graduate medical education (GME) and indirect medical education (IME) payments. We are proposing to establish new requirements or revise requirements for quality reporting by specific providers (acute care hospitals, PPS-exempt cancer hospitals, and LTCHs) that are participating in Medicare. We are proposing to update policies relating to the Hospital Value- Based Purchasing (VBP) Program, the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, and the Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program. In addition, we are proposing changes to the regulations governing provider administrative appeals and judicial review relating to appropriate claims in provider cost reports; updates to the reasonable compensation equivalent (RCE) limits for services furnished by physicians to teaching hospitals excluded from the IPPS; regulatory revisions to broaden the specified uses of risk adjustment data and to specify the conditions for release of risk adjustment data to entities outside of CMS; and changes to the enforcement procedures for organ transplant centers. We are proposing to align the reporting and submission timelines for clinical quality measures for the Medicare EHR Incentive Program for eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) with the reporting and submission timelines for the Hospital IQR Program. In addition, we provide guidance and clarification of certain policies for eligible hospitals and CAHs such as our policy for reporting zero denominators on clinical quality measures and our policy for case threshold exemptions. 79 FR 27978 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2014-05-15/2014-10067 2014-10067 fr15my14-26 4120-01-P CMS-1607-P https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2014-05-15/2014-10067 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-05-15/html/2014-10067.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-05-15/pdf/2014-10067.pdf Administrative Practice and Procedure Health Facilities Health Professions Kidney Diseases Medicare Reporting and Recordkeeping Rural Areas X-Rays Puerto Rico Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Health Maintenance Organizations (Hmo) Penalties Privacy Emergency Medical Services Grant Programs-Health Medicaid 407 p. 27978 28384 79 FR 27978 Title 42 Part 405 42 CFR Part 405 Title 42 Part 412 42 CFR Part 412 Title 42 Part 413 42 CFR Part 413 Title 42 Part 415 42 CFR Part 415 Title 42 Part 422 42 CFR Part 422 Title 42 Part 424 42 CFR Part 424 Title 42 Part 485 42 CFR Part 485 Title 42 Part 488 42 CFR Part 488 Medicare Program; Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment Systems for Acute Care Hospitals and the Long-Term Care Hospital Prospective Payment System and Proposed Fiscal Year 2015 Rates; Quality Reporting Requirements for Specific Providers; Reasonable Compensation Equivalents for Physician Services in Excluded Teaching Hospitals; Provider Administrative Appeals and Judicial Review; Enforcement Provisions for Organ Transplant Centers; and Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program; Federal Register Vol. 79, Issue PRORULE 2014-10067 II DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 2014-06-30 CMS-1607-P 4120-01-P 2014-10067 Proposed rule.
