Note from the instructor: Updates to inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS) payment factors for discharges during FY 2016

Most short-term acute-care inpatient hospital stays covered under Medicare Part A are payable under the IPPS, based upon the MS-DRG to which that case is assigned. Each FY, CMS publishes a final rule setting out the IPPS changes for that FY. The IPPS changes for FY 2016 can be found in more detail in the source authorities cited at the end of this note.
