AHA Statement on FY 2026 Proposed IPPS & LTCH Payment Rule
America’s hospitals and health systems spend too many resources each year on regulatory requirements, forcing many of our clinicians to focus more time completing paperwork than treating patients. The AHA appreciates the Administration’s request for information on approaches and opportunities to streamline regulations and reduce burdens in the Medicare program.
AHA Statement on FY 2025 Final IPPS & LTCH Payment Rule
CMS’ payment updates for hospitals will exacerbate the already unsustainable negative or break-even margins many hospitals are already operating under as they care for their patients. The AHA is deeply concerned about the impact these inadequate payments will have on patient access to care, especially in rural and underserved communities.
AHA Statement on FY 2025 Proposed IPPS & LTCH Payment Rule
CMS’ proposed inpatient hospital payment update of 2.6% is woefully inadequate, especially following years of high inflation and rising costs for labor, drugs, and equipment. Many hospitals across the country, especially those in rural and underserved communities, continue to operate under unsustainable negative or break-even margins.
AHA Statement on FY 2024 Final IPPS & LTCH Payment Rule
The AHA is deeply concerned with CMS’ woefully inadequate inpatient and long-term care hospital payment updates. The agency continues to finalize rate increases that are not commensurate with the near decades-high inflation and increased costs for labor, equipment, drugs and supplies that hospitals across the country are experiencing.
AHA Statement on FY 2024 Proposed IPPS & LTCH Payment Rule
The AHA is deeply concerned with CMS’ woefully inadequate proposed inpatient hospital payment update of 2.8% given the near decades-high inflation and increased costs for labor, equipment, drugs and supplies.
AHA Statement on FY 2023 IPPS Final Rule
We are pleased that CMS will provide hospitals and health systems with increased inpatient payments next year, rather than a cut as proposed, allowing them to better provide care for their patients and communities
AHA Statement on FY 2023 Proposed IPPS Rule
We are extremely concerned with CMS’ proposed payment update of only 3.2%, given the extraordinary inflationary environment and continued labor and supply cost pressures hospitals and health systems face.
