The 2020 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) proposed rule was released on April 23, 2019. It contains several possible changes that will directly affect the day-to-day work of CDI professionals, and the financial and quality outcomes of the organizations in which they work.
For this reason, we strongly recommend that you read the rule and comment to CMS. This is a proposed rule and is subject to a comment period. ACDIS will be preparing a comment of its own to send to CMS, but we believe that the more voices that send comments, the better.
Comments on the rule are due no later than 5 p.m. eastern on June 24, 2019.
DISCLAIMER Advice given is general, and readers should consult professional counsel for specific legal, ethical, or clinical questions. Users of this service should consult attorneys who are familiar with federal and state health laws.
