This analysis is intended to show providers how Medicare inpatient FFS payments will change from the current year to the next year based on the policies and rules set forth by CMS. The analysis compares the year-to-year of change in operating, capital, and uncompensated care IPPS payments and includes breakout sections that provide detailed insight into specific policies that influence IPPS payment changes. This analysis also includes adjustments for geographic variation.
Analysis is performed twice each year, once for proposed rule changes and once for final rule changes.
Current Proposed Rule Impact Analysis – FFY 2020
Current Final Rule Impact Analysis – FFY 2020
Like the IPPS analysis, this analysis is intended to show providers how Medicare outpatient fee-for-service (FFS) payments will change from year to year based on the policies set forth by CMS. This report compares changes in; Marketbasket, Wage Index, APC Factors, Outlier BN and others.
Analysis is performed twice each year, once for proposed rule changes and once for final rule changes.

Quality Program Measure Trends Analysis
The Quality Program Measure Trends Analysis is designed to provide hospitals with a comparative review over time of the quality data collected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and published on the Hospital Compare Web site at
https://www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare/.
The specific measures analyzed represent the measures included in a Medicare Quality Programs: Value Based Purchasing (VBP), Readmissions Reduction Program (RRP), and Hospital Acquired Conditions (HAC) reduction program as well as the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) program. The analysis also includes HCAHPS and overall star ratings. Measures are divided into categories: Star Ratings, Safety of Care, Patient Experience of Care (VBP/CJR), Outcomes, Readmissions, and Efficiency. The analysis includes measures that CMS has adopted for use in at least one of the four programs for the current program year and forward. Certain measures do not apply to all program years.

Value Based Purchasing (VBP) Impact Analysis
The VBP Impact Analysis is intended to provide hospitals with a preview of the potential impact of the next fiscal year inpatient hospital VBP Program based on publicly available data and program rules established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
The reports included in this analysis estimate VBP scores, impacts, and trends and provide full detail on how the points and scores for each VBP measure and domain are calculated.
Updates are provided quarterly, shortly after updates to the Core Measures and Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Readmission Reduction Program Analysis
This Analysis provides detailed performance information on the readmissions measures that are currently evaluated or will be evaluated under the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program. The analysis is intended to provide hospitals with an in-depth review of actual performance under previous years of the Program. The analysis also projects potential exposure under upcoming program years.
Readmission Reduction Impact Analysis – FFY 2019 Program
Hospital Acquired Conditions (HAC) Reduction Program Analysis
This analysis is intended to provide hospitals with a preview of the potential impact of the Medicare inpatient HAC Reduction Program. The analysis includes estimates and detail on how HAC measure and domain scores are calculated and how payment penalties are determined and applied under the Program. A report that compares the current program year performance to the estimated impact of subsequent year is also included.
HAC Reduction Program Impact Analysis – FFY 2020 Program
- Due to data limitations, this analysis does not use the data for the same performance periods that CMS will use to calculate its final FFY 2020 HAC Program scores. That data will not be available on Hospital Compare until the start of FFY 2020. The estimated scores and dollar impacts shown in this analysis will differ from the final CMS calculations and may vary from those provided by other organizations due to differences in source data and analytic methods.
