CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 3, § 150.2
Statutory Requirements
The Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 (BBRA),
as amended by the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection
Act of 2000 (BIPA), required that a budget neutral, per discharge PPS for LTCHs based
on diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) be implemented for cost reporting periods beginning
on or after October 1, 2002.
The CMS satisfied the statutory implementation requirement by establishing October 1,
2002 as the effective date of the LTCH PPS with systems changes to follow. Payments
for LTCH services furnished for cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1,
2002 are based on the policies set forth in the August 30, 2002 final rule (67 FR 55954).
