Note from the Associate Editorial Director: Panta rhei—All things change
by Melissa Varnavas
It’s that time of the year again: time to pull down the tome that is the inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS) final rule and mine its pages for changes relevant to daily CDI reviews. While intimidating at more than 600 pages, the IPPS rule can be broken into digestible bits, including changes to the ICD-10-CM/PCS code set and shifts in CC/MCC designations. It also frequently includes a number of healthcare payment initiatives that seek to implement reimbursement reforms put in place by government regulations such as the Affordable Care Act.
