The U.S. Senate and House of Representatives sent a letter “urging CMS to further evaluate” proposed Medicare market basket updates for 2023 “and consider using its special exceptions and adjustments authority to revise the final IPPS rule to ensure hospitals have the resources they need to provide optimal care.” MHA thanks the members of Congress who signed onto the ‘dear colleague’ letter, with special thanks to Missouri’s members of Congress, including Representatives Graves, Hartzler, Luetkemeyer, Smith and Wagner.
