CMS Proposes Increase in Medicare Payments to Nursing Homes
for 2008
Medicare payments to nursing homes would increase by approximately $690 million in the 2008 fiscal year under new rates proposed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This 3.3 percent increase would affect payment rates to nursing facilities that furnish certain skilled nursing and rehabilitation care to Medicare beneficiaries recovering from serious health problems. The proposed rule for the skilled nursing facility prospective payment system (SNF PPS) was placed on display at the Federal Register.
