Description
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) (formerly known as the Health Care Financing Administration) intends to negotiate an award with Stepwise Systems, Inc., Austin, Texas 78765 to implement case-mix adjustment for patients using swing beds at hospitals participating in the Rural Community Hospital demonstration. The policy of an adjustment according to the severity in patients? conditions was incorporated into the demonstration in an effort to make the payment methodology more equitable to participating hospitals. The overall payment methodology for Medicare inpatient services in this demonstration, including swing beds is documented in change request 5020, released on April 14, 2006 and to be found on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Web Site under Transmittals. There are currently nine hospitals participating in the demonstration, six of which have swing beds. The contractor will be required to extract minimum data set (MDS) data for each hospital that has swing beds and that is reporting the MDS, and then use the methodology outlined in the scope of work to implement a per discharge case mix. The government anticipates a period of performance for forty-eight (48) months from date of award. This announcement is for informational purposes only. See number Note 22.
