FY 2024 IPPS Final Rule: Looking Under the Hood for Hazards

Monitor Mondays

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) FY2024 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Final Rule, posted on Aug. 1, reveals changes to the MS-DRG, CMS Hospital Acquired Conditions, and CMS Inpatient Quality Reporting Program affecting inpatient revenue cycles, quality reporting, and reputations essential to hospital operations. There are plenty of audit hazards. And that’s why RACmonitor invited James S. Kennedy, MD, a nationally recognized clinical coding authority, to be our expert tour guide during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays to identify potential risks and opportunities effective on October 1, 2023.

Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:

• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, vice president of R1 RCM, will make his Monday Rounds.
  
• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Cara Ludwig, substituting for Knicole Emanuel, will report the latest news about auditors.
  
• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.
