The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has issued a proposed rule that updates hospice base payments and the aggregate cap amount for 2022.
As proposed, hospices would see a 2.3%, or $530 million increase in their payments for FY 2022. The proposed 2.3% hospice payment update is based on the estimated 2.5% inpatient hospital market basket reduced by the multifactor productivity adjustment of 0.2%.
