Affordable Care Act (ACA) Section 3025 expansion of a field in the Inpatient Provider Specific File (PSF)
Under the Hospital Readmission Reduction Program, a readmission adjustment factor will be applied in determining a subsection (d) hospital's (and may be applied to Maryland hospitals under section 1814(b)(3)) operating IPPS payment amount in accordance with Section 3025 of the Affordable Care Act. Under section 3025, certain hospitals will receive a readmission adjustment factor that is the higher of a ratio described in Section 3025 of the Affordable Care Act or a floor specified in section 1886(q)(3) of the Act. We are expanding a numeric field in the inpatient PSF for the Readmission Adjustment Factor.
