Abstract:
In the 2026 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule, we propose amendments to the HPT regulations to enhance clarity and standardization in hospital pricing disclosures. Specifically, we propose revisions to § 180.20 to remove the definition for "estimated allowed amount" and add definitions for "median allowed amount", “tenth percentile allowed amount”, and "ninetieth percentile allowed amount", to help ensure greater precision in cost sharing calculations. Furthermore, we propose revisions to § 180.50 to require hospitals, beginning January 1, 2026, to disclose the median, tenth and ninetieth percentile allowed amounts in MRFs when standard charges are based on percentages or algorithms, as well as the count of allowed amounts. We also propose that hospitals should use EDI 835 transaction remittance data to calculate and encode these values, and we propose specific instructions to hospitals with regard to the methodology, including lookback period, that should be used to calculate the median, tenth and ninetieth percentile allowed amounts. We propose revisions to § 180.50(a)(3) to replace the affirmation statement in the MRF with an attestation statement that would also contain new specifications (relative to existing affirmation requirements) and to require hospitals to encode the name of the chief executive officer, president or senior official designated to oversee the encoding of true, accurate and complete data in the MRF. Additionally, we propose adding a standard identifier, specifically the National Provider Identifier (NPI) to the MRFs.

Short Statement:
The previously approved requirements and burden associated with 0938-1369 lapsed due to administrative oversight. Specifically, CMS failed to submit the revisions to 0938-1369 that pertained to the 2024 final rule (CMS-1786-FC) (88 FR 81540). Therefore, CMS has included the finalized burden mentioned in the 2024 OPPS Final Rule (CMS-1786-FC) and the new proposed 2026 OPPS rule in the request for reinstatement. The accurate annual burden has increased by 17,172 hours (from 383,292 hours to 400,464 hours). This is primarily due to an increase in the number of respondents required to post the required standard charge data and updated wage rates. We also note the additional one-time burden of 37,080 hours related to the implementation of the requirements in the 2026 CY OPPS/ASC proposed rule.
