Abstract:
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is requesting approval of revisions to the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility-Patient Assessment Instrument (IRF-PAI) Version 4.1 that will be effective on October 1, 2024. On April 7, 2023 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) (88 FR 20950) which proposes modifications to the collection of quality reporting data in the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Quality Reporting Program (IRF QRP). Specifically, CMS proposes to adopt two new measures and remove three measures from the IRF QRP. Per the NPRM, CMS proposes to require IRFs to start collecting assessment data using the IRF-PAI Version 4.2 for IRF patients beginning October 1, 2024.
