- Description
- The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) (formerly known as the Health Care Financing Administration) intends to negotiate a sole source contract with 3M Health Information Systems for the services outlined below: Section 507 of the MMA requires the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) and the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to study physician-owned cardiac, surgery, and orthopedic specialty hospitals, and to report the results of their studies to Congress. After reviewing the results of the studies, CMS stated that it would assess four methodological reforms related to payments for inpatient hospital services. 1. Refine DRGs to more fully capture differences in severity of illness 2. Base DRG weights on estimated cost of providing care 3. Base DRG weights on national average of hospitals? relative values in each DRG 4. Adjust DRG weights to account for differences in prevalence of high-cost outlier cases This procurement will allow these reforms to be studied using a proprietary severity of illness system, the ?all payer refined DRGs (APR-DRGs),? which was referenced by both MedPAC and CMS in recommending solutions. The government anticipates a period of performance for twelve (12) months from date of award. This announcement is for informational purposes only. See number Note 22.
