  • On August 28, 2024, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published its fiscal year (FY) 2025 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) final rule, with most provisions taking effect on October 1, 2024.
  • AACOM submitted comments to the FY25 IPPS proposed rule in June.
  • CMS finalized distribution plans for residency slots under Section 4122 of the CAA, 2023, and Section 126 of the CAA, 2021.
  • CMS chose not to finalize “new” residency program requirement proposals due to lack of comment consensus, and instead, issued another request for information (RFI) on what constitutes a new residency program. Comments are due on October 15. More information can be found on this page under "Program Newness Request for Information."
  • For detailed information on the final rule, review the CMS Fact Sheet and a summary from the National Rural Health Association.
