CMS estimates that policies and rates in the proposed rule would increase combined operating and capital payments to the approximately 3,330 acute care hospitals paid under the IPPS by about $539 million in FY 2017 compared to FY 2016. The increase results from an increase of about $375 million in IPPS operating payments and an increase of about $164 million in IPPS capital payments.
