labor share standardization factor.
However, there are distributional effects of the FY 2022 hospice wage index. The fifth column shows the effect of the hospice payment update percentage as mandated by section 1814i1C of the Act, and is consistent for all providers.
The 2.0 hospice payment update percentage is based on the 2.7 percent inpatient hospital market basket update, reduced by a 0.7 percentage point productivity adjustment. The sixth column shows the effect of all the
proposed changes on FY 2022 hospice payments. It is projected that aggregate payments would increase by 2.0
percent; assuming hospices do not change their billing practices. As illustrated in Table 25, the combined effects of all the proposals vary by specific types of providers and by location.
In addition, we are providing a provider-specific impact analysis file, which is available on our website at https www.cms.gov/Medicare/
Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/
Hospice/Hospice-Regulations-andNotices.html. We note that simulated payments are based on utilization in FY
2020 as seen on Medicare hospice claims accessed from the CCW in May 2021 and only include payments related to the level of care and do not include payments related to the service intensity add-on.
As illustrated in Table 25, the combined effects of all the proposals vary by specific types of providers and by location.
