Hospital Readmissions Reduction
Program
• In October 2012, CMS began reducing Medicare payments for
Inpatient Prospective Payment System hospitals with excess
readmissions.
• Excess readmissions are measured by a ratio, by dividing a
hospital’s number of “predicted” 30-day readmissions for heart
attack, heart failure, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, hip/knee replacement, and coronary artery bypass graft
surgery by the number that would be “expected,” based on an
average hospital with similar patients.
• A ratio greater than 1.0000 indicates excess readmissions.
• Average Readmission Ratio 2013 to 2016
