(a) Method of Payment. (1) Under the inpatient psychiatric facility prospective payment system, inpatient psychiatric facilities receive a predetermined Federal per diem base rate for inpatient hospital services furnished to Medicare Part A fee-for-service beneficiaries. (2) The Federal per diem payment amount is based on the Federal per diem base rate plus applicable adjustments as specified in §412.424. (3) During the transition period, payment is based on a blend of the Federal per diem payment amount as specified in §412.424, and the facility-specific payment rate as specified in §412.426. (b) Payment in full. (1) The payment made under this subpart represents payment in full (subject to applicable deductibles and coinsurance as specified in subpart G of part 409 of this chapter) for inpatient operating and capital-related costs associated with furnishing Medicare covered services in an inpatient psychiatric facility, but not the cost of an approved medical education program as specified in §413.75 through §413.85 of this chapter. (2) In addition to the Federal per diem payment amounts, inpatient psychiatric facilities receive payment for bad debts of Medicare beneficiaries, as specified in §413.80 of this chapter.
