Abstract
This final rule updates the prospective payment rates for inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) for Federal fiscal year (FY) 2024. As required by statute, this final rule includes the classification and weighting factors for the IRF prospective payment system's case-mix groups and a description of the methodologies and data used in computing the prospective payment rates for FY 2024. It also rebases and revises the IRF market basket to reflect a 2021 base year. It also confirms when IRF units can become excluded and paid under the IRF PPS. This rule also includes updates for the IRF Quality Reporting Program (QRP).
