01 / CONTEXT Why this matters

Hospitals don't need more raw CMS documents.

They need faster visibility into what changed, which DRGs are affected, and where reimbursement impact may follow.

CMS adjusts MS-DRG relative weights and payment policy every August, effective October 1. Each change multiplies against a hospital's base rate — and then against volume. The documents are public; the signal inside them is not.

Healthcare Informatics Hub replaces the newsletter-and-osmosis workflow with a structured, versioned, source-traceable view: every DRG, every fiscal year, every delta — with its originating CMS or Federal Register document one click away.

02 / PLATFORM What the platform does

Look up your hospital. Trace every number. Plan the next fiscal year.

01

Look up your hospital

Type any of 3,048 US IPPS hospitals by name or CCN and see the projected FY2026 → FY2027 operating payment delta — with a receipt showing wage index, transfer-adjusted CMI, and case count.

  • 3,048 hospitals indexed
  • Per-hospital receipt with sources
  • Delta decomposed by input
Open Hospital Impact →
02

Trace the source

Every DRG weight, every hospital input, every delta links back to its originating CMS or Federal Register document — so finance, audit, and operations see the same citation.

  • Citations to CMS & Federal Register
  • Rule number, table, and page
  • Versioned by fiscal year
Open DRG Search →
03

Estimate the impact

Modeled reimbursement effect at the DRG, hospital, and aggregate level — ready for the board memo, the budget variance review, or the finance workbook.

  • Hospital-level FY27 exposure
  • DRG-level $ impact by case volume
  • CSV export for finance & BI

Hospital Impact Lookup.

Type your hospital's name — get its projected FY2026 → FY2027 IPPS operating payment delta in dollars and percent. Every number on the receipt cites its CMS source.

Built on the FY2026 and FY2027 IPPS Final Rule Impact Files. Across all 3,048 hospitals the model shows +2.120% — of which +1.427 pp is the base-rate movement and +0.662 pp is wage index. CMS Table I reports a +2.2% hospital-rate-update effect and +1.7% all-in across 3,005 hospitals, with wage index and recalibration budget-neutralized to 0.0. Different constructions over different universes: the comparison is directional, not a reproduction. See the methodology drawer inside the tool.

IPPS Policy Highlights

Verbatim CMS rule language with page-level citations — 475 structured policy records — 220 from the FY2026 Final Rule and 255 from the FY2027 Proposed Rule, each row badged with its own source. The FY2027 narrative has not yet been re-extracted against the Final Rule text, so a policy shown there may have changed before finalisation; every weight, rate and dollar figure elsewhere in the product is Final. Joinable to DRGs, filterable by policy type (Wage Index, NTAP, DSH, Outlier, Special Hospital, Episode Model, etc.), with copy-quote functionality for finance memos.

FY2026 → FY2027 IPPS Payment Outlook

Being regenerated against the Final Rule. The current download reflects the FY2027 Proposed Rule, under which 2,228 of the then-indexed hospitals stood to gain a combined +$2.20B in operating payments — modelled at constant FY27 case volume to isolate rule-change impact from snapshot volume drift. Includes dollar & percent leaderboards, regional and provider-type distributions, and methodology with full per-row provenance.

Verification workbook

Being regenerated against the Final Rule — do not use for FY2027 budgeting. The current download is built entirely on the FY2027 Proposed Rule: base rate $6,967.87 (the Final rate is $6,848.98), 3,060 hospitals (the Final model indexes 3,048), and a UCSF worked example of +$20.49M that the Final Rule puts at +$12.14M. Per-hospital payment columns are static values, not live formulas. Structure and methodology are accurate; the rate vintage is superseded.
