The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released its 2025 proposed rule for prospective payments and policies for Medicare-reimbursed inpatient psychiatric facilities.
CMS has proposed a 2.7% increase in the payment rate of inpatient psychiatric facilities (IPFs) for 2025. The agency estimates that the total payments to IPFs in 2025 will increase by 2.6% or $70 million.
In 2024, CMS raised the total estimated Medicare spending for IPFs by 2.3% and updated payment rates for IPFs by 3.3%.
“Changes included in this proposed rule would support the provision of high-quality behavioral health treatment in inpatient psychiatric facilities, consistent with the Biden Administration’s Unity Agenda and focus on addressing the mental health crisis,” a statement from CMS reads.
