Medicare rates for Idaho effective 10/01/10
Now Available under "Reimbursement" in the Members Only section of this website.
I have not had a chance to analyze where our current rates are compared to the RUG IV grouper that will go into effect on October 1, 2010 and compared to the Hybrid RUG III rates that will retroactively go into effect once CMS has the infrastructure in place to calculate the hybrid rates.
