The CMS notice addresses errors in the agency’s final rule on hospital inpatient prospective payment system rates, which it issued in August. The corrections refer to various technical and typographical errors. For instance, CMS made an inadvertent error in calculating the updated proxy value-based incentive payment adjustment factors for the hospital value-based purchasing program.

For more information, read the full correction notice here.
