What impact has the implementation of IPF-PPS for inpatient psychiatric programs had on the financial outcomes in inpatient behavioral health at our hospital?
• The Prospective Payment System for Inpatient Psychiatric Programs (IPF-PPS) changed reimbursement from a cost based system to a per-diem rate system for distinct part units (DPU) in hospitals. Since it was designed to be budget neutral, reimbursement for psychiatric services for some hospitals have improved while other hospitals will receive less reimbursement than they would have under the former cost-based system. Signet Health assists client hospitals with strategy adjustments to benefit from IPF-PPS reimbursement as compared to the out-dated strategies utilized with the old cost-based revenue system.
