Medicare Prescription Drug Law's Impact on Medicare IME Payments
Section 502 of the "Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003," which was signed into law on December
9, 2003, increases the IME adjustment from 5.5 to 6.0 percent on
April 1, 2004; 5.8 percent in FY 2005; and 5.55 percent in FY 2006.
In FY 2007, IME payments are reduced to 5.35 percent before being
set at 5.5 percent in FY 2008 and beyond. It is estimated that this
provision will provide $400 million to teaching hospitals over ten
years.
