Benchmark: Medicare Payment System Updates for Acute and Long-Term Care Hospitals

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Medicare IPPS and LTCH PPS proposed changes for FY 2026, quality program updates, and related policy shifts. In 5–10 minutes, you’ll gauge how well you understand the rule’s intent, who is most affected, and the operational trade-offs you may need to manage. You’ll walk away with: 1) a quick read on potential revenue, quality, and equity impacts to your organization; 2) clarity on where you may need deeper knowledge—MS-DRG updates, wage index floors and transitions, market basket rebasing, LTCH site neutral policies, and reporting requirements; and 3) a targeted learning plan so you can focus on the modules that matter most. Use your results to prioritize what to learn before budgets, contracts, documentation practices, and reporting timelines are set—and to prepare informed comments before the rule is finalized.
