Medicare payments to increase for hospitals next year
Medicare will raise outpatient payments to hospitals by an average 3.7 percent in 2003, with rural facilities receiving slightly more. Total outpatient payments are forecast at 18.7 billion, as the transition to a new rate system reduces beneficiary copayments from 50 to about 20 percent of charges. Doctor payments face ongoing reform talks as physicians face projected cuts totaling about 11 billion over three years.
