coinsurance amounts for CY 2025 will 

be as follows: $419 for the 61st through 

90th day of hospitalization in a benefit 

period; $838 for lifetime reserve days; 

and $209.50 for the 21st through 100th 

day of extended care services in a 

skilled nursing facility in a benefit 

period. 

DATES: The deductible and coinsurance 

amounts announced in this notice are 

effective on January 1, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 1813 of the Social Security 

Act (the Act) provides for an inpatient 

hospital deductible to be subtracted 

from the amount payable by Medicare 

for inpatient hospital services furnished 

to a beneficiary. It also provides for 

certain coinsurance amounts to be 

subtracted from the amounts payable by 

Medicare for inpatient hospital and 

extended care services. Section 

1813(b)(2) of the Act requires the 

Secretary of the Department of Health 

and Human Services (the Secretary) to 

determine and publish each year the 

amount of the inpatient hospital 

deductible and the hospital and 

extended care services coinsurance 

amounts applicable for services 

furnished in the following calendar year 

(CY). 

II. Computing the Inpatient Hospital 

Deductible for CY 2025 

Section 1813(b) of the Act prescribes 

the method for computing the amount of 

the inpatient hospital deductible. The 

inpatient hospital deductible is an 

amount equal to the inpatient hospital 

deductible for the preceding CY, 

adjusted by the Secretary’s best estimate 

of the payment-weighted average of the 

applicable percentage increases (as 

defined in section 1886(b)(3)(B) of the 

Act) used for updating the payment 

rates to hospitals for discharges in the 

fiscal year (FY) that begins on October 

1 of the same preceding CY, and 

adjusted to reflect changes in real casemix. The adjustment to reflect real casemix is determined on the basis of the 

most recent case-mix data available. The 

amount determined under this formula 

is rounded to the nearest multiple of $4 

(or, if midway between two multiples of 

$4, to the next higher multiple of $4). 

Under section 1886(b)(3)(B)(i)(XX) of 

the Act, the percentage increase used to 

update the payment rates for FY 2025 

for hospitals paid under the inpatient 

prospective payment system (IPPS) is 

the IPPS operating market basket 

percentage increase, otherwise known 

as the IPPS market basket update, 

reduced by an adjustment based on 

changes in the economy-wide 

productivity (productivity adjustment) 

(see section 1886(b)(3)(B)(xi)(II) of the 

Act). Under section 1886(b)(3)(B)(viii) of 

the Act, for FY 2025, the applicable 

percentage increase for hospitals that do 

not submit quality data as specified by 

the Secretary is reduced by one quarter 

of the market basket update. We are 

estimating that after accounting for 

those hospitals receiving the lower 

market basket update in the paymentweighted average update, the calculated 

deductible will not be affected, since the 

majority of hospitals submit quality data 

and receive the full market basket 

update. Section 1886(b)(3)(B)(ix) of the 

Act requires that any hospital that is not 

a meaningful electronic health record 

(EHR) user (as defined in section 

1886(n)(3) of the Act) will have threequarters of the market basket update 

reduced by 100 percent for FY 2017 and 

each subsequent FY. We are estimating 

that after accounting for these hospitals 

receiving the lower market basket 

update, the calculated deductible will 

not be affected, since the majority of 

hospitals are meaningful EHR users and 

are expected to receive the full market 

basket update. 

Under section 1886 of the Act, the 

percentage increase used to update the 

payment rates (or target amounts, as 

applicable) for FY 2025 for hospitals 

excluded from the inpatient prospective 

payment system is as follows: 

• The percentage increase for long 

term care hospitals (LTCH) is the LTCH 

market basket percentage increase 

reduced by the productivity adjustment 

(see section 1886(m)(3)(A) of the Act). In 

addition, these hospitals may also be 

impacted by the quality reporting 

adjustments and the site-neutral 

payment rates (see sections 1886(m)(5) 

and 1886(m)(6) of the Act). 

• The percentage increase for 

inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRF) is 

the IRF market basket percentage 

increase reduced by the productivity 

adjustment in accordance with section 

1886(j)(3)(C)(ii)(I) of the Act. In 

addition, these hospitals may also be 

impacted by the quality reporting 

adjustments (see section 1886(j)(7) of 

the Act). 

• The percentage increase used to 

update the payment rate for inpatient 

psychiatric facilities (IPF) is the IPF
