FY 2026 CMS updates to IPPS and LTCH PPS introduce significant changes that directly affect hospital reimbursement, compliance, and operational workflows. Yet many healthcare teams continue to rely on outdated interpretations—creating hidden risks in audits, reporting, and revenue capture.

This webinar breaks down the final rule updates, including changes to MS-DRG classifications, payment rates, and quality reporting programs, while highlighting where organizations are most likely to fall behind.

Attendees will gain clarity on what CMS expects—and where gaps in coding, documentation, and compliance processes could lead to missed reimbursement opportunities or increased scrutiny.

If your organization has not fully evaluated these updates, you may already be exposed to financial inefficiencies and compliance risks without realizing it. 

After this webinar attendees will be able to answer the following: -

• Are we fully aligned with the FY 2026 IPPS and LTCH PPS final rule changes, or are we operating with outdated assumptions? 
• How will MS-DRG updates and reimbursement adjustments impact our hospital’s financial performance? 
• Are we at risk of revenue loss or compliance exposure due to gaps in documentation and reporting? 
• Do our teams understand the latest CMS quality program requirements (HAC, HRRP, VBP), or are we missing key updates? 
• Are we prepared to handle new data reporting expectations, including eCQMs and SDOH-related requirements?
