Comment on CMS-2026-1256-0002
Penn State HealthOtherAdvocacy
Summary: Penn State Health, an integrated academic health system, provides a mixed response to the proposed rule, supporting updates to graduate medical education (GME) criteria and interoperability efforts while opposing certain budget neutrality adjustments and the immediate implementation of the sepsis readmissions measure. They advocate for increased transparency in disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments and request that CMS find alternative funding for low wage index hospitals that do not penalize high wage index providers.
