Comment on CMS-2026-1256-0002
Nebraska Hospital AssociationSupportAdvocacy
Summary: A coalition of state hospital associations is urging CMS to increase the CRNA pass-through procedure cap from 800 to 1,000 procedures in the FY 2027 IPPS final rule. They argue that the current cap is outdated and fails to account for significantly higher rural CRNA compensation costs and changes in procedure classifications, which threatens rural healthcare access and financial sustainability.
