Report Description:
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) uses area wage indexes to adjust Medicare payments to reflect local labor prices. CMS calculates new wage indexes annually from wage data (wages, wage-related costs, and hours) submitted by hospitals. We selected St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center (the Hospital), in Phoenix, Arizona, for this review because of its potential to significantly affect Medicare payments to many hospitals in its State in Federal fiscal year (FFY) 2019.
