As explained in Baker Donelson's previous Payment Matters article on the CAA, this legislation included several long-awaited GME policy changes. Notably, the CAA: 1) authorized the distribution of 1,000 new Medicare-funded GME positions (Sec. 126), 2) made statutory changes to modify the way that GME caps are determined for urban and rural hospitals training residents in a rural training track (RTT) program (Sec. 127), and 3) made statutory changes to the determination of per resident amounts (PRAs) and GME caps of hospitals that have hosted a small number of resident rotators for a short duration (Sec. 131). CMS's proposals in the FY 2022 IPPS proposed rule to implement each of these policies are explained in further detail below. Comments are due June 28, 2021.
