Medicare Wage Index
The Medicare Wage Index has been an important part of the Medicare inpatient prospective payment system for a long time. However, now, the wage index plays an even larger part in the calculation of Medicare payments made to providers. One of the reasons for this is that Medicare rate increases have been very low due to tight federal budgets. This means that a hospital's wage index change from the previous year can determine whether Medicare reimbursement will increase or decrease.

Critical Access Hospitals
A Critical Access Hospital (CAH) is often located in a rural part of the state, and it provides short-term hospital stays when someone has a severe injury or illness, an urgent medical condition, or is recovering from surgery. A freestanding critical access hospital allows for a measured transition toward an integrated multi-service health care facility. CAHs help preserve local health services and the unique qualities of the small town.
