Preproposal - Notice of Intent (CR101)

182-550-2900 - Payment Limits - Inpatient hospital services
182-550-3000 - Payment method
182-550-3840 - Payment adjustment for potentially preventable readmissions Purpose: The agency is repealing WAC 182-550-3840 and reinserting previous rule language regarding 14-day readmissions into WAC 182-550-2900 and 182-550-3000. The agency is making these changes because it has determined that restoring the 14-day readmission rule is the most clinically sound and cost-effective approach to managing readmissions.
