Given the Uninsured program is paid generally at Medicare rates, does reimbursement include the 20% add-on to the Medicare diagnosis related group (DRG) payment for COVID-19 treatment?
No. For the HRSA COVID-19 Uninsured Program, facility reimbursement based on IPPS does not include the 20% increase to the DRG weight for COVID-19 diagnoses U07.1 and B97.29 authorized by Section 3710 of the CARES Act.
