MHA Releases Preliminary Wage Index, Occupational Mix Data For Review
The Missouri Hospital Association released an analysis of the hospital wage index and occupational mix data that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will use to develop the federal fiscal year 2028 Medicare hospital wage index. Hospitals can review their hospital-specific data and submit correction requests and supporting documentation to the Medicare Administrative Contractor through Tuesday, Sept. 1.
MHA previously published an analysis of the preliminary data from the May 22 release. This analysis is based on the July 16 release.
This is the only opportunity to request revisions to your data. Subsequent requests for revisions are limited to mishandling of the data. The files are available for review to authorized users of HIDI Advantage®.
