APR-DRG and Exempt Rates for Workers' Compensation/No Fault Psychiatric

The rates published on this psychiatric inpatient schedule are effective for the period January 1, 2010 through October 19, 2010 due to the new psychiatric reimbursement methodology being implemented October 20, 2010. However, due to the delay in the publication of the new methodology, this rate schedule is being extended until the new methodology is implemented.

The basis for these published rates is the January 1, 2009 AP-DRG (pre-reform) rate calculations. Since the prospective rate adjustments included in the rates for the period January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 are not applied to rate periods on or after January 1, 2010, these prospective rate adjustments have been excluded to calculate the January 1, 2010 rates.
