 Medicare Program;
Changes to the Criteria
for Being Classified as an Inpatient
Rehabilitation Facility; Final Rule
This final rule
responds to public comments on the September 9, 2003 proposed
rule, and revises the classification criterion, commonly known as
the 75 percent rule, used to classify a hospital as an
inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF). This final rule also
modifies and expands the medical conditions listed in the
regulatory requirements as well as temporarily lowers the
percentage of patients required to fall within one of the
specified list of medical conditions.
