Subject: Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services: Medicare Program; CY 2022 Inpatient Hospital Deductible and Hospital and
Extended Care Services Coinsurance Amounts
Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule
promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) entitled Medicare Program; CY 2022 Inpatient Hospital Deductible
and Hospital and Extended Care Services Coinsurance Amounts (RIN: 0938-AU46). We
received the rule on November 16, 2021. It was published in the Federal Register as a notice
on November 17, 2021. 86 Fed. Reg. 64217. The effective date is January 1, 2022.
According to CMS, the notice announces the inpatient hospital deductible and the hospital and
extended care services coinsurance amounts for services furnished in calendar year (CY) 2022
under Medicare's Hospital Insurance Program. CMS stated the Medicare statute specifies the
formulae used to determine these amounts. For CY 2022, CMS calculated the inpatient hospital
deductible will be $1,556. CMS also calculated the daily coinsurance amounts for CY 2022 will
be: $389 for the 61st through 90th day of hospitalization in a benefit period; $778 for lifetime
reserve days; and $194.50 for the 21st through 100th day of extended care services in a skilled
nursing facility in a benefit period.
