【 摘 要 】

In 1983, Congress passed the Social Security Amendments (Public Law 98-21) which mandated an end to cost-reimbursement for Medicare inpatients. This law established the prospective payment system (PPS) for hospital Medicare inpatient reimbursement. PPS is a fixed per-case payment system for patients in 468, now 494, diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) (Office of Technology, 1986).
