What it is

1The Medicare INPATIENT acuity benchmark — MS-DRG relative weight (weight_after_cap = final applied weight) + geometric/arithmetic LOS.
2RELATIVE weight only; an ABSOLUTE IPPS dollar payment is NOT computable (the IPPS base operating rate + hospital wage index are NOT loaded).
3Match hospital inpatient charges on MS-DRG, present relative acuity — do NOT quote an absolute Medicare inpatient payment.
4Physically in drug_silver (M-2 envelope sharing) but it is the Medicare inpatient benchmark.
