We show how a New York City provider increased wage indexes for most of the state by more than 10 percentage points by reclassifying itself as a rural hospital.

Join us for a discussion of the wage index calculations, including a case study of how one hospital in New York City was able to reclassify as “rural” and increase 2025 reimbursement in upstate New York by about 10%, after 2025 bids were submitted.

We present our methodology behind an analysis of a provider’s inpatient metrics.
