    • To highlight key changes from the proposed regulations.
    • To inform hospital pharmacy managers about financial implications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of the final Medicare prospective pricing system regulations published in January 1984.
    • Comparison with the proposed regulations from September 1983.
    • Description of the five functions of peer review organizations.

    Main Results:

    • Reduced payments for "outlier" cases and regional standardized payment amounts compared to the proposal.
    • Increased flexibility for hospitals in billing Medicare beneficiaries under specific circumstances.
    • Defined five functions for peer review organizations: admissions, outlier, procedure, DRG validation, and quality review.

    Conclusions:
