The Hospital Payment Monitoring Program (HPMP)

The Hospital Payment Monitoring Program (HPMP) is a nationwide effort by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to protect the Medicare trust fund by ensuring that Medicare pays for services that are reasonable and medically necessary.

The long-term goal of HPMP (formerly known as the Payment Error Prevention Program) is to help inpatient prospective system hospitals prevent payment errors by analyzing data, conducting focused audits, and implementing system changes to ensure payment accuracy. HSAG provides data, education and assistance to hospitals to meet this goal.
