Over 1,000 teaching hospitals receive IME payments. Because teaching hospitals are not paid directly by Medicare for treating managed care patients, an IME payment is calculated by the hospital submitting a shadow (no-pay) claim to Medicare that is used to calculate the IME payment. Teaching hospitals also receive an IME payment associated with Medicare's capital PPS.
