Medicare Readmission Penalties By Hospital, Year 5 Kaiser Health News Medicare Readmission Penalties By Hospital, Year 5 Medicare will apply these readmissions penalties to reimbursements from Oct. 1, 2016, through Sept. 30, 2017, which is the 2017 federal fiscal year (FY2017). This chart shows the penalties for all five years of the program. Maryland hospitals were not penalized because the state has federal permission to set its own Medicare payment rules. Also exempt are certain cancer hospitals, critical access hospitals as well as hospitals dedicated to psychiatry, rehabilitation, long-term care and veterans. Medicare also did not levy penalties against hospitals that had too few cases to be fairly evaluated.
