TRICARE Partial Hospitalization
Programs for fiscal year 2006.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The fiscal year 2006

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Christine Covie, Office of Medical
Benefits and Reimbursement Systems,

telephone (303) 676–3841.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final
rule published in the Federal Register
on September 6, 1988, (53 FR 34285) set
forth reimbursement changes that were
effective for all inpatient hospital
admissions in psychiatric hospitals and
exempt psychiatric units occurring on
or after January 1, 1989. The final rule
published in the Federal Register on
July 1, 1993 (58 FR 35–400), set forth
maximum per diem rates for all partial
hospitalization admissions on or after
September 29, 1993. Included in these
final rules were provisions for updating
reimbursement rates for each federal
fiscal year. As stated in the final rules,
each per diem shall be updated by the
Medicare update factor for hospitals and
units exempt from the Medicare
Prospective Payment System. For fiscal
year 2006, Medicare has recommended
a rate of increase of 3.8 percent for
hospitals and units excluded from the
prospective payment system. TRICARE
will adopt this update factor for FY
2006 as the final update factor.
Hospitals and units with hospitalspecific rates (hospitals and units with
high TRICARE volume) and regional
specific rates for psychiatric hospitals
and units with low TRICARE volume
will have their TRICARE rates for FY
2005 updated by 3.8 percent for FY
2006. Partial hospitalization rates for
full day and half day programs will also
be updated by 3.8 percent for FY 2006.
The cap amount for high volume
hospitals and units will also be updated
by the 3.8 percent for FY 2006. The
beneficiary cost-share for low volume
hospitals and units will also be updated
by the 3.8 percent for FY 2006.
Consistent with Medicare, the wage
portion of the regional rate subject to the
area wage adjustment is 71.035 percent
for FY 2006. The following reflect an
