www.va.gov/cbo, under ‘‘Charge Data.’’
Certain of these charges are hereby
updated as described in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of
this notice. These changes are effective

When charges for medical care or
services provided or furnished at VA

regulations, the method for determining
VA’s charges is set forth at 38 CFR
17.101(a)(8).

the same as set forth in a notice
published in the Federal Register on
January 6, 2006 (71 FR 982).
Based on the methodologies set forth
in 38 CFR 17.101, this document
provides an update to acute inpatient
charges based on 2007 Diagnosis
Related Groups (DRGs). Acute inpatient
facility charges by DRGs are set forth in
Table A in the September 28, 2005
Federal Register notice. Table A in the
September 28 notice document is being
replaced by Table A in this notice,
which provides updated charges based
on 2007 DRGs.
Also, this document provides for an
updated skilled nursing facility/subacute inpatient facility all-inclusive per
diem charge that, using the
methodologies set forth in 38 CFR
17.101, is adjusted by a geographic area
factor based on the location where the
care is provided. The skilled nursing
facility/sub-acute inpatient facility per
diem charge is set forth in Table B in the
September 28, 2005 Federal Register
notice. Table B in the September 28
notice document is being replaced by
Table B in this notice, which provides
the updated all-inclusive nationwide
skilled nursing facility/sub-acute
inpatient facility per diem charge.
The charges in this update for acute
inpatient facility and skilled nursing
facility/sub-acute inpatient facility
services are effective October 1, 2006.
In this update, we are retaining the
table designations used for acute
inpatient facility charges by DRGs in the
notice published in the Federal Register
on September 28, 2005 (70 FR 56772).
We also are retaining the table
designation used for skilled nursing
facility/sub-acute inpatient facility
charges in the notice published in the
Federal Register on September 28, 2005
(70 FR 56772). Accordingly, the tables
identified as being updated by this
notice correspond to the applicable
tables published in the September 28
notice, beginning with Table A through
Table B.
We have updated the list of data
sources presented in Supplementary
Table 1 to reflect the updated data
sources used to establish the updated
charges described in this notice.
We have also updated the list of VA
medical facility locations. As a
reminder, in Supplementary Table 3
published in the Federal Register dated
January 6, 2006, we set forth the list of
VA medical facility locations, which
includes their three-digit ZIP Codes and
provider-based/non-provider-based
designations. In accordance with the
final rule, subsequent updates to
Supplementary Table 3 will be posted
on the Internet site of the Veterans
