The CHGME PP was enacted by Public Law 106-129 to provide Federal
support for graduate medical education (GME) to freestanding children's
hospitals. This legislation attempts to provide support for GME
comparable to the level of Medicare GME support received by other, non-
children's hospitals. The legislation indicates that eligible
children's hospitals will receive payments for both direct and indirect
medical education. Direct payments are designed to offset the expenses
associated with operating approved graduate medical residency training
programs and indirect payments are designed to compensate hospitals for
expenses associated with the treatment of more severely ill patients
and the additional costs relating to teaching residents in such
programs.
Data are collected on the number of full-time equivalent residents
in applicant children's hospitals' training programs to determine the
amount of direct and indirect medical education payments to be
distributed to participating children's hospitals. Indirect medical
education payments will also be derived from a formula that requires
the reporting of discharges, beds, and case mix index information from
participating children's hospitals. Hospitals will be requested to
submit such information in an annual application. Hospitals will also
be requested to submit data on the number of full-time equivalent
residents a second time during the Federal fiscal year to participate
in the reconciliation payment process.
