rates for high-volume providers and
regional per diem rates for low volume

high-volume providers; the beneficiary
per diem cost share amount for lowvolume providers for FY 2008 under the

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 FY.
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 2008,
Medicare has recommended a rate of
increase of 3.4 percent for hospitals and
units excluded from the prospective
payment system. TRICARE will adopt
this update factor for FY 2008 as the
final update factor. Hospitals and units
with hospital specific 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 2007 updated by
3.4 percent for FY 2008. Partial
hospitalization rates for full-day and
half-day programs will also be updated
by 3.4 percent for FY 2008. The cap
amount for high-volume hospitals and
units will also be updated by the 3.4
percent for FY 2008. The beneficiary
cost share for low volume hospitals and
units will also be updated by the 3.4
percent for FY 2008.
Consistent with Medicare, the wage
portion of the regional rate subject to the
area wage adjustment is 75.788 percent
for FY 2008. The following reflect an
update of 3.4 percent for FY 2008.
