FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christine Covie, Office of Medical Benefits and Reimbursement Systems, TRICARE Management Activity, 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 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.
