Background Section 508 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) (Pub. L. 108–173) permitted a qualifying hospital to appeal the wage index classification otherwise applicable to the hospital and apply for reclassification to another area of the State in which the hospital was located (or, at the discretion of the Secretary, to an area within a contiguous State). Hospitals were required to submit their applications by February 15, 2004. In the February 13, 2004 Federal Register (69 FR 7340), we published a notice that described our implementation of section 508 of MMA. The Congress limited the reclassifications under section 508 of MMA to a 3-year period beginning April 1, 2004 and ending March 31, 2007. Section 106(a) of the Medicare Improvements and Extension Act, Division B of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (MIEA–TRHCA) (Pub. L. 109–432) extended any geographic reclassification that was set to expire on March 31, 2007 by 6 months until September 30, 2007. In the March 23, 2007 Federal Register (72 FR 13799), we published a notice explaining how we would implement section 106 of MIEA– TRHCA.
