be applied to the TRICARE IDME
formula. The new multiplier for the
IDME adjustment factor for TRICARE for
FY 2009 is 1.02.
H. Expansion of the Post Acute Care
Transfer Policy
For FY 2009, TRICARE is adopting
CMS’ expanded post acute care transfer
policy according to CMS’ final rule
published August 19, 2008.
I. Blood Clotting Factor
For FY 2009, TRICARE is adopting
CMS’ payment methodology for blood
clotting factor according to CMS’ final
rule published August 18, 2006.
J. Cost to Charge Ratio
While CMS uses hospital-specific cost
to charge ratios, TRICARE uses a
national cost to charge ratio. For FY
2009, the cost-to-charge ratio used for
the TRICARE DRG-Based Payment
System for acute care hospitals and
neonates will be 0.3726 which is
increased to 0.3796 to account for bad
debts. This shall be used to calculate the
adjusted standardized amounts and to
calculate cost outlier payments, except
for children’s hospitals. For children’s
hospital cost outliers, the cost-to-charge
ratio used is 0.4099.
K. Updated Rates and Weights
The updated rates and weights are
accessible through the Internet at
https://www.tricare.osd.mil under the
sequential headings TRICARE Provider
Information, Rates and Reimbursements,
and DRG Information. Table 1 provides
the ASA rates and Table 2 provides the
DRG weights to be used under the
TRICARE DRG-Based Payment System
during FY 2009 and which is a result of
the changes described above. The
implementing regulations for the
TRICARE/CHAMPUS DRG-Based
Payment System are in 32 CFR Part 199.
