prepared by organizations under sound
management and accounting practices.
The proposal and supporting data is

indirect cost rates or to prepare the
Government negotiating position if
negotiation of the rates is required
under the contract terms.

Proposed Project: Children’s Hospitals
Graduate Medical Education Payment
Program (CHGME PP) (OMB No. 0915–
0247)—Extension
The CHGME PP was enacted by
Public Law 106–129 and reauthorized
by Public Law 109–307 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, nonchildren’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

Data are collected on the number of

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.
