TRICARE Partial Hospitalization
Programs for Fiscal Year 2013.
DATES: Effective Date: The Fiscal Year
2013 rates contained in this notice are
effective for services on or after October

ADDRESSES: TRICARE Management

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final
rule published in the Federal Register
(FR) 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
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
these final rules were provisions for
updating reimbursement rates for each
federal Fiscal Year. 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 (i.e., this is
the same update factor used for the
inpatient prospective payment system).
For Fiscal Year 2013, the market basket
rate is 2.6 percent. This year, Medicare
applied two reductions to its market
basket amount: (1) A 0.7 percent
reduction for economy-wide
productivity required by section 3401(a)
of the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act (PPACA) which amended
section 1886(b)(3)(B) of the Social
Security Act, and (2) a 0.1 percent point
adjustment as required by section
1886(b)(3)(B)(xii) of the Act as added
and amended by sections 3401 and
10319(a) of the PPACA. These two
reductions do not apply to TRICARE.
Hospitals and units with hospitalspecific rates (hospitals and units with
high TRICARE volume) and regionalspecific rates for psychiatric hospitals
and units with low TRICARE volume
will have their TRICARE rates for Fiscal
Year 2013 updated by 2.6 percent
Partial hospitalization rates for fullday programs also will be updated by
2.6 percent for Fiscal Year 2013. Partial
hospitalization rates for programs of less
than 6 hours (with a minimum of three
hours) will be paid a per diem rate of
75 percent of the rate for a full-day
program.
The cap amount for high-volume
hospitals and units also will be updated
by the 2.6 percent for Fiscal Year 2013.
The beneficiary cost share for lowvolume hospitals and units also will be
updated by the 2.6 percent for Fiscal
Year 2013.
Per 32 CFR 199.14, the same area
wage indexes used for the CHAMPUS
Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG)-based
payment system shall be applied to the
wage portion of the applicable regional
per-diem for each day of the admission.
The wage portion shall be the same as
that used for the CHAMPUS DRG-based
payment system. For wage index values
greater than 1.0, the wage portion of the
regional rate subject to the area wage
adjustment is 68.8 percent for Fiscal
Year 2013. For wage index values less
than or equal to 1.0, the wage portion
of the regional rate subject to the area
wage adjustment is 62 percent.
Additionally, 32 CFR 199.14, requires
that hospital specific and regional perdiems shall be updated by the Medicare
update factor for hospitals and units
exempt from the Medicare prospective
payment system.
The following reflect an update of 2.6
percent for Fiscal Year 2013.

for services rendered on or after October
