Notice. AGENCY: ACTION: This document updates the Cost-Based and Inter-Agency billing rates for medical care or services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnished in certain circumstances. DATES: The rates set forth herein are effective August 28, 2018 and until further notice. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Romona Greene, Office of Community Care, Revenue Operations, Payer Relations and Services, Rates and Charges (10D1C1), Veterans Health Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420, (202) 382–2521. (This is not a toll free number.) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA’s methodology for computing Cost-Based and Inter-Agency rates for medical care or services provided by VA is set forth in 38 CFR 17.102(h). Two sets of rates are obtained by applying this methodology, Cost-Based and InterAgency. In accordance with 38 CFR 17.102(a), (b), (d), and (g) respectively, Cost-Based SUMMARY: rates apply to medical care and services that are provided by VA: • In error or based on tentative eligibility, • In a medical emergency, • To pensioners of allied nations; and • For research purposes in circumstances under which the medical care appropriation shall be reimbursed from the research appropriation. In accordance with 38 CFR 17.102(c) and (f), Inter-Agency rates apply to medical care and services that are provided by VA to beneficiaries of the Department of Defense or other Federal agencies, when the care or services provided is not covered by an applicable sharing agreement, unless otherwise stated. The calculations for the Cost-Based and Inter-Agency rates are the same with two exceptions. Inter-Agency rates are all-inclusive, are not broken down into three components (Physician; Ancillary; and Nursing, Room, and Board), and do not include standard fringe benefit costs that cover Government employee retirement, disability costs, and return on fixed assets. When VA pays for medical care or services from a non-VA source under circumstances in which the Cost-Based or Inter-Agency rates would apply if the care or services had been provided by VA, the charge for such care or services will be the actual amount paid by VA for the care or services. Inpatient charges will be at the per diem rates shown for the type of bed section or discrete treatment unit providing the care. The following table depicts the CostBased and Inter-Agency rates that are effective upon publication of this notice and will remain in effect until the next Federal Register notice is published. These rates supersede those established by the Federal Register notice published on August, 29 2017, at 82 FR 41093. daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES Cost-Based rates A.
