Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 244 / Thursday, December 19, 2019 / Notices
this notice, the actual charge amounts at
individual VA medical facilities based
on the methodologies in § 17.101 will be
posted on VA’s Community Care
website at https://www.va.gov/
communitycare/revenue_ops/payer_
rates.asp under the heading
‘‘Reasonable Charges Data Tables’’ and
identified as ‘‘v3.27 Data Tables
(Outpatient and Professional).’’
The list of data sources used for
calculating the actual charge amounts
listed above also will be posted on VA’s
Community Care website under the
heading ‘‘Reasonable Charges Data
Sources’’ and identified as ‘‘Reasonable
Charges v3.27 Data Sources (Outpatient
and Professional) (PDF).’’
Acute inpatient facility charges and
skilled nursing facility/sub-acute
inpatient facility charges remain the
same as set forth in 84 FR 51727
published on September 30, 2019.
We are also updating the list of VA
medical facility locations. The list of VA
medical facility locations, including the
first three digits of their zip codes as
well as provider-based/non-providerbased designations, will be posted on
VA’s Community Care website under
the heading ‘‘VA Medical Facility
Locations’’ and identified as ‘‘v3.27
(Jan20).’’
As indicated in 38 CFR 17.101(m),
when VA provides or furnishes
prescription drugs not administered
during treatment, ‘‘charges billed
separately for such prescription drugs
will consist of the amount that equals
the total of the actual cost to VA for the
drugs and the national average of VA
administrative costs associated with
dispensing the drugs for each
prescription.’’ Section 17.101(m)
includes the methodology for
calculating the national average
administrative cost for prescription drug
charges not administered during
treatment.
VA determines the amount of the
national average administrative cost
annually for the prior fiscal year
(October through September) and then
applies the charge at the start of the next
calendar year. The national average
administrative drug cost for CY 2020 is
$18.38. This change will be posted on
VA’s Community Care website at
https://www.va.gov/
COMMUNITYCARE/revenue_ops/
admin_costs.asp under the heading ‘‘CY
2020 Average Administrative Cost for
Prescriptions.’’
Consistent with § 17.101, the national
average administrative cost, the updated
data, and supplementary tables
