has approved the rates for inpatient and

SUMMARY:
The
Director of the Indian Health Service
(IHS), under the authority of sections
321(a) and 322(b) of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 248 and 249(b)),
Public Law 83–568 (42 U.S.C. 2001(a)),
and the Indian Health Care
Improvement Act (25 U.S.C. 1601 et
seq.), has approved the following rates
for inpatient and outpatient medical
care provided by IHS facilities for
Calendar Year 2021 for Medicare and
Medicaid beneficiaries, beneficiaries of
other federal programs, and for
recoveries under the Federal Medical
Care Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. 2651–
2653). The inpatient rates for Medicare
Part A are excluded from the table
below. That is because Medicare
inpatient payments for IHS hospital
facilities are made based on the
prospective payment system, or (when
IHS facilities are designated as Medicare
Critical Access Hospitals) on a
reasonable cost basis. Since the
inpatient per diem rates set forth below
do not include all physician services
and practitioner services, additional
payment shall be available to the extent
that those services are provided.
