Medicare program; changes to the hospital inpatient prospective payment systems and fiscal year 1993 rates;
Abstract:
In the September 1, 1992, issue of the Federal Register (FR Doc 92-20647) (57 FR 39746), we revised the Medicare inpatient hospital prospective payment systems for operating costs and capital-related costs. Additionally, in the addendum to that final rule, we described changes in the amounts and factors necessary to determine prospective payment rates for Medicare hospital inpatient services for operating costs and capital-related costs. These changes are applicable to discharges occurring on or after October 1, 1992. This notice corrects errors made in that document.
