Medicare program; schedule of limits on skilled nursing facility inpatient routine service costs--HFCA. Proposed notice.
This proposed schedule of limits would revise the single Medicare reimbursement limit that was published in the Federal Register (47 FR 42894) on September 29, 1982 insofar as that notice applied to hospital-based skilled nursing facility (SNF) inpatient routine service costs. Separate reimbursement limits for freestanding and hospital-based SNFs are required by the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-369). This notice proposes different cost limit schedules for hospital-based SNFs for cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 1982 and prior to July 1, 1984, and for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 1984. Freestanding SNF cost limits would remain the same as those published in the September 29, 1982 cost limits notice.
