Medicare program; schedule of limits on hospital per diem inpatient general routine operating cost for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 1981: Health Care Financing Administration.
This notice sets forth a schedule of limits on hospital per diem impatient general routine operating costs that may be reimbursed under Medicare for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 1981. This is an annual update of the schedule, and will replace the current schedule, which was published in the Federal Register on June 20, 1980 (45 FR 41868). This schedule does not apply to the costs of special care units or ancillary services, to capital-related costs or costs of malpractice insurance, or to the costs a hospital allocates to the interns and residents (in approved programs) or nursing school cost centers on its Medicare cost report. The notice explains the methodology we used to compute the revised schedule of limits.
