Medicare Program; Prospective Payment System and Consolidated 
Billing for Skilled Nursing Facilities for FY 2006

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), HHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This proposed rule would update the payment rates used under 
the prospective payment system (PPS) for skilled nursing facilities 
(SNFs), for fiscal year (FY) 2006, as required by statute. Annual 
updates to the PPS rates are required by section 1888(e) of the Social 
Security Act (the Act), as amended by the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP 
Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 (BBRA), the Medicare, Medicaid, 
and State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) Benefits 
Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 (BIPA), and the Medicare 
Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA), 
relating to Medicare payments and consolidated billing for SNFs. As 
part of this year's annual update, we are proposing to introduce 
refinements in the Resource Utilization Groups, version III (RUG-III), 
the case-mix classification system used under the SNF PPS.

I. Background

    On July 30, 2004, we published a notice in the Federal Register (69 
FR 45775) that set forth updates to the payment rates used under the 
prospective payment system (PPS) for skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), 
for fiscal year (FY) 2005. Annual updates to the PPS rates are required 
by section 1888(e) of the Social Security Act (the Act), as amended by 
the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 
1999 (the BBRA) and the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits 
Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 (the BIPA), relating to Medicare 
payments and consolidated billing for SNFs.

A. Current System for Payment of Skilled Nursing Facility Services 
Under Part A of the Medicare Program

    Section 4432 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (the BBA) amended 
section 1888 of the Act to provide for the implementation of a per diem 
PPS for SNFs, covering all costs (routine, ancillary, and capital-
related) of covered SNF services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries 
under Part A of the Medicare program, effective for cost reporting 
periods beginning on or after July 1, 1998. In this proposed rule, we 
propose to update the per diem payment rates for SNFs for FY 2006. 
Major elements of the SNF PPS include:
     Rates. Per diem Federal rates were established for urban 
and rural areas using allowable costs from FY 1995 cost reports. These 
rates also included an estimate of the cost of services that, before 
July 1, 1998, had been paid under Part B but were furnished to Medicare 
beneficiaries in a SNF during a Part A covered stay. The rates were 
adjusted annually using a SNF market basket index. Rates were case-mix 
adjusted using a classification system (Resource Utilization Groups, 
version III (RUG-III)) based on beneficiary assessments (using the 
Minimum Data Set (MDS) 2.0). The rates were also adjusted by the 
hospital wage index to account for geographic variation in wages. (In 
section II.C of this preamble, we discuss the wage index adjustment in 
detail.)
    Correction notices were published in the Federal Register on 
October 7, 2004 (69 FR 60158) and on December 30, 2004 (69 FR 78445), 
announcing corrections to several of the wage factors. Additionally, as 
noted in sections I.C through I.E of this proposed rule, section 101 of 
the BBRA, sections 311, 312, and 314 of the BIPA, and section 511 of 
the MMA also affect the payment rate.
     Transition. The SNF PPS included an initial 3-year, phased 
transition that blended a facility-specific payment rate with the 
Federal case-mix adjusted rate. For each cost reporting period after a 
facility migrated to the new system, the facility-specific portion of 
the blend decreased and the Federal portion increased in 25 percentage 
point increments. For most facilities, the facility-specific rate was 
based on allowable costs from FY 1995; however, since the last year of 
the transition was FY 2001, all facilities were paid at the full 
Federal rate by the following fiscal year (FY 2002). Therefore, as 
discussed in section I.F.2 of this proposed rule, we are no longer 
including adjustment

[[Page 29072]]

factors related to facility-specific rates for the coming fiscal year.
     Coverage. The establishment of the SNF PPS did not change 
Medicare's fundamental requirements for SNF coverage. However, because 
RUG-III classification is based, in part, on the beneficiary's need for 
skilled nursing care and therapy, we have attempted, where possible, to 
coordinate claims review procedures involving level of care 
determinations with the outputs of beneficiary assessment and RUG-III 
classifying activities. We discuss this coordination in greater detail 
in section II.F of this preamble. Moreover, the Part A SNF benefit has 
not only level of care requirements, but also a set of technical, or 
``posthospital'' requirements as well. In section VI of this preamble, 
we discuss one aspect of the technical requirement for a qualifying 
prior inpatient hospital stay of at least 3 consecutive days, on which 
we invite comment.
     Consolidated Billing. The SNF PPS includes a consolidated 
billing provision (described in greater detail in section IV of this 
proposed rule) that requires a SNF to submit consolidated Medicare 
bills for almost all of the services that its residents receive during 
the course of a covered Part A stay. (In addition, this provision 
places the Medicare billing responsibility for physical, occupational, 
and speech-language therapy that the resident receives during a 
noncovered stay with the SNF.) The statute excludes from the 
consolidated billing provision a small list of services--primarily 
those of physicians and certain other types of practitioners--which 
remain separately billable to Part B by the outside entity that 
furnishes them.
     Application of the SNF PPS to SNF services furnished by 
swing-bed hospitals. Section 1883 of the Act permits certain small, 
rural hospitals to enter into a Medicare swing-bed agreement, under 
which the hospital can use its beds to provide either acute or SNF 
care, as needed. For critical access hospitals (CAHs), Part A pays on a 
reasonable cost basis for SNF services furnished under a swing-bed 
agreement. However, in accordance with section 1888(e)(7) of the Act, 
those swing-bed SNF services furnished by non-CAH rural hospitals are 
paid under the SNF PPS, effective with cost reporting periods beginning 
on or after July 1, 2002. A more detailed discussion of this provision 
appears in section V of this proposed rule.

B. Requirements of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (the BBA) for 
Updating the Prospective Payment System for Skilled Nursing Facilities

    Section 1888(e)(4)(H) of the Act requires that we publish in the 
Federal Register:
    1. The unadjusted Federal per diem rates to be applied to days of 
covered SNF services furnished during the FY.
    2. The case-mix classification system to be applied with respect to 
these services during the FY.
    3. The factors to be applied in making the area wage adjustment 
with respect to these services.
    In the July 30, 1999 final rule (64 FR 41670), we indicated that we 
would announce any changes to the guidelines for Medicare level of care 
determinations related to modifications in the RUG-III classification 
structure (see section II.F of this proposed rule).
    Along with a number of other revisions discussed later in this 
preamble, this proposed rule provides the annual updates to the Federal 
rates as mandated by the Act.

C. The Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 
1999 (the BBRA)

    There were several provisions in the BBRA that resulted in 
adjustments to the SNF PPS. These provisions were described in detail 
in the final rule that we published in the Federal Register on July 31, 
2000 (65 FR 46770). In particular, section 101 of the BBRA provided for 
a temporary 20 percent increase in the per diem adjusted payment rates 
for 15 specified RUG-III groups (SE3, SE2, SE1, SSC, SSB, SSA, CC2, 
CC1, CB2, CB1, CA2, CA1, RHC, RMC, and RMB). Under the law, this 
temporary increase remains in effect until the later of October 1, 
2000, or the implementation of case-mix refinements in the PPS. A 
discussion of the case-mix refinements that we are proposing to 
implement appears in section II.B of this proposed rule. Section 101 
also included a 4 percent across-the-board increase in the adjusted 
Federal per diem payment rates each year for FYs 2001 and 2002, 
exclusive of the 20 percent increase.
    We included further information on all of the provisions of the 
BBRA that affect the SNF PPS in Program Memoranda A-99-53 and A-99-61 
(December 1999), and Program Memorandum AB-00-18 (March 2000). In 
addition, for swing-bed hospitals with more than 49 (but less than 100) 
beds, section 408 of the BBRA provided for the repeal of certain 
statutory restrictions on length of stay and aggregate payment for 
patient days, effective with the end of the SNF PPS transition period 
described in section 1888(e)(2)(E) of the Act. In the July 31, 2001 
final rule (66 FR 39562), we made conforming changes to the regulations 
in 42 CFR section 413.114(d), effective for services furnished in cost 
reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2002, to reflect 
section 408 of the BBRA.

D. The Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and 
Protection Act of 2000 (the BIPA)

    The BIPA also included several provisions that resulted in 
adjustments to the PPS for SNFs. These provisions were described in 
detail in the final rule that we published in the Federal Register on 
July 31, 2001 (66 FR 39562) as follows:
     Section 203 of the BIPA exempted critical access hospital 
(CAH) swing-beds from the SNF PPS; we included further information on 
this provision in Program Memorandum A-01-09 (January 16, 2001).
     Section 311 of the BIPA eliminated the 1 percent reduction 
in the SNF market basket that the statutory update formula had 
previously specified for FY 2001, and changed the 1 percent reduction 
specified for FYs 2002 and 2003 to a 0.5 percent reduction. As 
discussed in section II.B of this proposed rule, this provision also 
required us to conduct a study of alternative case-mix classification 
systems for the SNF PPS, and to submit a report to the Congress on the 
results of the study.
     Section 312 of the BIPA provided for a temporary 16.66 
percent increase in the nursing component of the case-mix adjusted 
Federal rate for services furnished on or after April 1, 2001, and 
before October 1, 2002. This section also required the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct an audit of SNF nursing staff 
ratios and submit a report to the Congress on whether the temporary 
increase in the nursing component should be continued. GAO issued this 
report (GAO-03-176) in November 2002.
     Section 313 of the BIPA repealed the consolidated billing 
requirement for services (other than physical, occupational, and 
speech-language therapy) furnished to SNF residents during noncovered 
stays, effective January 1, 2001.
     Section 314 of the BIPA adjusted the payment rates for all 
of the 14 rehabilitation RUGs (RUC, RUB, RUA, RVC, RVB, RVA, RHC, RHB, 
RHA, RMC, RMB, RMA, RLB, and RLA), in order to correct an anomaly under 
which the existing payment rates for three

[[Page 29073]]

particular rehabilitation RUGs--RHC, RMC, and RMB--were higher than the 
rates for some other, more intensive rehabilitation RUGs. Under the 
BIPA adjustment, the temporary increase that section 101(a) of the BBRA 
had applied to the RHC, RMC, and RMB rehabilitation RUGs was revised 
from 20 percent to 6.7 percent, and the BIPA adjustment also applied 
this temporary 6.7 percent increase to each of the other 11 
rehabilitation RUGs.
     Section 315 of the BIPA authorized us to establish a 
geographic reclassification procedure that is specific to SNFs, but 
only after collecting the data necessary to establish a SNF wage index 
that is based on wage data from nursing homes.
    We included further information on several of these provisions in 
Program Memorandum A-01-08 (January 16, 2001).

E. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act 
of 2003 (the MMA)

    A provision of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and 
Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) resulted in a further adjustment to the 
PPS for SNFs. Specifically, section 511 of the MMA amended paragraph 
(12) of section 1888(e) of the Act to provide for a temporary 128 
percent increase in the PPS per diem payment for any SNF resident with 
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), effective with services 
furnished on or after October 1, 2004. As discussed in Transmittal 
160 (Change Request 3291, April 30, 2004), this add-
on applies to claims with diagnosis code 042. Like the temporary add-on 
payments created by section 101(a) of the BBRA (as amended by section 
314 of the BIPA), this special AIDS add-on was not intended to remain 
in effect indefinitely. As amended by section 511 of the MMA, section 
1888(e)(12)(B) of the Act specifies that this temporary increase for 
patients with AIDS is to remain in effect only until ``* * * such date 
as the Secretary certifies that there is an appropriate adjustment in 
the case mix * * * to compensate for the increased costs associated 
with [such] residents * * *.'' As discussed elsewhere in this proposed 
rule, we are not proposing at this time to address the issue of such 
certification and, accordingly, the temporary add-on payments created 
by section 511 of the MMA will remain in effect during FY 2006.
    The law further provided that the 128 percent increase in payment 
under the AIDS add-on is to be `` * * * determined without regard to 
any increase'' under section 101 of the BBRA (as amended by section 314 
of the BIPA). As explained in the MMA Conference report, this means 
that if a resident qualifies for the temporary 128 percent increase in 
payment under the special AIDS add-on, ``the BBRA temporary RUG add-on 
does not apply in this case * * *.'' (H.R. Conf. Rep. No. 108-391 at 
662). The AIDS add-on was also discussed in Transmittal 160 
(Change Request 3291), issued on April 30, 2004, which is 
available online at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/manuals/pm_trans/2004/transmittals/comm_date_dsc.asp.
    In addition, section 410 of the MMA contained a provision that 
affects the consolidated billing requirement, which we discuss in 
section IV of this proposed rule.

F. Skilled Nursing Facility Prospective Payment--General Overview

    The Medicare SNF PPS was implemented for cost reporting periods 
beginning on or after July 1, 1998. Under the PPS, we pay SNFs through 
prospective, case-mix adjusted per diem payment rates applicable to all 
covered SNF services. These payment rates cover all the costs of 
furnishing covered skilled nursing services (routine, ancillary, and 
capital-related costs) other than costs associated with approved 
educational activities. Covered SNF services include post-hospital 
services for which benefits are provided under Part A and all items and 
services that, before July 1, 1998, had been paid under Part B (other 
than physician and certain other services specifically excluded under 
the BBA) but furnished to Medicare beneficiaries in a SNF during a 
covered Part A stay. A complete discussion of these provisions appears 
in the May 12, 1998 interim final rule (63 FR 26252).
1. Payment Provisions--Federal Rate
    The PPS uses per diem Federal payment rates based on mean SNF costs 
in a base year updated for inflation to the first effective period of 
the PPS. We developed the Federal payment rates using allowable costs 
from hospital-based and freestanding SNF cost reports for reporting 
periods beginning in FY 1995. The data used in developing the Federal 
rates also incorporated an estimate of the amounts that would be 
payable under Part B for covered SNF services furnished to individuals 
during the course of a covered Part A stay in a SNF.
    In developing the rates for the initial period, we updated costs to 
the first effective year of PPS (the 15-month period beginning July 1, 
1998) using a SNF market basket, and then standardized for the costs of 
facility differences in case-mix and for geographic variations in 
wages. Providers that received new provider exemptions from the routine 
cost limits were excluded from the database used to compute the Federal 
payment rates, as well as costs related to payments for exceptions to 
the routine cost limits. In accordance with the formula prescribed in 
the BBA, we set the Federal rates at a level equal to the weighted mean 
of freestanding costs plus 50 percent of the difference between the 
freestanding mean and weighted mean of all SNF costs (hospital-based 
and freestanding) combined. We computed and applied separately the 
payment rates for facilities located in urban and rural areas. In 
addition, we adjusted the portion of the Federal rate attributable to 
wage-related costs by a wage index.
    The Federal rate also incorporates adjustments to account for 
facility case-mix, using a classification system that accounts for the 
relative resource utilization of different patient types. This 
classification system, Resource Utilization Groups, version III (RUG-
III), uses beneficiary assessment data from the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 
completed by SNFs to assign beneficiaries to one of 44 RUG-III groups. 
The May 12, 1998 interim final rule (63 FR 26252) included a complete 
and detailed description of the RUG-III classification system, and a 
further discussion appears in section II.B of this proposed rule.
    The Federal rates in this proposed rule reflect an update to the 
rates that we published for FY 2005 equal to the full change in the SNF 
market basket index. According to section 1888(e)(4)(E)(ii)(IV) of the 
Act, for FY 2006, we would update the rate by adjusting the current 
rates by the full SNF market basket index.
2. Payment Provisions--Initial Transition Period
    The SNF PPS included an initial, phased transition from a facility-
specific rate (which reflected the individual facility's historical 
cost experience) to the Federal case-mix adjusted rate. The transition 
extended through the facility's first three cost reporting periods 
under the PPS, up to and including the one that began in FY 2001. 
Accordingly, starting with cost reporting periods beginning in FY 2002, 
we base payments entirely on the Federal rates and, as indicated in 
section II.G of this proposed rule, we no longer include adjustment 
factors related to facility-specific rates for the coming fiscal year.

[[Page 29074]]

G. Use of the Skilled Nursing Facility Market Basket Index

    Section 1888(e)(5) of the Act requires us to establish a SNF market 
basket index that reflects changes over time in the prices of an 
appropriate mix of goods and services included in the covered SNF 
services. The SNF market basket index is used to update the Federal 
rates on an annual basis. The final rule published on July 31, 2001 (66 
FR 39562) revised and rebased the market basket to reflect 1997 total 
cost data.
    In addition, as explained in the FY 2004 final rule (68 FR 46058, 
August 4, 2003) and in section III.B of this proposed rule, the annual 
update of the payment rates includes, as appropriate, an adjustment to 
account for market basket forecast error. This adjustment takes into 
account the forecast error from the most recently available fiscal year 
for which there are final data, and is applied whenever the difference 
between the forecasted and actual change in the market basket exceeds a 
0.25 percentage point threshold. For FY 2004 (the most recently 
available fiscal year for which there are final data), the estimated 
increase in the market basket index was 3.0 percentage points, while 
the actual increase was 3.1 percentage points. Therefore, the payment 
rates for FY 2006 do not include a forecast error adjustment, as the 
difference between the estimated and actual amounts of change does not 
exceed the 0.25 percentage point threshold. Table 1 below shows the 
forecasted and actual market basket amounts for FY 2004.

II. Update of Payment Rates Under the Prospective Payment System for 
Skilled Nursing Facilities

A. Federal Prospective Payment System

    This proposed rule sets forth a schedule of Federal prospective 
payment rates applicable to Medicare Part A SNF services beginning 
October 1, 2005. The schedule incorporates per diem Federal rates that 
provide Part A payment for all costs of services furnished to a 
beneficiary in a SNF during a Medicare-covered stay.
1. Costs and Services Covered by the Federal Rates
    The Federal rates apply to all costs (routine, ancillary, and 
capital-related costs) of covered SNF services other than costs 
associated with approved educational activities as defined in Sec.  
413.85. Under section 1888(e)(2) of the Act, covered SNF services 
include post-hospital SNF services for which benefits are provided 
under Part A (the hospital insurance program), as well as all items and 
services (other than those services excluded by statute) that, before 
July 1, 1998, were paid under Part B (the supplementary medical 
insurance program) but furnished to Medicare beneficiaries in a SNF 
during a Part A covered stay. (These excluded service categories are 
discussed in greater detail in section V.B.2 of the May 12, 1998 
interim final rule (63 FR 26295 through 63 FR 26297)).
2. Methodology Used for the Calculation of the Federal Rates
    The proposed FY 2006 rates would reflect an update using the full 
amount of the latest market basket index. The FY 2006 market basket 
increase factor is estimated to be 3.0 percent. Consistent with 
previous years, this factor may be revised in the final rule when later 
forecast data are available. For a complete description of the multi-
step process, see the May 12, 1998 interim final rule (63 FR 26252). We 
note that in accordance with section 101(a) of the BBRA and section 314 
of the BIPA, the existing, temporary increase in the per diem adjusted 
payment rates of 20 percent for certain specified clinically complex 
RUGs (and 6.7 percent for rehabilitation RUGs) remains in effect until 
the implementation of case-mix refinements. (A discussion of the case-
mix refinements that we now propose to implement appears in section 
II.B of this preamble.)
    We used the SNF market basket to adjust each per diem component of 
the Federal rates forward to reflect cost increases occurring between 
the midpoint of the Federal fiscal year beginning October 1, 2004, and 
ending September 30, 2005, and the midpoint of the Federal fiscal year 
beginning October 1, 2005, and ending September 30, 2006, to which the 
payment rates apply. In accordance with section 1888(e)(4)(E)(ii)(IV) 
of the Act, the payment rates for FY 2006 are updated by a factor equal 
to the full market basket index percentage. The rates would be further 
adjusted by a wage index budget neutrality factor, described later in 
this section. The unadjusted rates are the same under both the existing 
44 group RUG classification system and the proposed RUG-53 
classification system. Tables 2 and 3 reflect the updated components of 
the unadjusted Federal rates for FY 2006.

B. Case-Mix Adjustment and Other Clinical Issues

[If you choose to comment on issues in this section, please include the 
caption ``Case-Mix Adjustment and Other Clinical Issues'' at the 
beginning of your comments.]

    Under the BBA, we must publish the SNF PPS case-mix classification 
methodology applicable for the next Federal FY before August 1 of each 
year. As discussed in the following sections, we propose to begin 
utilizing a refinement to the RUG-III case-mix classification system 
applicable to the SNF PPS during FY 2006, and we specifically solicit 
comments on the proposed refinement.
1. Background
    The SNF PPS replaced the cost-based structure that had been in 
effect since the inception of the Medicare program. Under the SNF PPS, 
providers have more flexibility in the use of Medicare funds but are 
responsible not only for furnishing the full range of services to 
Medicare beneficiaries, but for the cost effectiveness of their 
purchasing decisions. Like the inpatient hospital PPS, reimbursement 
for all services, including therapy and other ancillaries such as 
diagnostic tests, supplies, and pharmacy, were for the first time 
included in the SNF Part A ``bundle of services'' and reimbursed 
directly to the SNF rather than to the actual entity furnishing the 
service.
    In addition, in response to over a decade of rapidly rising 
Medicare SNF payments, the SNF PPS instituted controls to adjust for 
identified overutilization and inflated charge structures for therapy 
and other ancillary services. By restructuring the payment system to 
reflect a more appropriate expenditure level, there was an aggregate 
decrease in Medicare expenditure levels for the first SNF PPS year. 
Providers responded to the SNF PPS by restructuring their operations 
and practice patterns in an effort to adapt to the new payment 
structure and incentives.
    These rapid changes in facility practices and Medicare payment also 
generated significant concerns that the transition to a prospective 
payment system would impede access for beneficiaries with complex 
medical needs and, by decreasing aggregate payments to SNFs, negatively 
affect the quality of care in nursing homes across the country. The 
research presented in this proposed rule was initiated as part of a 
broad-based effort to investigate and respond to access, quality, and 
payment concerns raised by industry, advocates, and other stakeholders.
    During the course of this effort, CMS developed tools to monitor 
and evaluate quality of care that are now integral components of our 
program oversight activities, including the use of Quality Indicators, 
Quality Measures, and Nursing Home Compare. As discussed later in this 
section, the development of these new capabilities has also positioned 
us to move forward in new areas. The refinements discussed in this 
section are based on research originally conducted by Abt Associates 
(and later validated by the Urban Institute) that was initiated 
immediately after the introduction of the SNF PPS in 1999.
    In the BBRA, the Congress acted to address these access and quality 
concerns by enacting a series of temporary payment adjustments. At 
present, only one of these payment adjustments is still in effect, a 20 
percent increase in the per diem adjusted payment rates for 12 complex 
medical RUG-III groups (SE3, SE2, SE1, SSC, SSB, SSA, CC2, CC1, CB2, 
CB1, CA2, and CA1,) and a 6.7 percent increase to all 14 rehabilitation 
groups. This legislation specified that the payment adjustments would 
continue until the later of: (1) October 1, 2000, or (2) implementation 
of a refined case-mix classification system under section 
1888(e)(4)(G)(i) of the Act that would better account for medically 
complex patients.
    As we noted in the SNF PPS proposed rule for FY 2001 (65 FR 19190, 
April 10, 2000), this mandated rate increase was intended to serve as a 
temporary, interim adjustment to the payment rates and RUG-III case-mix 
classification system as published in the final rule of July 30, 1999, 
until implementation of the case-mix refinements described in the 
legislation. In that FY 2001 proposed rule, we included a proposal for 
an extensive, comprehensive set of refinements to the existing case-mix 
classification system that collectively would have resulted in 
expanding the existing 44-group structure to well over 150 groups.
    The speed with which we conducted this initial evaluation of the 
SNF PPS demonstrated our commitment to ensuring the accuracy and equity 
of the new payment system, but the evaluation had important 
limitations. Comprehensive SNF PPS data were not yet available, and the 
research was conducted using 1995-1997 data housed in a large, cross-
linked research database collected from only six states that had 
implemented a RUG-III payment system prior to July 1998 (either through 
the Federal case-mix demonstration project or for state Medicaid 
payment). These limitations were explained in the proposed rule along 
with our plans to validate the data using a national SNF PPS database 
(65 FR 19193, April 10, 2000).
    In conducting the validation analyses, it became clear that the 
introduction of the SNF PPS and SNF consolidated billing had caused 
changes in facility practice patterns and billing. Some of these 
changes could also have been related to the use of a national database 
and to changing industry practices during the early stages of the SNF 
PPS implementation. While it was still true that beneficiaries 
requiring both rehabilitation and extensive medical services used 
greater amounts of ancillary services, the distribution patterns for 
those high-cost ancillaries (such as medications and respiratory 
therapy) had changed from the patterns in the six-state data. These 
results, in conjunction with the high degree of intra-group and inter-
group variability in ancillary utilization identified in both the 
initial and validation analyses, raised new questions that needed to be 
addressed prior to implementing refinements. For these reasons, we 
decided not to implement such refinements at that time. (See the FY 
2001 final rule, 65 FR 46773, July 31, 2000.)
    Several months later, the Congress enacted the BIPA. Of the various 
provisions of this legislation that addressed the SNF PPS, one 
directive also addressed the future development of the SNF PPS. 
Specifically, section 311(e) of the BIPA directed us to conduct a study 
of the different systems for categorizing patients in Medicare SNFs in 
a manner that accounts for the

[[Page 29076]]

relative resource utilization of different patient types and to issue a 
report with any appropriate recommendations to the Congress.
    Based upon the broad language describing the purpose of this study, 
and the multi-year timeframe provided for conducting it, we believe 
that the Congress clearly intended for this study to address 
comprehensive changes, by evaluating a number of different 
classification systems and considering the full range of patient types. 
In contrast, since the BBRA specifically ties the duration of its 
temporary payment increases to the implementation of a case-mix 
refinement that would ``better account for medically complex 
patients,'' we believe that even case-mix refinements of a more 
incremental nature would meet this more targeted mandate to better 
account for medically complex patients, and need not await the 
completion of the broader changes envisioned in the BIPA provision.
    Moreover, ongoing analysis of the SNF PPS showed that providers 
have adjusted to it, and that the SNF PPS rates have generally covered 
the cost of care to Medicare beneficiaries. For example, in its March 
2005 report, MedPAC estimated 2005 profit margins for freestanding SNFs 
of 13 percent. In this environment, it is appropriate to reevaluate the 
need for maintaining payment adjustments that were always intended to 
be temporary.
2. Case-Mix Refinement Research

a. Data Sources and Analyses

    In July 2001, we awarded a contract to the Urban Institute (Urban) 
for performance of research to aid us in making refinements to the 
case-mix classification system under section 1888(e)(4)(G)(i) of the 
Act and starting the case-mix study mandated by section 311(e) of the 
BIPA. The first phase of the contract focused on developing options for 
refining the case-mix classification system under section 
1888(e)(4)(G)(i) of the Act to account for medically complex patients. 
As part of this research, Urban updated and broadened the database 
created for the previous refinement analyses by using 1999 matched MDS 
and SNF claims, and applied the latest cost report data (1998 and 1999) 
to estimate costs more accurately for non-therapy ancillary and other 
services.
    We then used this updated and broadened database to replicate and 
validate the earlier studies conducted by Abt. The study used Medicare 
SNF claims data for calendar year 1999 and MDS data from our National 
MDS Repository. We matched the claims to the MDS assessments upon which 
they were based, yielding approximately 2.7 million MDS segments, 
resulting in every national facility that billed Medicare for a Part A 
SNF stay in 1999 being represented in the database. We allocated the 
non-therapy ancillary costs to the portion of the stay in which they 
were most likely to have been incurred according to a set of decision 
rules. We performed comparative analyses of cost and charge data to 
other existing administrative data sets in order to establish the 
validity of these data. We also performed a further regression analysis 
of costs and RUG-III groups.
    In addition, we constructed anew the case-mix indexes using our 
Staff Time Measurement (STM) study data. The STM data were collected in 
1990, 1995, and 1997, and are described in the May 12, 1998 interim 
final rule (63 FR 26252) that implemented the SNF PPS.
    Urban then analyzed 270,215 records, a 10 percent sample of this 
updated and broadened database. As expected, our analyses again 
verified that non-therapy ancillary costs are higher for Medicare 
beneficiaries who classify into the Extensive Services category than 
for those who classify to other categories. In these analyses, Urban 
found that the addition of a combined Rehabilitation plus Extensive 
group improved the predictive power of the model. These results were 
very similar to the preliminary Abt results discussed in our FY 2001 
proposed rule, and provided validation for the preliminary Abt analyses 
(that is, both studies showed an increase in the R-square (explanation 
of variance) for non-therapy ancillaries from approximately 4.1 percent 
in the 44-group model to 8 percent in the 58-group model that added 
nine Rehabilitation plus Extensive groups).
    Urban then replicated its results with 2001 data using the same 
analytic protocols. In this study, Urban found that the addition of a 
new RUG-III Rehabilitation plus Extensive category was consistent with 
the prior research. Urban used a 163,386 record test sample and found 
that the R-square for non-therapy ancillaries improved to 9.5 percent 
from the previous result of 4.1 percent mentioned above. The analyses 
were repeated on a 170,253 record validation sample with a comparable 
result; that is, an R-square of 10.3 percent.
    While maintaining the general structure of the RUG-III system, we 
found that the most viable way to refine the system at the present time 
would be to add groups to the top of the hierarchy to capture 
beneficiaries who qualify for both the Extensive Services category and 
the Rehabilitation Therapy category. In addition, beneficiaries who 
qualify for Extensive Services and receive rehabilitation services have 
assumed a larger percentage of the Medicare patient population in SNFs 
in recent years. Therefore, we believe that the RUG-III case-mix 
classification system can provide even more accurate payment for these 
beneficiaries if refined to create a new RUG-III category for 
beneficiaries who qualify for both the Extensive Services and 
Rehabilitation Therapy categories.

b. Constructing the New RUG-III Groups

    Our research findings showed little or no correlation between the 
groups within the Extensive Services category (that is, SE1, SE2, SE3) 
and the level of rehabilitation services used. For this reason, the 
structure for this new hierarchy level would closely mirror that of the 
existing Rehabilitation Therapy groups. Normally, this methodology 
would result in the creation of 14 new groups, the number that was 
originally proposed in the FY 2001 proposed rule. However, for the 
reasons discussed below, the more recent research (Urban 2003) has 
shown that a smaller number of RUG-III groups are sufficient to address 
the needs of beneficiaries eligible for a new RUG-III category, 
Combined Rehabilitation and Extensive Care.
    First, we found that several of the groups had very few 
beneficiaries assigned to them. In fact, no beneficiaries at all were 
assigned to several of the lowest ADL score rehabilitation groups. 
Second, under the present structure, each Rehabilitation group is sub-
divided into three levels based on the activities of daily living (ADL) 
score. The lowest level ADL score for the Rehabilitation groups is 
either 4-7 or 4-8, and very few beneficiaries currently classify into 
those groups. No beneficiaries who would qualify for the proposed newly 
created groups would classify into such a low ADL score level, as a 
minimum ADL score of seven is required for classification into an 
Extensive Care group.
    Therefore, it appears that stratification for the lowest level ADL 
scores for the proposed new groups would add needless complexity and, 
thus, would not be warranted. Instead, we propose to combine that level 
with the next higher level, and would no longer use the ADL scores 
lower than 7. Thus, the proposed new groups would be stratified only by 
two levels of ADL score. For example, the Rehabilitation High plus 
Extensive Services group would be subdivided into only two ADL levels, 
ADL scores of 7-12 and 13-18. This left us with only

[[Page 29077]]

one level for Rehabilitation Low plus Extensive Services and with only 
two levels at each of the other sub-categories in the new category, for 
a total of 9 new groups. As a result, we are proposing the addition of 
9 new RUG-III groups.

c. Development of the Case-Mix Indexes

    We developed the case-mix indexes for the proposed refined RUG-III 
system using the same method used for calculating the initial SNF PPS 
case-mix indexes. The original staff time studies conducted in 1990, 
1995, and 1997 resulted in the assignment of resident-specific and non-
resident specific time (minutes) to individual SNF residents. In the 
initial determination of the case-mix indexes, the residents were 
classified into the 44-group system and the minutes of staff time, 
nursing, and therapy services, where appropriate, remained associated 
with those residents. All of the staff time was stratified by type of 
staff providing the minutes of time (for example, RN, LPN, etc.), and 
the minutes were weighted for salary.
    In order to calculate weights for the proposed refined system, we 
used the minutes as originally assigned at the individual patient 
level. We reclassified the patients into the proposed 53 groups with 
their associated wage-weighted minutes of resident-specific and 
nonresident-specific staff time. The next step was to apply these wage-
weighted minutes to the entire sample population of 26 million days. We 
multiplied the population in each group by the wage-weighted minutes 
for each of the staff types. We then derived an average for the group 
using the sum of the wage-weighted minutes for all staff (nursing and 
therapy staff minutes were calculated separately) xxdivided by the 
total population for that group. The relative weight was then 
calculated by dividing that average by the average minutes across all 
of the RUG-III groups.
    The nursing weights changed more than the therapy weights, due to 
the redistribution of patients from existing groups to the newly 
created proposed groups. Even though many of the beneficiaries who move 
into one of the proposed new groups are from an existing therapy group, 
the therapy weights are affected only slightly. This is because the 
amount of therapy time does not change significantly between the 
existing groups and the proposed new groups. The therapy groups were 
already narrowly stratified by minutes of therapy provided. The groups' 
weights would be affected only to the extent that the individual 
beneficiaries who are reclassified into one of the proposed new groups 
have unusually high or low minutes of therapy within the specific 
limits. The nursing weights are more affected by the reclassifications, 
as those are based on a much broader scope of possible minute values.
    The therapy weights for the nine proposed Rehabilitation Therapy 
plus Extensive Services groups were identical to those for the 
comparable existing RUG-III rehabilitation therapy groups. Although we 
are capturing increased medical/clinical complexity with the proposed 
new groups, the therapy contribution remains the same as for the 
existing therapy groups. In this way, the Rehabilitation High therapy 
weight is identical to the new Rehabilitation High plus Extensive 
Services sub-category.
    The effect of the increased number of groups and changes in the 
case-mix indexes should be distributional. By this we mean that the 
relative weights assigned to each RUG-III group would shift so that the 
proposed new Rehabilitation plus Extensive groups would have the 
highest relative weights and the weights for other RUG-III groups would 
decrease proportionally.
    The results of applying these methods to index calculation worked 
well and yielded hierarchically sound indexes for all of the groups; 
that is, the indexes for the highest groups in the hierarchy are higher 
than for those below it, and this pattern holds throughout the proposed 
new category.
    The nursing indexes in the new category, as well as in the existing 
rehabilitation category, are naturally more compressed (that is, 
encompass a smaller range) than those in the 44-group RUG-III 
rehabilitation groups. The groups within the new Rehabilitation plus 
Extensive category are more homogeneous than were the rehabilitation 
groups of the 44-group system. By removing the most clinically complex 
cases and better accounting for them by putting them in rehabilitation 
groups of their own, both the resulting proposed new category and the 
remaining rehabilitation category groups would be more homogeneous and, 
therefore, the relative weights for each set of groups would exhibit 
less variance.
    Next, we simulated payments using the existing weights compared to 
the new weights to ensure that the refinement did not result in greater 
or lesser aggregate payments. The simulation results showed an almost 
exact match in payments under both case-mix models. However, the 
proposed new 53-group model did yield a slight decrease (less than 1 
percent) in aggregate Medicare payments. To

remove this minor variance, we then applied a factor of +.02 to 
calibrate the nursing indexes and re-ran the simulation. Using this 
calibration factor of +.02, we are able to ensure absolute parity of 
aggregate payment under the 53-group RUG-III system compared to the 44-
group system.
    Finally, we propose to provide for an additional adjustment to the 
nursing component of the case-mix weights (which includes non-therapy 
ancillary services) for all RUG-53 groups. As discussed further in 
section II.B.3 of this proposed rule, we have reviewed data that show a 
high degree of variability in non-therapy ancillary utilization, not 
only within but across RUG groups. Therefore, we believe that it is 
appropriate to adjust the case-mix weights for all 53 groups (that is, 
the existing 44 RUG-III groups plus the 9 new groups that we are 
proposing to create in this proposed rule) to better account for non-
therapy ancillary variability. We would do this under our authority in 
section 1888(e)(4)(G)(i) of the Act to establish an ``appropriate 
adjustment to account for case mix * * * *''
    In determining the size of this adjustment, we considered not only 
the high degree of variability in non-therapy ancillary costs, but also 
the absence of an outlier policy under the SNF PPS. Accordingly, we 
looked at the outlier pool established under another post-acute care 
PPS, the one for inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) services, 
which is set at 3 percent of aggregate expenditures. For the purpose of 
this refinement, our calculations employed a comparable funding level 
that could be targeted toward payment of non-therapy ancillaries. Based 
on this analysis, we are proposing an increase to the nursing component 
of the case-mix weights (the component that includes non-therapy 
ancillaries) of approximately 8.4 percent, which equates to 
approximately 3 percent of aggregate expenditures under the SNF PPS. 
The final RUG-53 nursing indexes are presented in Tables 4a and 5a. 
Further information regarding this adjustment can be found in section 
II.B.3 of this proposed rule.
3. Proposed Refinements to the Case-Mix Classification System
[If you choose to comment on issues in this section, please include the 
caption ``Proposed Refinements to the Case-Mix Classification System'' 
at the beginning of your comments.]

    We note that, of the various individual refinements that were 
collectively set forth in the FY 2001 proposed rule (65 FR 19194), the 
particular refinement that entailed the least amount of added 
complexity (yet addressed the medically complex patient) involved the 
creation of several additional groups that would comprise a new, 
combined Rehabilitation plus Extensive Services category. As we noted 
in that proposed rule:
    There are * * * a significant number of beneficiaries who would 
classify into the Extensive Services category based on clinical 
conditions but who, because they are also receiving rehabilitation 
services, classify into one of the Rehabilitation groups instead (due 
to the hierarchical logic of the RUG-III classification system). These 
beneficiaries carry with them the same non-therapy ancillary costs 
associated with their complex clinical needs even though they are 
classified into a RUG-III Rehabilitation category. The high costs for 
beneficiaries in the Extensive Services category suggest that the 
payment rate for Extensive Services should be increased. However, 
increasing the payment rate without further adjustments could adversely 
affect provider incentives to provide therapy to beneficiaries 
requiring Extensive Services. Therefore, we expanded the scope of the 
proposed refinement to include new categories for beneficiaries who 
qualify for both Extensive Services and a RUG-III Rehabilitation 
category.
    Further, as our subsequent research (discussed in the previous 
section) confirmed, the creation of a proposed new Rehabilitation plus 
Extensive category would be a means of accounting more accurately for 
the costs of certain medically complex patients, with the added benefit 
of a minimal degree of added complexity. We note that, in the past, 
some support has been expressed for making this particular type of 
modification to the existing case-mix classification system.
    Therefore, we propose to refine the case-mix classification system 
under section 1888(e)(4)(G)(i) of the Act by creating a new, combined 
Rehabilitation plus Extensive category, that better accounts for 
medically complex patients, as required in section 101 of the BBRA. 
Accordingly, the payment rates set forth in this proposed rule reflect 
the use of the refined 53-group RUG classification system that we are 
proposing. The nine groups that we propose to add to the existing RUG-
III system are as follows:

RUX Rehabilitation Ultra High plus Extensive Services, High
RUL Rehabilitation Ultra High plus Extensive Services, Low
RVX Rehabilitation Very High plus Extensive Services, High
RVL Rehabilitation Very High plus Extensive Services, Low
RHX Rehabilitation High plus Extensive Services, High
RHL Rehabilitation High plus Extensive Services, Low
RMX Rehabilitation Medium plus Extensive Services, High
RML Rehabilitation Medium plus Extensive Services, Low
RLX Rehabilitation Low plus Extensive Services

    We note that, like our current proposal, the case-mix refinement 
that we considered in our FY 2001 proposed rule would have reconfigured 
the RUGs themselves, in a general effort to allocate payments more 
accurately under the SNF PPS. However, that earlier proposal also 
included an additional element, which was intended to help ensure more 
accurate allocation of payments specifically with regard to non-therapy 
ancillaries (such as drugs and medications, laboratory services, 
supplies and other equipment). For example, it proposed moving the non-
therapy ancillary costs used in establishing the nursing case-mix 
component of the payment rates to a separate, newly created ``medical 
ancillary'' component (65 FR 19192, April 10, 2000). In addition, it 
suggested a number of possible models, both weighted and unweighted, 
for a new non-therapy ancillary index (65 FR 19248ff). As noted in the 
FY 2001 final rule, these elements ultimately were not adopted when 
subsequent research indicated that their added complexity would 
outweigh their increased predictive power (65 FR 46774, July 31, 2000).
    Following the publication of that final rule, further research in 
this area revealed a high degree of variability in non-therapy 
ancillary utilization, both within and across the various RUG-III 
groups. This finding suggested that using an index model to address 
non-therapy ancillary services might require the creation of such a 
high number of groups as to be impractical.
    In fact, the ability of the SNF PPS to account adequately for non-
therapy ancillary services has been the subject of attention (and a 
focus of our research) since the very inception of the system. When the 
Congress originally enacted the SNF PPS in the BBA, it expressed 
concern in the accompanying legislative history ``* * * that under a 
prospective payment system that includes all services there may be 
incentives to decrease the use of ancillary services' (H. Rep. No. 105-
149 at 1318). Subsequent legislative initiatives, such as the BBRA 
mandate to develop case-mix refinements that better account for

[[Page 29079]]

``medically complex'' patients, and the directive in section 311(d) of 
the BIPA for the GAO to conduct a study of the adequacy of Medicare's 
SNF payment rates, can all be viewed in the context of an ongoing 
Congressional concern in this area.
    For those reasons, and because the data that we have show wide 
variability in non-therapy ancillary utilization within each RUG, we 
believe the refinement that we now propose should include not only a 
reconfiguration of the RUGs that addresses the accuracy of payment 
allocation in general terms, but also an additional element that 
improves the accuracy of payment allocation and accounts more directly 
for cost variations related to non-therapy ancillary services. 
Accordingly, as part of our proposed refinement, we propose to increase 
the case-mix indexes of the existing 44 RUG-III groups (as well as 
those of the nine proposed new Rehabilitation plus Extensive Services 
RUGs), by calculating a percentage increase that would increase 
aggregate payments.
    As noted previously, we have reviewed data that show great 
variability in the ancillary services (such as pharmacy) utilized by 
different SNF residents who are classified into the same RUG-III group. 
For example, two different patients, both classified into the SE3 
group, might utilize markedly different amounts of ancillary services 
for reasons that are not captured within the current RUG-III 
classification methodology. Our data show that the same is true across 
all of the existing 44 RUG-III groups. The addition of the 9 new groups 
does not, in itself, compensate for this discrepancy. Although the SNF 
payment system is designed as a prospective payment system, under which 
SNFs that treat patients grouped into the same clinical condition 
should receive the same base payment, the variability in ancillary 
usage that our data show makes it difficult to account fully for non-
therapy ancillary costs by adjusting the number of groups. Therefore, 
we believe that it is appropriate, considering the data that we have 
available to us, to provide for an adjustment to each RUG case-mix 
weight to account for the variability in non-therapy ancillaries, using 
the authority that we have under section 1888(e)(4)(G)(i) of the Act.
    Additionally, we have found a high degree of variability in non-
therapy ancillaries not only within but across RUG groups. We have 
reviewed data showing that an individual patient who is classified into 
a less intensive RUG may nonetheless be significantly more expensive to 
treat in terms of non-therapy ancillaries than an individual patient in 
a more intensive RUG. The data that we have do not adequately explain 
these discrepancies, and the addition of the 9 new RUGs does not 
eliminate them. Our data show that the same is true across all 44 RUG-
III groups. We note that in creating the SNF PPS, the Congress enacted 
the only PPS legislation in the Medicare program that does not 
establish an outlier policy to capture high variability in resource 
utilization. Therefore, in view of the data that we have available to 
us that demonstrates wide disparities in non-therapy ancillary 
resources consumed by patients both within and across RUG-III groups, 
we believe that it is appropriate to adjust the case-mix weights for 
all 53 groups (that is, the existing 44 RUG-III groups plus the 9 new 
groups that we are proposing to create in this proposed rule) to better 
account for non-therapy ancillary variability. We would do this by 
exercising our authority under section 1888(e)(4)(G)(i) of the Act to 
establish an ``appropriate adjustment to account for case mix,'' in 
order to maintain access and quality of care for heavy-care patients.
    In determining the size of this adjustment, we considered the high 
degree of variability in non-therapy ancillary costs (which was not yet 
known at the time that the BBA and the BBRA were enacted), and the 
absence of an outlier policy under the SNF PPS. Accordingly, we looked 
at the outlier pool established under another PPS for post-acute care, 
the inpatient rehabilitation facility prospective payment system (IRF 
PPS), which is set at 3 percent of aggregate expenditures. For the 
purpose of this refinement, we calculated the SNF dollars needed to 
achieve a comparable funding level that could be targeted towards 
payment of non-therapy ancillaries. Based on this analysis, we are 
proposing an increase to the nursing component of the case-mix weights 
(the component that includes non-therapy ancillaries) of approximately 
8.4 percent, which equates to approximately 3 percent of aggregate 
expenditures under the SNF PPS.
    Moreover, we believe that this type of adjustment can essentially 
serve as a proxy for the non-therapy ancillary index that we proposed 
previously as a means of achieving more appropriate payment for these 
services, without the potential drawbacks of our earlier proposal in 
terms of complexity and addressing variability in utilization. In fact, 
while we are confident that the decision to maintain a relatively small 
number of RUG groups is correct in terms of the overall operation of 
the SNF PPS, it is still true that this number of groups made it 
extremely difficult to distinguish different levels of non-therapy 
ancillary use. The problem may be less severe in other PPSs that use a 
greater number of groups. For example, the IRF PPS was initially 
structured to have 100 groups, and the inpatient hospital PPS (IPPS) 
has over 500 diagnosis-related groups. Similarly, there are over 7,000 
relative value units under the resource-based relative value scale that 
determines the payment rates for physician and other Part B services. 
By contrast, under this proposed rule, there will be only 53 RUGs. By 
definition, then, there will be wider variation in the resource needs 
of patients classified into a particular RUG. We, therefore, believe 
that it is appropriate to provide for a further adjustment to the case-
mix index to compensate for these broad discrepancies.
    We note that we are advancing these proposed changes under our 
authority in section 101(a) of the BBRA to establish case-mix 
refinements, and that the changes we are hereby proposing will 
represent the final adjustments made under this authority. Accordingly, 
any future changes to the case-mix weights or other components of the 
SNF PPS would be accomplished through staff time measures and other 
validated analytical studies.
    As further explained in section II.B.4 of this proposed rule, these 
additional payments would partially offset the expiration of the 
temporary add-on payments that will occur, under the terms of section 
101(c) of the BBRA, upon the implementation of this proposed case-mix 
refinement. We believe that implementing the proposed case-mix 
refinement in this manner will carry out Congressional intent that the 
BBRA's temporary payment add-ons should not continue indefinitely into 
the future, while at the same time ensuring that payments under the SNF 
PPS continue to support the quality of care furnished in this setting.
    Further, the creation of the proposed new Rehabilitation plus 
Extensive Services groups underscores the importance of ensuring the 
accuracy of patient classifications, particularly with regard to those 
categories, such as Extensive Services, that encompass medically 
complex patients. One way to accomplish this could be by ensuring that 
the MDS data used in making such classifications reflect only those 
services that are actually furnished during the SNF stay itself rather 
than during the preadmission period (for example,

[[Page 29080]]

during the prior qualifying hospital stay). In the July 30, 1999 SNF 
PPS final rule (64 FR 41668 through 41669), we noted a public comment 
that questioned the appropriateness of the MDS's 14-day ``look-back'' 
provision in the specific context of the SNF level of care presumption. 
While we made no revisions to the look-back provision at that time, we 
specifically reserved the right to reconsider the continued use of this 
mechanism in the future.
    Subsequent analysis in this area has focused on the four items 
contained in the Special Service section of the MDS (P1a--IV 
medications, suctioning, tracheostomy care, and use of a ventilator/
respirator) that serve to classify residents into Extensive Care, the 
category used for the most medically complex SNF patients under the 
RUG-III classification system. This analysis indicates that the use of 
the look-back provision has caused a significant number of residents to 
classify to the Extensive Services category based solely on services 
(such as intravenous medications) that were furnished exclusively 
during the period before SNF admission. Depending on how such a 
proposal was formulated, it has the potential to reduce overall SNF 
payments by better aligning them with the services actually provided. 
Therefore, we seek comment on the potential savings and other impacts 
of revising the MDS Manual instructions to include only those special 
care treatments and programs (MDS Section P1a) furnished to the 
resident since admission or re-admission to the SNF, similar to the 
requirement for P1b. We anticipate that this change can be accomplished 
through an update to the MDS Manual instructions, and will not involve 
system changes at the facility, State agency, or Federal level.
    In addition, we are inviting comments on other policy options that 
could enhance the accuracy of the payment system and improve the 
quality of care provided to Medicare beneficiaries during an SNF stay, 
without limiting access to post-acute care. For example, we have 
received recommendations to decrease or eliminate the grace day period 
specifically for the 5-day PPS MDS assessment. We invite comments on 
this specific recommendation as well as decreasing or eliminating the 
grace periods associated with all PPS MDS assessments. Another example 
of a possible policy change on which we invite comment would be whether 
it might be appropriate to eliminate the projection of anticipated 
therapy services during the 5-day PPS assessment. We invite comments on 
these and other existing SNF policies that may have an impact on the 
quality of care in this setting.
    In accordance with section 101 of the BBRA, implementing these 
proposed refinements to the case-mix system means that the payment 
rates set forth in this proposed rule would no longer reflect the 
temporary add-ons to the Federal rates for specified RUG-III groups. We 
understand that the expiration of the temporary payment increases, 
provided for in that legislation, results in a significant reduction in 
Medicare's payments between FY 2005 and FY 2006. In fact, MedPAC has 
consistently urged that, until CMS can design a new payment 
methodology, some or all of the temporary add-on payments be retained 
and allocated towards beneficiaries with complex medical needs.
    While this proposed rule sets forth refinements to the existing 
case-mix classification system and RUG-III categories, we are 
soliciting comments on the economic impact of the resulting payment 
changes, as well as their potential impact on beneficiaries' access to 
quality SNF care. We also invite comments on possible ways in which the 
case-mix classification system itself might be further modified to help 
mitigate the effect of the payment changes.
    We note that the expiration of the BBRA add-on payments would not 
necessarily affect the temporary 128 percent increase in the per diem 
adjusted payment rates for SNF residents with AIDS. In enacting that 
temporary increase, the Congress cited past research indicating that 
``* * * AIDS patients have much higher costs than other patients in the 
same resource utilization groups in skilled nursing facilities'' (H. 
Rep. No. 108-178, Part 2, at 221). This underscored the Congress' view 
that AIDS patients are unique among SNF residents in that they incur 
significantly higher care costs than residents with other diagnoses, 
including those who classify to the same RUG-III group. We believe that 
even if a case-mix refinement can meet the BBRA criterion of better 
accounting for the needs of medically complex patients generally, this 
still might not enable the Secretary to certify under section 
1888(e)(12)(B) of the Act ``* * * that there is an appropriate 
adjustment in the case mix * * * to compensate for the increased 
costs'' specifically associated with this particular group of patients. 
Thus, while the implementation of case-mix refinements will trigger the 
expiration of the 20 percent and 6.7 percent add-on payments under 
section 101(a) of the BBRA (as amended by section 314 of the BIPA), 
this may not necessarily be the case for the AIDS add-on payments under 
section 511 of the MMA. Accordingly, pending further examination of 
this issue, we believe that it would be premature at this time for the 
Secretary to make the required certification under section 
1888(e)(12)(B) of the Act with respect to the unique conditions that 
pertain to the care of SNF residents with AIDS. As a result, the 128 
percent add-on payments for SNF residents with AIDS will remain in 
effect during FY 2006.
    The case-mix adjusted payment rates are listed separately for urban 
and rural SNFs for the existing 44 group RUG and proposed RUG-53 
classification systems in Tables 4, 4a, 5, and 5a, with the 
corresponding case-mix index values.
    We also remain committed to our long-term efforts to monitor the 
RUG-III case-mix classification system and to an ongoing effort to 
increase the accuracy and efficiency of the SNF PPS. A series of 
analyses, including the studies used to develop the refinements 
discussed above, will be discussed in a forthcoming report to the 
Congress. In this report, we will discuss the findings and put forth a 
series of next steps that will provide a framework for future progress. 
In addition, we have posted data describing the research conducted by 
ABT and the Urban Institute on our SNF PPS Web site at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/providers/SNF PPS. Commenters may wish to consult this 
material to facilitate a more in depth understanding of the proposals 
contained in this document.
    Moreover, we would like to take this opportunity to discuss our 
thinking related to broader initiatives in this area related to quality 
of care. Through the Nursing Home Quality Initiative, the Long Term 
Care Task Force and other forums for collaborative action, CMS has 
worked with the SNF industry on the development of valid quality 
measures, and a variety of quality improvement efforts focused on 
nursing homes. These efforts and others have resulted in improvements 
in the quality of care, particularly in facilities that adopt a culture 
that promotes quality through continuous quality initiatives (CQI), 
culture change, and other similar programs. Pay for performance is a 
tool that could provide additional support to improve the quality of 
care provided in nursing homes. In this way, we could recognize and 
support the ongoing efforts of nursing homes to improve quality.
    Designing Pay for Performance programs for the SNF setting presents 
some significant issues. While Medicare beneficiaries are the primary 
users of

[[Page 29081]]

SNF services, only a small percentage of these beneficiaries (that is, 
approximately 10 percent) receive services that are reimbursed under 
Medicare Part A. The majority of beneficiaries receive services that 
are reimbursed by multiple payers, including Medicare Part B, Medicaid, 
and private insurance, and that are delivered within different parts of 
a nursing facility. Therefore, it is not enough to change practice 
patterns in just a part of a nursing home (that is, skilled units), as 
Medicare beneficiaries can be placed anywhere in the facility. In 
addition, the focus of the nursing, rehabilitative, and medical 
interventions will typically vary for persons who are receiving short-
term skilled nursing facility services versus those persons who are 
long-term residents in nursing facilities.
    For these reasons, quality measures must be carefully constructed; 
that is, broad-based and designed to effect change across the mix of 
patients residing in the facility. Similarly, we need to consider how 
to design effective incentives; that is, superior performance measured 
against pre-established benchmarks and/or performance improvements.
    In addition, while our efforts to develop the various post-acute 
care PPSs (including the SNF PPS) have generated substantial 
improvements over the preexisting cost-based systems, each of these 
individual systems was developed independently. As a result, we have 
focused on phases of a patient's illness as defined by a specific site 
of service, rather than on the entirety of the post-acute episode from 
the standpoint of the patient rather than the facility. As the various 
provider types (such as SNFs and inpatient rehabilitation facilities 
(IRFs)) provide similar types of services in some cases, and as the 
opportunities to provide similar services in different settings 
increase, we need to investigate a more coordinated approach to payment 
and delivery of post-acute services that focuses on the overall post-
acute episode.
    This could entail a strategy of developing payment policy that is 
as neutral as possible regarding provider and patient decisions about 
the use of particular post-acute services. That is, Medicare should 
provide payments sufficient to ensure that beneficiaries receive high 
quality care in the most appropriate setting, so that admissions and 
any transfers between settings occur only when consistent with good 
care, rather than to generate additional revenues. In order to 
accomplish this objective, we need to collect and compare clinical data 
across different sites of service.
    In fact, in the long run, our ability to compare clinical data 
across care settings is one of the benefits that will be realized as a 
basic component of our interest in the use of standardized electronic 
health records (EHRs) and other steps to promote continuity of care 
across all settings, including nursing homes. It is also important to 
recognize the complexity of the effort, not only in developing an 
integrated assessment tool that is designed using health information 
standards, but in examining the various provider-centric prospective 
payment methodologies and considering patient-centric payment 
approaches that are based on patient characteristics and outcomes. 
MedPAC has recently taken a preliminary look at the challenges in 
improving the coordination of our post-acute care payment methods, and 
suggested that it may be appropriate to explore additional options for 
reimbursing post-acute services. We agree that CMS, in conjunction with 
MedPAC and other stakeholders, should consider a full range of options 
in analyzing our post-acute care payment methods, including the SNF 
PPS.
    We also want to encourage incremental changes that will help us 
build toward these longer-term objectives. For example, several 
automated medical record tools are now available that could allow 
hospitals and SNFs to coordinate discharge planning procedures more 
closely. These tools can be used to ensure communication of a 
standardized data set that can also be used to establish a 
comprehensive SNF care plan. Improved communications may reduce the 
incidence of potentially avoidable re-hospitalizations and other 
negative effects on quality of care that occur when patients are 
transferred to SNFs without a full understanding of their care needs. 
CMS is looking at ways that Medicare providers can use these tools to 
generate timely data to support continuity across settings. We are also 
interested in comments on payment reforms that could promote and reward 
such continuity, and avoid the medical complications and additional 
costs associated with re-hospitalization.
    Some of the ideas discussed here may exceed CMS's current statutory 
authority. However, we believe that it is useful to encourage 
discussion of a broad range of ideas for debate of the relative 
advantages and disadvantages of the various policies affecting this 
important component of the health care sector, to ensure that our 
administrative actions provide maximum support for further steps toward 
higher quality post-acute care. We welcome comments on these and other 
approaches.
4. Implementation Issues
[If you choose to comment on issues in this section, please include the 
caption ``Implementation Issues'' at the beginning of your comments.]

    As noted previously in this proposed rule, the temporary add-on 
payments enacted by section 101(a) of the BBRA expire upon the 
implementation of case-mix refinements. Section 101(c) of the BBRA 
specifies that the actual date on which these temporary add-on payments 
are to expire is ``the later of--(1) October 1, 2000; or (2) the date 
on which the Secretary implements a refined case mix classification 
system under section 1888(e)(4)(G)(i) of the Social Security Act (42 
U.S.C. 1395yy(e)(4)(G)(i)) to better account for medically complex 
patients''. Section 1888(e)(4)(G)(i) of the Act, in turn, specifies 
that the Secretary shall provide for an ``appropriate adjustment'' to 
account for case mix.
    While this proposed rule sets forth proposed updates to the SNF PPS 
payment rates that are to take effect as of October 1, 2005, we 
recognize that adopting the proposed refinements to the case-mix 
classification system will likely entail significant changes for SNFs 
as well as for Medicare contractors. Therefore, in order to allow 
sufficient time for preparation and to ease the transition to the 
proposed refinements, we believe that it would be appropriate under 
section 1888(e)(4)(G)(i) of the Act to make a case-mix adjustment that 
reflects the implementation of the refinements described below.
    Accordingly, from October 1, 2005, through December 31, 2005, we 
propose to make payment based entirely on the existing 44-group RUG-III 
classification system. Beginning on January 1, 2006, we propose to make 
payment based entirely on the proposed new RUG-53 classification 
system. This means that under the terms of section 101(c) of the BBRA, 
the temporary add-on payments for certain designated RUG-III groups 
will expire as of January 1, 2006. We note that the resulting reduction 
in payment will be partially offset by the increase in the RUG case-mix 
indexes, as explained previously in section II.B.3 of this proposed 
rule. We invite comments on all aspects of implementing the proposed 
case-mix refinements, including our plan to defer implementation until 
January 1, 2006.
    Further, along with those matters relating specifically to the 
case-mix classification system, we have identified a number of broader 
clinical issues that

[[Page 29082]]

we are also taking this opportunity to address:
5. Assessment Timeframes
    We would like to take this opportunity to clarify existing 
requirements regarding completion of Other Medicare Required 
Assessments (OMRAs) for beneficiaries reimbursed under the SNF PPS. An 
OMRA is due 8 to 10 days after the cessation of all therapy 
(occupational and physical therapies and speech-language pathology 
services) in all situations where the beneficiary was assigned a 
rehabilitation RUG-III group on the previous assessment.
    The ``last day of therapy'' is the last day on which a therapy 
service was furnished. It is not the day the discharge order for 
therapy was received and/or written on the resident's medical record. 
Therefore, when the last day that therapy was provided falls on a 
Friday, the Saturday and Sunday directly following are counted as days 
1 and 2, respectively, toward the total 8 to 10 days of the OMRA 
window. The same principles apply when the ``midnight rule'' is 
initiated during a beneficiary's Part A SNF stay.
    In addition, in the relatively uncommon situations where a resident 
starts a leave of absence after the therapy services have been 
discontinued and is out of the facility for part of the 8 to 10 day 
period during which the OMRA must be completed, those therapeutic leave 
days are to be counted when determining the OMRA due date. While this 
information is not new, we determined that it would be beneficial to 
clarify and remind the public of these specific issues involving the 
OMRA.
6. SNF Certifications and Recertifications Performed by Nurse 
Practitioners and Clinical Nurse Specialists
[If you choose to comment on issues in this section, please include the 
caption ``SNF Certifications and Recertifications Performed by Nurse 
Practitioners and Clinical Nurse Specialists'' at the beginning of your 
comments.]

    We are taking this opportunity to clarify the requirement for 
physician signature on the certification and recertification of the 
need for SNF care (Sec.  424.20(e)(2)) as it relates to nurse 
practitioners (NPs) and clinical nurse specialists (CNSs). In section 
6028 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, the Congress 
amended section 1814(a)(2) of the Act. As amended, the Act specifies 
that an NP or CNS ``* * * who does not have a direct or indirect 
employment relationship'' with the facility but is working in 
collaboration with a physician may sign the required certification (or 
recertification) for a beneficiary's SNF stay. (Section 1819(b)(6)(A) 
of the Act further specifies that the medical care of each SNF resident 
must be under the supervision of a physician (see also the regulations 
at 42 CFR 483.40(a)(1)).) This provision that bars NPs and CNSs from 
having a direct or indirect employment relationship with a SNF in order 
to sign a certification or recertification of the need for care is very 
restrictive. By contrast, a similar statutory limitation (see section 
1919(b)(6)(A) of the Act) on the delegation of physician tasks in 
Medicaid nursing facilities only bars NPs, CNSs, and physician 
assistants (PAs) from performing delegated tasks if they are actually 
employed by the facility.
    Following the enactment of this legislation, we received numerous 
inquiries asking us to define ``direct'' and ``indirect'' employment 
relationships in greater detail. In the July 26, 1995 final rule (60 FR 
38268), we stated that factors indicating whether a NP or CNS has a 
direct or indirect employment relationship include, but are not limited 
to the following:
     The facility or someone on its medical staff has the 
authority to hire or fire the nurse;
     The facility or someone on its medical staff furnishes the 
equipment or place to work, sets the hours, and pays the nurse by the 
hour, week, or month;
     The facility or someone on its medical staff restricts the 
nurse's ability to work for someone else or provides training and 
requires the nurse to follow instructions.
    We note that the longstanding common law test, as set forth in 
regulations at 20 CFR 404.1005, 404.1007, and 404.1009, continues to 
determine the presence of a direct employment relationship for the 
purposes of this provision. However, numerous inquiries from providers 
and other stakeholders continue to request that we specifically clarify 
the definition of an ``indirect'' employment relationship in those 
situations where no direct employment relationship exists. Accordingly, 
we propose to revise the regulations at Sec.  424.20(e)(2) to identify 
the existence of an indirect employment relationship in terms of the 
type of services that the practitioner performs in the SNF. We note 
that NPs and CNSs who are employed by SNFs not only perform the types 
of delegated physician tasks that are permitted under the long-term 
care facility requirements for participation at 42 CFR 483.40(e), but 
typically perform general nursing services as well. We believe that, 
even in the absence of a direct employment relationship, an SNF that 
has an NP or CNS perform these general nursing services is essentially 
utilizing the NP or CNS in the same manner as it would an employee, so 
that an indirect employment relationship can be considered to exist. 
Accordingly, in situations where there is no direct employment 
relationship between the SNF and the NP or CNS, we propose that an 
indirect employment relationship exists whenever the NP or CNS not only 
performs delegated physician tasks, but also provides nursing services 
under the regulations at 42 CFR 409.21, which include such services 
within the scope of coverage under the Part A SNF benefit. We believe 
that this criterion is appropriate, because there would be a potential 
conflict of interest if an NP or CNS who is engaged in furnishing 
covered Part A nursing services to an SNF's resident were also 
permitted to certify as to that resident's need for Part A SNF care. We 
invite comments on the effects of establishing our proposed distinction 
in this context.
7. Concurrent Therapy
[If you choose to comment on issues in this section, please include the 
caption ``Concurrent Therapy'' at the beginning of your comments.]
    The SNF PPS proposed rule for FY 2002 (66 FR 23991, May 10, 2001) 
included a discussion of concurrent therapy, a practice also known as 
``dovetailing.'' In that discussion, we noted that this practice 
involves a single professional therapist treating more than one 
Medicare beneficiary at a time--in some cases, many more than one 
individual at a time. In contrast to group therapy, in which all 
participants are working on some common skill development, each 
beneficiary who receives concurrent therapy likely is not receiving 
services that relate to those needed by any of the other participants. 
Although the care that each beneficiary receives may be prescribed in 
his or her individual plan of treatment, it may not conform to Medicare 
coverage guidelines; that is, the therapy is not being provided 
individually, and it is unlikely that the services being delivered are 
at the complex skill level required for coverage by Medicare. We 
expressed particular concern over instances in which facility 
management might inappropriately attempt to increase productivity by 
coercing a therapist, against his or her own professional judgment, to 
perform concurrent therapy.

[[Page 29083]]

    In the SNF PPS final rule for FY 2002 (66 FR 39567, July 31, 2001), 
we noted that most of the public comments that we received on this 
discussion urged us to continue to recognize concurrent therapy as 
skilled therapy, and contended that therapists are treating more than 
one beneficiary concurrently only when appropriate. However, others 
indicated that our concerns regarding concurrent therapy were, in fact, 
warranted. They reported that since the implementation of the SNF PPS, 
professional therapists are encountering increased pressure to be more 
productive than they have in the past, including the need to see more 
than one patient at a time, and performing documentation and 
collaboration with other members of the care team as non-reimbursed 
time. In response to the comments, we acknowledged that concurrent 
therapy can have a legitimate place in the spectrum of care options 
available to therapists treating Medicare beneficiaries, as long as its 
use is driven by valid clinical considerations. However, while we 
declined to make any specific policy changes at that time, we 
reiterated that it is inappropriate for a facility to require, as a 
condition of employment, that a therapist agree to treat more than one 
beneficiary at a time in situations where providing treatment in such a 
manner would compromise the therapist's professional judgment. We also 
noted that we might revisit this issue in the future should the need to 
do so arise.
    Since that time, we have continued to encounter reports of 
facilities that attempt to override the therapist's professional 
judgment and have concurrent therapy performed in the absence of valid 
clinical considerations. Accordingly, we believe it is appropriate at 
this time to consider once again whether there is a need to issue 
additional guidelines to preclude the inappropriate provision of 
concurrent therapy. We invite comment on the most effective way to 
prevent the abuse of this practice, and to ensure that concurrent 
therapy is performed only in those instances where it is clinically 
justified.
    We propose to establish an effective date of January 1, 2006, as 
the beginning date for the use of the proposed case-mix refinements. 
Accordingly, from October 1, 2005, through December 31, 2005, we 
propose to make payment based entirely on the existing 44-group RUG-III 
classification system. Tables 4, 5, 6, and 7 reflect the corresponding 
rate information for the existing 44 group RUG-III classification 
system to be used during this time.
    Beginning on January 1, 2006, we propose to make payment based on 
the proposed new RUG-53 classification system (and, thus, would not 
include the add-on payments). Tables 4a, 5a, 6a, and 7a reflect the 
corresponding rate information for the proposed RUG-53 classification 
system.
    Tables 4 and 5 reflect the updated SNF Federal rates for FY 2006 
for the existing 44 group RUG-III classification system. Tables 4a and 
5a reflect the updated SNF Federal rates for FY 2006 for the RUG-53 
classification system. The first nine groups listed in the tables are 
for new Rehabilitation plus Extensive Services groups.

C. Wage Index Adjustment to Federal Rates

    Section 1888(e)(4)(G)(ii) of the Act requires that we adjust the 
Federal rates to account for differences in area wage levels, using a 
wage index that we find appropriate. Since the inception of a PPS for 
SNFs, we have used hospital wage data in developing a wage index to be 
applied to SNFs. We propose to continue that practice for FY 2006, as 
we continue to believe that in the absence of SNF-specific wage data, 
using the hospital wage index is appropriate and reasonable for the SNF 
PPS.
    The wage index adjustment would be applied to the proposed labor-
related portion of the Federal rate, which is 76.087 percent of the 
total rate. This percentage reflects the labor-related relative 
importance for FY 2006. The labor-related relative importance is 
calculated from the SNF market basket, and approximates the labor-
related portion of the total costs after taking into account historical 
and projected price changes between the base year and FY 2006. The 
price proxies that move the different cost categories in the market 
basket do not necessarily change at the same rate, and the relative 
importance captures these changes. Accordingly, the relative importance 
figure more closely reflects the cost share weights for FY 2006 than 
the base year weights from the SNF market basket.
    We calculate the labor-related relative importance for FY 2006 in 
four steps. First, we compute the FY 2006 price index level for the 
total market basket and each cost category of the market basket. 
Second, we calculate a ratio for each cost category by dividing the FY 
2006 price index level for that cost category by the total market 
basket price index level. Third, we determine the FY 2006 relative 
importance for each cost category by multiplying this ratio by the base 
year (FY 1997) weight. Finally, we sum the FY 2006 relative importance 
for each of the labor-related cost categories (wages and salaries, 
employee benefits, nonmedical professional fees, labor-intensive 
services, and capital-related expenses) to produce the FY 2006 labor-
related relative importance. Tables 6 and 7 show the Federal rates by 
labor-related and non-labor-related components for the existing 44 
group RUG classification system. Tables 6a and 7a show the Federal 
rates by labor-related and non-labor-related components for the 
proposed RUG-53 classification system.

    Section 1888(e)(4)(G)(ii) of the Act also requires that we apply 
this wage index in a manner that does not result in aggregate payments 
that are greater or lesser than would otherwise be made in the absence 
of the wage adjustment. For FY 2006 (Federal rates effective October 1, 
2005), we would apply the most recent wage index using the hospital 
wage data, and apply an adjustment to fulfill the budget neutrality 
requirement. This requirement would be met by multiplying each of the 
components of the unadjusted Federal rates by a factor equal to the 
ratio of the volume weighted mean wage adjustment factor (using the 
wage index from the previous year) to the volume weighted mean wage 
adjustment factor, using the wage index for the FY beginning October 1, 
2005. The same volume weights are used in both the numerator and 
denominator and will be derived from 1997 Medicare Provider Analysis 
and Review File (MEDPAR) data. The wage adjustment factor used in this 
calculation is defined as the labor share of the rate component 
multiplied by the wage index plus the non-labor share. The proposed 
budget neutrality factor for this year is 1.0011. However, this may 
change in the final rule. In order to give the public a sense of the 
magnitude of this adjustment, last year's factor was 1.0011.

D. Proposed Area Wage Index

    Section 1888(e)(4)(G)(ii) of the Act requires that we adjust the 
Federal rates to account for differences in area wage levels, using a 
wage index that we find appropriate. Since the inception of a PPS for 
SNFs, we have used hospital wage data in developing a wage index to be 
applied to SNFs. As noted previously, we are proposing to continue that 
practice for FY 2006.
    In our July 30, 2004 update notice, we acknowledged that on June 6, 
2003, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued ``OMB Bulletin 
No.03-04,'' which announced revised definitions for Metropolitan 
Statistical Areas, and new definitions of Micropolitan Statistical 
Areas and Combined Statistical Areas. A copy of the Bulletin may be 
obtained at the following Internet address: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/bulletins/b03-04.html. At that time, we did not propose to apply 
these new definitions known as the Core-Based Statistical Areas 
(CBSAs). After further analysis, we are proposing to use the OMB-
revised definitions to adjust the FY 2006 SNF PPS payment rates. The 
Hospital Inpatient PPS (IPPS) is applying these revised definitions as 
discussed in the August 11, 2004 IPPS final rule (69 FR 49207).
1. Proposed Revision of SNF PPS Geographic Classifications
    As discussed in the May 12, 1998 SNF PPS interim final rule, which 
implemented the SNF PPS (63 FR 26252), in establishing an adjustment 
for area wage levels under Sec.  413.337(a)(ii), the labor-related 
portion of a SNF's Federal prospective payment is adjusted by using an 
appropriate wage index. As set forth in Sec.  413.337(a)(ii), a SNF's 
wage index is determined based on the location of the SNF in an urban 
or rural area as defined in Sec.  412.62(f)(1)(ii) and (f)(1)(iii), 
respectively. In general, an urban area is defined as a Metropolitan 
Statistical Area (MSA) or New England County Metropolitan Area (NECMA) 
as defined by OMB. Under Sec.  412.62(f)(1)(iii), a rural area is 
defined as any area outside of an urban area. The urban and rural area 
geographic classifications defined in Sec.  412.62(f)(1)(ii) and 
(f)(1)(iii), respectively, were used under the IPPS from FYs 1985 
through 2004 (Sec.  412.63(b)), and have been used under the SNF PPS 
since it was implemented for cost reporting periods beginning on or 
after July 1, 1998. The wage index used for the SNF PPS is calculated 
using the IPPS wage index data on the basis of the labor market area in 
which the acute care hospital is located, but without taking into 
account geographic reclassification under sections 1886(d)(8) and 
(d)(10) of the Act. The applicable SNF wage index value is assigned to 
a SNF on the basis of the labor market area in which the SNF is 
geographically located.
    Section 4410 of the BBA provides that for the purposes of section 
1886(d)(3)(E) of the Act, the area wage index applicable to hospitals 
located in an urban area of a State may not be less than the area wage 
index applicable to hospitals located in rural areas in the State. 
Consistent with past SNF policy, we treat this provision, commonly 
referred to as the ``rural floor,'' as applicable to acute inpatient 
hospitals and not SNFs. Therefore, the hospital wage index used for 
SNFs is commonly referred to as ``pre-floor,'' indicating that the 
``rural floor'' provision is not applied.
    The current SNF PPS labor market areas are defined based on the 
definitions of MSAs, Primary MSAs (PMSAs), and NECMAs issued by the OMB 
(commonly referred to collectively as ``MSAs''). These MSA definitions, 
which are discussed in greater detail below, are currently used under 
the SNF PPS and other prospective payment systems such as the long-term 
care hospital PPS (LTCH PPS), the inpatient psychiatric facility PPS 
(IPF PPS), the home health agency PPS (HHA PPS), and the inpatient 
rehabilitation facility PPS (IRF PPS). In the August 11, 2004 IPPS 
final rule (67 FR 49026 through 49034), revised labor market area 
definitions were adopted under Sec.  412.64(b), which were effective 
October 1, 2004 for acute care hospitals. The new standards, CBSAs, 
were announced by OMB in late 2000 and are discussed in greater detail 
below.
2. Current SNF PPS Labor Market Areas Based on MSAs
    As noted above, we currently define labor market areas based on the 
definitions of MSAs, PMSAs, and NECMAs issued by the OMB. The OMB also 
designates Consolidated MSAs (CMSAs). A CMSA is a metropolitan area 
with a population of one million or more, comprising two or more PMSAs 
(identified by their separate economic and social character). For 
purposes of the wage index, we use the PMSAs rather than CMSAs because 
they allow a more precise breakdown of labor costs. If a metropolitan 
area is not designated as part of a PMSA, we use the applicable MSA.
    These different designations use counties as the building blocks 
upon which they are based. Therefore, providers are assigned to either 
an MSA,

[[Page 29091]]

PMSA, or NECMA based on whether the county in which the provider is 
located is part of that area. All of the counties in a State outside a 
designated MSA, PMSA, or NECMA are designated as rural. For the 
purposes of calculating the wage index, we combine all of the counties 
in a State outside a designated MSA, PMSA, or NECMA together to 
calculate the statewide rural wage index for each State.
3. Core-Based Statistical Areas
    The OMB reviews its Metropolitan Area (MA) definitions preceding 
each decennial census. As discussed in the August 11, 2004 IPPS final 
rule (69 FR 49207), in the fall of 1998, the OMB chartered the 
Metropolitan Area Standards Review Committee to examine the MA 
standards and develop recommendations for possible changes to those 
standards. Three notices related to the review of the standards, 
providing an opportunity for public comment on the recommendations of 
the Committee, were published in the Federal Register on the following 
dates: December 21, 1998 (63 FR 70526); October 20, 1999 (64 FR 56628); 
and August 22, 2000 (65 FR 51060).
    In the December 27, 2000 Federal Register (65 FR 82228 through 
82238), the OMB announced its new standards. In that notice, the OMB 
defines a Core-Based Statistical Area (CBSA), beginning in 2003, as ``a 
geographic entity associated with at least one core of 10,000 or more 
population, plus adjacent territory that has a high degree of social 
and economic integration with the core as measured by commuting ties.'' 
The standards designate and define two categories of CBSAs: MSAs and 
Micropolitan Statistical Areas (65 FR 82235).
    According to the OMB, MSAs are based on urbanized areas of 50,000 
or more population, and Micropolitan Statistical Areas (referred to in 
this discussion as Micropolitan Areas) are based on urban clusters of 
at least 10,000 population, but less than 50,000 population. Counties 
that do not fall within CBSAs (either MSAs or Micropolitan Areas) are 
deemed ``Outside CBSAs.'' In the past, the OMB defined MSAs around 
areas with a minimum core population of 50,000, and smaller areas were 
``Outside MSAs.'' On June 6, 2003, the OMB announced the new CBSAs, 
comprised of MSAs and the new Micropolitan Areas based on Census 2000 
data. (A copy of the announcement may be obtained at the following 
Internet address: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/bulletins/fy04/b04-03.html.)
    The new CBSA designations recognize 49 new (urban) MSAs and 565 new 
Micropolitan Areas, and revise the composition of many of the existing 
(urban) MSAs. There are 1,090 counties in MSAs under the new CBSA 
designations (previously, there were 848 counties in MSAs). Of these 
1,090 counties, 737 are in the same MSA as they were before the change 
in designations, 65 are in a different MSA, and 288 were not previously 
designated to any MSA. There are 674 counties in Micropolitan Areas. Of 
these, 41 were previously in an MSA, while 633 were not previously 
designated to an MSA. There are five counties that previously were 
designated to an MSA but are no longer designated to either an MSA or a 
new Micropolitan Area: Carter County, KY; St. James Parish, LA; Kane 
County, UT; Culpepper County, VA; and King George County, VA. For a 
more detailed discussion of the conceptual basis of the new CBSAs, 
refer to the August 11, 2004 IPPS final rule (67 FR 49026 through 
49034).
4. Proposed Revisions to the SNF PPS Labor Market Areas
[If you choose to comment on issues in this section, please include the 
caption ``Proposed Revisions to the SNF PPS Labor Market Areas'' at the 
beginning of your comments.]

    In its June 6, 2003 announcement, the OMB cautioned that these new 
definitions ``should not be used to develop and implement Federal, 
State, and local nonstatistical programs and policies without full 
consideration of the effects of using these definitions for such 
purposes. These areas should not serve as a general-purpose geographic 
framework for nonstatistical activities, and they may or may not be 
suitable for use in program funding formulas.''
    In the SNF PPS update notice for FY 2005 (69 FR 45786, July 30, 
2004), we noted that the recently-published IPPS proposed rule for FY 
2005 had discussed some of the problems and concerns associated with 
using these new definitions, and had invited public comment on them. 
Accordingly, we decided to defer proposing any new labor market 
definitions in the SNF context at that time, in order to allow the 
public sufficient time and opportunity to consider and provide comments 
on this issue. Although the June 30, 2004 update notice also invited 
comments on the possible application of the new definitions to the SNF 
PPS, we received no written comments on the use of the new definitions 
specifically in the SNF context; however, we did receive a few phone 
calls inquiring about the methodology applied in the August 11, 2004 
IPPS final rule (69 FR 49207). We believe that sufficient time has now 
elapsed for interested parties to consider and react to the new OMB 
definitions and, accordingly, we are now proposing to make the changes 
discussed below.
    We have continued to use MSAs to define labor market areas for 
purposes of the wage index. For the SNF prospective payment system, the 
statute provides the Secretary with broad authority to use an 
``appropriate wage index as determined by the Secretary.'' We believe 
MSAs are a reasonable and appropriate proxy for developing geographic 
areas for purposes of adjusting for wage differences in SNF PPS and for 
many of the same reasons stated in the various IPPS rules over the 
years where this issue has been exhaustively examined. We also note 
that MSAs are used to define labor market areas for purposes of the 
wage index for many of the other Medicare payment systems (for example, 
IRF PPS, HHA PPS, and IPF PPS).
    First, historically, Medicare prospective payment systems have 
utilized MA definitions developed by OMB. For example, in discussing 
the adoption of the MSA designation for the IPPS area labor adjustment, 
the IPPS proposed rule for FY 1985 (49 FR 27426, July 3, 1984) stated:
    [i]n administering a national payment system, we must have a 
national classification system built on clear, objective standards. 
Otherwise the program becomes increasingly difficult to administer 
because the distinction between rural and urban hospitals is blurred. 
We believe that the MSA system is the only one that currently meets the 
requirements for use as a classification system in a national payment 
program. The MSA classification system is a statistical standard 
developed for use by Federal agencies in the production, analysis, and 
publication of data on metropolitan areas. The standards have been 
developed with the aim of producing definitions that will be as 
consistent as possible for all MSAs nationwide.
    In addition, in numerous instances, the Congress has recognized 
that the areas developed by OMB may be used for differentiating among 
geographic areas for Medicare payment purposes. For example, in the 
IPPS statutory sections, the Congress defines an ``urban area'' as ``an 
area within a Metropolitan Statistical Area (as defined by the Office 
of Management and Budget) or within such similar area as the Secretary 
has recognized'' (section 1886(d)(2)(D) of the Act). Similarly, in the 
sections of the

[[Page 29092]]

statute governing the guidelines to be used by the Medicare Geographic 
Classification Review Board for purposes of reclassification, the 
Congress directed the Secretary to create guidelines for ``determining 
whether the county in which the hospital is located should be treated 
as being a part of a particular [MSA]'' (sections 1886(d)(10)(A) and 
1886(d)(10)(D)(i)(II) of the Act). Thus, the Congress has accepted and 
ratified the use of MSAs as an inherently rational manner of dividing 
up labor-market areas for purposes of Medicare payments.
    The process used by OMB to develop the MSAs creates geographic 
areas based upon characteristics that we believe also generally reflect 
the characteristics of unified labor market areas. For example, the 
CBSAs reflect a core population plus an adjacent territory that 
reflects a high degree of social and economic integration. This 
integration is measured by commuting ties, thus demonstrating that 
these areas may draw workers from the same general areas. In addition, 
the most recent CBSAs reflect the most up to date information. The OMB 
reviews its MA definitions preceding each decennial census to reflect 
recent population changes, and the CBSAs are based on the Census 2000 
data. Finally, in the context of the IPPS, CMS has reviewed alternative 
methods for determining geographic areas for purposes of the wage 
index, and in each case, has decided to retain the OMB designations 
rather than replace these designations with alternatives.
    Because we believe that we have broad authority to create labor 
market areas, and because we also believe that the OMB's latest MA 
designations accurately reflect the local economies and wage levels of 
the areas in which hospitals are currently located, we are proposing to 
adopt the revised labor market area designations based on the OMB's 
CBSA designations.
    When we implemented the wage index adjustment at Sec.  
413.337(a)(ii) under the SNF PPS in the May 12, 1998 SNF PPS interim 
final rule (63 FR 26252), we explained that the SNF PPS wage index 
adjustment was intended to reflect the relative hospital wage levels in 
the geographic area of the hospital as compared to the national average 
hospital wage level. Because we believe that the OMB's CBSA 
designations based on Census 2000 data reflect the most recent 
available geographic classifications (MA definitions), we are proposing 
to revise the labor market area definitions used under the SNF PPS. 
Specifically, we are proposing to revise the SNF PPS labor market 
definitions based on the OMB's new CBSA designations (as discussed in 
greater detail below) effective for SNF PPS services occurring on or 
after October 1, 2005. Accordingly, we are proposing to revise Sec.  
413.337(a)(ii) to specify that for services furnished on or after 
October 1, 2005, the application of the wage index under the SNF PPS 
would be made on the basis of the location of the facility in an urban 
or rural area as defined in Sec.  412.64(b)(1)(ii)(A) through (C).
    We note that the OMB's new CBSA designations are the same labor 
market area definitions implemented under the IPPS at Sec.  412.64(b), 
which were effective for those hospitals beginning October 1, 2004, as 
discussed in the August 11, 2004 IPPS final rule (69 FR 49026 through 
49034). The similarity between the IPPS and the SNF PPS includes the 
adoption in the initial implementation of the SNF PPS of the same labor 
market area definitions under the SNF PPS that existed under the IPPS 
at that time, as well as the use of acute care hospitals' wage data in 
calculating the SNF PPS wage index. Therefore, we believe that 
proposing to revise the SNF PPS labor market area definitions based on 
OMB's CBSA designations is consistent with our historical practice of 
generally modeling SNF PPS wage index policy after IPPS wage index 
policy.
    Below, we discuss the composition of the proposed SNF PPS labor 
market areas based on the OMB's new CBSA designations.

a. New England MSAs

    As stated above, under the SNF PPS, we currently use NECMAs to 
define labor market areas in New England, because these are county-
based designations rather than the 1990 MSA definitions for New 
England, which used minor civil divisions such as cities and towns. 
Under the current MSA definitions, NECMAs provided more consistency in 
labor market definitions for New England compared with the rest of the 
country, where MSAs are county-based. Under the new CBSAs, the OMB has 
now defined the MSAs and Micropolitan Areas in New England on the basis 
of counties. The OMB also established New England City and Town Areas, 
which are similar to the previous New England MSAs.
    In order to create consistency among all labor market areas and to 
maintain these areas on the basis of counties, we are proposing to use 
the county-based areas for all MSAs in the nation, including those in 
New England. Census 2000 has now defined the New England area based on 
counties, creating a city- and town-based system as an alternative. We 
believe that adopting county-based labor market areas for the entire 
country except those in New England would lead to inconsistencies in 
our designations. Adopting county-based labor market areas for the 
entire country provides consistency and stability in Medicare SNF PPS 
program payment because all of the labor market areas throughout the 
country, including New England, would be defined using the same system 
(that is, counties) rather than different systems in different areas of 
the country, thus minimizing programmatic complexity.
    In addition, we have consistently employed a county-based system 
for New England for precisely that reason: To maintain consistency with 
the labor market definitions used throughout the country. We note that 
this is consistent with the implementation of the CBSA designations 
under the IPPS for New England (see August 11, 2004 (69 FR 49028)). 
Accordingly, under the SNF PPS we are proposing to use the New England 
MSAs as determined under the proposed new CBSA-based labor market area 
definitions in defining the proposed revised SNF PPS labor market 
areas.

b. Metropolitan Divisions

    Under the OMB's new CBSA designations, a Metropolitan Division is a 
county or group of counties within a CBSA that contains a core 
population of at least 2.5 million, representing an employment center, 
plus adjacent counties associated with the main county or counties 
through commuting ties. A county qualifies as a main county if 65 
percent or more of its employed residents work within the county and 
the ratio of the number of jobs located in the county to the number of 
employed residents is at least 0.75 percent. A county qualifies as a 
secondary county if 50 percent or more, but less than 65 percent, of 
its employed residents work within the county and the ratio of the 
number of jobs located in the county to the number of employed 
residents is at least 0.75 percent. After all the main and secondary 
counties are identified and grouped, each additional county that 
already has qualified for inclusion in the MSA falls within the 
Metropolitan Division associated with the main/secondary county or 
counties with which the county at issue has the highest employment 
interchange measure. Counties in a Metropolitan Division must be 
contiguous (see 65 FR 82236).
    As noted above, in the past, the OMB designated CMSAs as 
Metropolitan Areas with a population of one million

[[Page 29093]]

or more and comprised of two or more PMSAs. Under the SNF PPS, we 
currently use the PMSAs rather than CMSAs to define labor market areas 
because they comprise a smaller geographic area with potentially 
varying labor costs due to different local economies. We believe that 
CMSAs may be too large an area to reflect accurately the local labor 
costs of all of the individual SNFs included in that relatively 
``large'' area. Similarly, we believe that Metropolitan Divisions under 
the CBSA designations may be too large an area to reflect accurately 
the local labor costs of all of the individual SNFs included in that 
relatively ``large'' area. Further, Metropolitan Divisions represent 
the closest approximation to PMSAs and, therefore, would most 
accurately maintain our current structuring of the SNF PPS labor market 
areas. Therefore, as implemented under the IPPS (69 FR 49029), we are 
proposing to use the Metropolitan Divisions where applicable (as 
described below) under the proposed new CBSA-based labor market area 
definitions.
    In addition to being comparable to the organization of the labor 
market areas under current MSA designations, we believe that proposing 
to use Metropolitan Divisions where applicable (as described below) 
under the SNF PPS would result in a more accurate adjustment for the 
variation in local labor market areas for SNFs. Specifically, if we 
recognize the relatively ``larger'' CBSA that comprises two or more 
Metropolitan Divisions as an independent labor market area for purposes 
of the wage index, it would be too large and would include the data 
from too many hospitals to compute a wage index that would accurately 
reflect the various local labor costs of all of the individual 
hospitals included in that relatively ``large'' CBSA. By proposing to 
recognize Metropolitan Divisions where applicable (as described below) 
under the proposed new CBSA-based labor market area definitions under 
the SNF PPS, we believe that the local labor costs would be more 
accurately reflected, thereby resulting in a wage index adjustment that 
better reflects the variation in the local labor costs of the local 
economies of the SNFs located in those relatively ``smaller'' areas.
    Under the CBSA designations, there are 11 MSAs containing 
Metropolitan Divisions: Boston; Chicago; Dallas; Detroit; Los Angeles; 
Miami; New York; Philadelphia; San Francisco; Seattle; and Washington, 
D.C. Although these MSAs were also CMSAs under the prior definitions, 
in some cases their areas have been altered. Under the current SNF PPS 
MSA designations, Boston was a single NECMA. Under the proposed CBSA-
based labor market area designations, it would be comprised of 4 
Metropolitan Divisions. Los Angeles would go from 4 PMSAs under the 
current SNF PPS MSA designations to 2 Metropolitan Divisions under the 
proposed CBSA-based labor market area designations. The New York CMSA 
would go from 15 PMSAs under the current SNF PPS MSA designations to 
only 4 Metropolitan Divisions under the proposed CBSA-based labor 
market area designations. Five PMSAs in Connecticut under the current 
SNF PPS MSA designations would become separate MSAs under the proposed 
CBSA-based labor market area designations. The number of PMSAs in New 
Jersey, under the current SNF PPS MSA designations would go from 5 to 
2, with the consolidation of 2 New Jersey PMSAs (Bergen-Passaic and 
Jersey City) into the New York-Wayne-White Plains, NY-NJ Division, 
under the proposed CBSA-based labor market area designations. In San 
Francisco, under the proposed CBSA-based labor market area designations 
there are only 2 Divisions. Currently, there are 6 PMSAs, some of which 
are now separate MSAs under the current SNF PPS labor market area 
designations.
    Under the current SNF PPS labor market area designations, 
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Houston, Milwaukee, Portland, 
Sacramento, and San Juan are all designated as CMSAs, but would no 
longer be designated as CMSAs under the proposed CBSA-based labor 
market area designations. As noted previously, the population threshold 
to be designated a CMSA under the current SNF PPS labor market area 
designations is one million. In most of these cases, counties currently 
in a PMSA would become a separate, independent MSA under the proposed 
CBSA-based labor market area designations, leaving only the MSA for the 
core area under the proposed CBSA-based labor market area designations.

c. Micropolitan Areas

    Under the OMB's new CBSA designations, Micropolitan Areas are 
essentially a third area definition consisting primarily of areas that 
are currently rural, but also include some or all of areas that are 
currently designated as urban MSAs. As discussed in greater detail in 
the August 11, 2004 IPPS final rule (69 FR 49029 through 49032), how 
these areas are treated would have significant impacts on the 
calculation and application of the wage index. Specifically, whether or 
not Micropolitan Areas are included as part of the respective statewide 
rural wage indexes would affect the value of the Statewide rural wage 
index of any State that contains a Micropolitan Area. A hospital's 
classification as urban or rural affects which hospitals' wage data are 
included in the statewide rural wage index. As discussed above in 
section II.D.3, we combine all of the counties in a State outside a 
designated urban area to calculate the statewide rural wage index for 
each State.
    Micropolitan Areas included as part of the statewide rural labor 
market area would result in an increase to the statewide rural wage 
index because hospitals located in those Micropolitan Areas typically 
have higher labor costs than other rural hospitals in the State. 
Alternatively, as discussed in greater detail below, if Micropolitan 
Areas would be recognized as independent labor market areas, because 
there would be so few hospitals in those areas to complete a wage 
index, the wage indexes for SNFs in those areas could become relatively 
unstable as they would change considerably from year to year.
    We currently use MSAs to define urban labor market areas and group 
all of the hospitals in counties within each State that are not 
assigned to an MSA into a statewide rural labor market area. Therefore, 
we used the terms ``urban'' and ``rural'' wage indexes in the past for 
ease of reference. However, the introduction of Micropolitan Areas by 
the OMB potentially complicates this terminology because these areas 
include many hospitals that are currently included in the statewide 
rural labor market areas.
    We are proposing to treat Micropolitan Areas as rural labor market 
areas under the SNF PPS for the reasons outlined below. That is, 
counties that are assigned to a Micropolitan area under the CBSA 
designations would be treated the same as other ``rural'' counties that 
are not assigned to either an MSA (Metropolitan Area) or a Micropolitan 
Area. Therefore, in determining an SNF's applicable wage index (based 
on IPPS hospital wage index data, as discussed in greater detail below 
in section II.D.6 of this preamble), we propose that a SNF in a 
Micropolitan Area under the OMB's CBSA designations would be classified 
as ``rural'' and would be assigned the statewide rural wage index for 
the State in which it resides.
    In the August 11, 2004 IPPS final rule (69 FR 49029 through 49032), 
we discussed the impact of treating Micropolitan areas as part of the 
statewide rural labor market area instead of treating Micropolitan 
Areas as

[[Page 29094]]

independent labor market areas for hospitals paid under the IPPS. As 
discussed in greater detail in that same final rule, Micropolitan Areas 
encompass smaller populations than MSAs and tend to include fewer 
hospitals per Micropolitan Area.
    Thus, since Micropolitan Areas tend to include fewer hospitals, 
recognizing Micropolitan Areas as independent labor market areas would 
generally increase the potential for dramatic shifts in those areas' 
wage indexes from one year to the next, because a single hospital (or 
group of hospitals) could have a disproportionate effect on the wage 
index of the area. Dramatic shifts in an area's wage index from year to 
year are problematic and create instability in the payment levels from 
year to year, which could make fiscal planning for SNFs difficult if we 
adopted this approach. Therefore, in order to minimize the potential 
instability in payment levels from year to year, we believe it would be 
appropriate to treat Micropolitan Areas as part of the statewide rural 
labor market area under the SNF PPS.
    Consistent with the treatment of these areas under the IPPS, we are 
proposing that Micropolitan Areas be considered a part of the Statewide 
rural labor market area. Accordingly, we are proposing that the SNF PPS 
Statewide rural wage index would be determined using acute-care IPPS 
hospital wage data from hospitals located in non-MSA areas and that the 
Statewide rural wage index would be assigned to SNFs located in those 
areas.
    When the revised labor market areas based on the OMB's new CBSA 
designations were adopted under the IPPS beginning on October 1, 2004, 
a transition to the new designations was established due to the scope 
and magnitude of the change, in order to mitigate the resulting adverse 
impact on certain hospitals. As discussed in the August 11, 2004 IPPS 
final rule (69 FR 49032), during FY 2005, a blend of wage indexes is 
calculated for those acute care IPPS hospitals experiencing a drop in 
their wage indexes because of the adoption of the new labor market 
areas. Also, as described in that same final rule (69 FR 49032), under 
the IPPS, hospitals that previously had been located in an urban MSA 
but became rural under the new CBSA definitions are assigned the wage 
index value of the urban area to which they belonged previously, for 3 
years (FYs 2005 through FYs 2007).
    We recognize that SNFs will be subject to the same impact as 
hospitals, and that some SNFs may experience decreases in their wage 
index as a result of the proposed labor market area changes. At the 
same time, a significant number of SNFs will benefit from these 
proposed changes. However, as explained below, we are not proposing a 
transition period in this proposed rule.
5. Implementation of the Revised Labor Market Areas
    Under section 1888(e)(4)(G)(ii) of the Act, the Secretary has the 
authority to adjust for geographic variations in labor costs by using 
an appropriate wage index. Moreover, the adjustment must be made in a 
manner such that aggregate payments would not change if such adjustment 
were not made.
    To facilitate an understanding of the proposed policies related to 
the proposed change to the SNF PPS labor market areas discussed above, 
in Table A (MSA/CBSA Crosswalk) of the Addendum of this proposed rule, 
we are providing a listing of each Social Security Administration (SSA) 
State and county location code; State and county name; existing MSA-
based labor market area designation; MSA-based wage index value; CBSA-
based labor market area; and the new CBSA-based wage index value.
    When the revised labor market areas based on OMB's new CBSA 
designations were adopted under the IPPS beginning on October 1, 2004, 
a transition to the new designations was established due to the scope 
and fiscal impact of these new boundaries. As discussed in the IPPS 
final rule (69 FR 49032), during FY 2005, a blend of wage indexes is 
calculated for those acute care IPPS hospitals experiencing a drop in 
their wage indexes because of the adoption of the new labor market 
areas. The most significant impacts will generally be for MSA-based 
urban hospitals that were designated as rural under the CBSA-based 
designations.
    Because the former MSA-based labor market areas used under the IPPS 
had been used for payment for over 10 years, we believed it was 
necessary to provide additional protection, given the scope and 
potentially significant implications (and the subsequent adverse 
impact) of these new labor market areas on numerous acute-care 
hospitals. Therefore, we implemented a transition under the IPPS from 
the former MSA-based labor market area designation to the new CBSA-
based labor market area designation for acute-care hospitals that would 
receive a lower wage index as a result of the change in the labor 
market area designations.
    As we recognize that SNFs may experience similar changes in their 
wage indexes as a result of the proposed labor market area changes, we 
carefully evaluated the impact of the conversion to the proposed wage 
index structure. During our analysis, we found that a majority of SNFs 
(61 percent) either maintained the same wage index or would get an 
increased wage index based on CBSA definitions. Only a very small 
number of SNFs (4 percent) would experience a decline of 5 percent or 
more in the wage index based on CBSA designations. We also found that 
only a very small number of SNFs would experience a change in either 
rural or urban designation under the CBSA based definitions. 
Furthermore, we believe the new CBSA definitions may have a positive 
impact on many counties. For example, most counties which had been 
included in the rural definitions under the MSA designations but are 
now designated as urban areas under CBSAs will generally receive an 
increase in their wage index.
    Although a majority of SNFs would not be significantly affected, 
and we believe that it is not appropriate or necessary to propose a 
transition to the proposed new CBSA-based labor market areas for the 
purpose of the SNF PPS wage index, we recognize that there are many 
options in efficiently implementing the new CBSA geographic 
designations. Thus, we considered several budget neutral options that 
would most effectively implement the adoption of the proposed CBSA 
designations as discussed below.
    One option we considered institutes a one-year transition with a 
blended wage index for all providers. The wage index for each provider 
would consist of a blend of 50 percent of the FY 2006 MSA-based wage 
index and 50 percent of the FY 2006 CBSA-based wage index (both based 
on the FY 2002 hospital wage data). However, we found that while this 
would help some SNFs that would be adversely affected by the proposed 
changes to the MSAs, it would also reduce the wage index values 
(compared to fully adopting the CBSA wage index value) for those SNFs 
that would be positively affected by the changes. In addition, the 
budget neutrality factor calculated based on the blended wage index for 
all SNFs would slightly reduce the unadjusted payment rate for all 
providers.
    A second option we considered was a one-year transition with a 
blended wage index limited to providers that would experience a 
decrease due solely to the changes in the labor market definitions. 
Providers that experience a decrease in their FY 2006 wage index under 
the CBSA-based definitions compared to the wage index they would have 
received under the MSA-based definitions (in both cases using FY 2002 
hospital wage data) would receive a blended wage

[[Page 29095]]

index. The wage index for these providers would consist of a blend of 
50 percent of the FY 2006 MSA wage index and 50 percent of the FY 2006 
CBSA wage index (both based on the FY 2002 hospital wage data). 
Providers that would experience a decrease due to changes in the labor 
market definitions would receive the full FY 2006 CBSA wage index.
    When we performed our analysis, we found that the unadjusted 
payment amounts decreased substantially more under this option than 
they did either by using the first option discussed above or by fully 
adopting the CBSA designations. As with the first option, the positive 
impact of blending in order to decrease the impacts for a relatively 
small number of SNFs would require reduced payment rates for all 
providers, including the SNFs receiving a blended wage index.
    We also recognize that during FY 2005, as discussed in the August 
11, 2004 IPPS final rule (69 FR 49032), a hold harmless policy under 
IPPS was implemented to minimize the overall impact on hospitals that 
are currently designated as urban under the MSA designations, but would 
become rural under the CBSA designations. We considered adopting a hold 
harmless policy for SNFs, to allow facilities that are currently urban 
under the MSA definitions (but become rural under the CBSA definitions) 
to maintain their urban status under the CBSA definitions for one year. 
However, our analysis shows that only an extremely small number of SNFs 
would qualify for such a hold harmless policy. As any adjustment 
requires payments to be made in a budget neutral manner, all providers 
would have the payment rates reduced for the benefit of that small 
number of SNFs (1.4 percent) which lose their urban designations. 
Accordingly, we do not believe it is appropriate or necessary to adopt 
a hold harmless policy under the SNF PPS for facilities that will 
experience a change in designation under the CBSA definitions.
    We are proposing to adopt for the SNF PPS the new CBSA-based labor 
market area definitions beginning with the 2006 SNF PPS rate year 
without a transition period and without a hold harmless policy. We also 
note that OMB in the past has announced MSA changes on an annual basis 
due to population changes and we have not transitioned these changes 
under the SNF PPS.
    As noted previously, our data analysis shows that a minimal number 
of SNFs would experience a decrease of more than 5 percent in the wage 
index. In addition, under the CBSA designation, an even smaller number 
of SNFs would experience a change from their current urban or rural 
designation. Therefore, the aggregate impact on SNFs under the MSA-
based designations as compared to the CBSA-based designations does not 
result in a dramatic change overall.
    As explained above, we believe that it is not appropriate or 
necessary to propose a transition to the proposed new CBSA-based labor 
market area for the SNF PPS wage index adjustment. In addition, as 
noted above, we believe the data suggest that the potential benefit of 
a hold harmless policy for an extremely small number of providers would 
be outweighed by the resulting decrease in payment rates for all 
providers. However, we specifically invite public comments on our 
proposed approach, as well as on the various transition options 
discussed above.
    Finally, we note that section 505 of the MMA established new 
section 1886(d)(13) of the Act. The new section 1886(d)(13) requires 
that the Secretary establish a process to make adjustments to the 
hospital wage index based on commuting patterns of hospital employees. 
We believe that this requirement for an ``out-commuting'' or ``out-
migration'' adjustment applies specifically to the Hospital Inpatient 
Prospective Payment System. Therefore, we will not be establishing such 
an adjustment for the SNF PPS.
6. Wage Index Data
[If you choose to comment on issues in this section, please include the 
caption ``Wage Index Data'' at the beginning of your comments.]

    In the FY 2005 SNF PPS update notice (69 FR 45775, July 30, 2004), 
we established SNF PPS wage index values for the 2005 SNF PPS rate year 
calculated from the same data (generated in cost reporting periods 
beginning during FY 2001) used to compute the FY 2005 acute care 
hospital inpatient wage index data, without taking into account 
geographic reclassification under sections 1886(d)(8) and 1886(d)(10) 
of the Act and without applying the ``rural floor'' under section 4410 
of the BBA. We subsequently published correction notices to update the 
wage index values. The SNF wage index values applicable for services 
furnished on or after October 1, 2004 through August 31, 2005 are shown 
in Table 8 (for urban areas) and Table 9 (for rural areas) in the 
December 30, 2004 correction notice (69 FR 78445).
    Acute care hospital inpatient wage index data is also used to 
establish the wage index adjustment used in the LTCH PPS, IPF PPS, HHA 
PPS, and IRF PPS. As we discussed in the May 12, 1998 SNF PPS interim 
final rule (63 FR 26252), as hospitals that are excluded from the IPPS 
are not required to provide wage-related information on the Medicare 
cost report, and because we would need to establish instructions for 
the collection of these SNF data in order to establish a geographic 
reclassification adjustment under the SNF PPS, the wage adjustment 
established under the SNF PPS is based on a SNF's actual location 
without regard to the urban or rural designation of any related or 
affiliated provider.
    In this proposed rule, for the FY 2006 SNF PPS rate year, we 
propose to use acute care hospital inpatient wage index data generated 
from cost reporting periods beginning during FY 2002 (without taking 
into account geographic reclassification under sections 1886(d)(8) and 
1886(d)(10) of the Act and without applying the ``rural floor'' under 
section 4410 of the BBA) to determine the applicable wage index values 
under the SNF PPS, because these data (FY 2002) are the most recent 
complete data. We realize that there has been some interest in 
developing a SNF-specific wage index. However, considering the impact 
of converting to the new OMB classification methodology discussed 
above, we believe a second major change would be inappropriate at this 
time. In making this decision, one of our primary concerns is that the 
combined effect of changing both the wage area categories and the 
actual wage index could result in an inaccurate impact assessment for 
one or both of these changes. As discussed in several of the previous 
SNF PPS rules, we also remain concerned about the potential volatility 
and unreliability of unaudited data (see, for example, the final rule 
for FY 2002 (66 FR 39579 through 39596, July 31, 2001), and the final 
rule for FY 2004 (68 FR 46045 through 46046, August 3, 2003)).
    We are proposing to adopt OMB's new labor market designations for 
CY 2006, effective January 1, 2006. In adopting the CBSA designations, 
we identified some geographic areas where there were no hospitals, and 
thus no hospital wage index data on which to base the calculation of 
the FY 2006 SNF PPS proposed wage index. In addressing this situation, 
we are proposing approaches that we believe serve as proxies for 
hospital wage data and would provide an appropriate standard that 
accounts for geographic variation in labor costs.
    The first situation involves rural locations in Massachusetts and 
Puerto Rico. Under these labor market areas, there are no rural 
hospitals in those

[[Page 29096]]

locations. Because there is no reasonable proxy for more recent rural 
data within those areas, we are proposing to use last year's wage index 
value for rural Massachusetts and rural Puerto Rico.
    The second situation has to do with the urban areas of Hinesville, 
GA (CBSA 25980) and Mansfield, OH (CBSA 31900). Again, under the 
proposed new labor market areas there are no urban hospitals within 
those areas. We propose to use all of the urban areas within the State 
to serve as a reasonable proxy for the urban areas without specific 
hospital wage index data in determining the SNF PPS wage index. 
Therefore, in this proposed rule, we calculated the urban wage index 
value for purposes of the wage index for these areas without urban 
hospital data as the average wage index for all urban areas within the 
State. We note that we could not apply a similar averaging in rural 
areas, because in the rural areas there are no State rural hospital 
wage data available for averaging on a State-wide basis. We solicit 
comments on these approaches to calculating the wage index values for 
areas without hospitals for FY 2006 and subsequent years.
    The proposed wage index values that would be applicable for SNF PPS 
services furnished on or after October 1, 2005 through August 31, 2006 
are shown in Tables 8 and 9 in the Addendum of this proposed rule.

E. Updates to the Federal Rates

    In accordance with section 1888(e)(4)(E) of the Act and section 311 
of the BIPA, the proposed payment rates listed here reflect a proposed 
update equal to the full SNF market basket, estimated at 3.0 percentage 
points. We will continue to disseminate the rates, wage index, and 
case-mix classification methodology through the Federal Register before 
August 1 preceding the start of each succeeding fiscal year. We discuss 
the Federal rate update factor in greater detail in section III.C of 
this preamble.

F. Relationship of RUG-III Classification System to Existing Skilled 
Nursing Facility Level-of-Care Criteria

    As discussed in Sec.  413.345, we include in each update of the 
Federal payment rates in the Federal Register the designation of those 
specific RUGs under the classification system that represent the 
required SNF level of care, as provided in Sec.  409.30. This 
designation reflects an administrative presumption under the current 
44-group RUG-III classification system. Our presumption is that any 
beneficiary who is correctly assigned to one of the upper 26 RUG-III 
groups in the initial 5-day, Medicare-required assessment is 
automatically classified as meeting the SNF level of care definition up 
to the assessment reference date for that assessment.
    Any beneficiary assigned to any of the lower 18 groups is not 
automatically classified as either meeting or not meeting the 
definition, but instead receives an individual level of care 
determination using the existing administrative criteria. This 
presumption recognizes the strong likelihood that beneficiaries 
assigned to one of the upper 26 groups during the immediate post-
hospital period require a covered level of care, which would be 
significantly less likely for those beneficiaries assigned to one of 
the lower 18 groups.
    As discussed in section II.B of this preamble, we propose to refine 
the existing 44-group RUG-III classification system by adding an 
additional 9 groups, comprising a new Rehabilitation plus Extensive 
Services category. In effect, the groups in this new category would 
encompass care that is at least as intensive as that identified by any 
of the upper 26 RUG-III groups under the original, 44-group RUG-III 
classification system. Accordingly, for purposes of the administrative 
presumption, we propose to designate the upper 35 groups of the 
proposed 53-group refined case-mix classification system (including the 
upper 26 groups that we have identified as representing a covered level 
of care under the existing 44-group system, plus the additional 9 
groups set forth in this proposed rule), consisting of the following 
RUG classifications: All groups within the proposed new Rehabilitation 
plus Extensive Services category; all groups within the Ultra High 
Rehabilitation category; all groups within the Very High Rehabilitation 
category; all groups within the High Rehabilitation category; all 
groups within the Medium Rehabilitation category; all groups within the 
Low Rehabilitation category; all groups within the Extensive Services 
category; all groups within the Special Care category; and, all groups 
within the Clinically Complex category.

G. Initial 3-Year Transition Period From Facility Specific to Federal 
Rates

    As noted previously in section I.A and section I.F.2 of this 
proposed rule, the PPS is no longer operating under the initial 3-year 
transition period from facility-specific to Federal rates. Therefore, 
payment now equals the adjusted Federal per diem rate.

H. Example of Computation of Adjusted PPS Rates and SNF Payment

    As explained in section II.B of this proposed rule, from October 1, 
2005, through December 31, 2005, we propose to make payment based 
entirely on the existing 44-group RUG-III classification system 
(including any associated add-on payments). Using the model SNF (XYZ) 
described in Table 10, the following shows the adjustments made to the 
Federal per diem rate to compute the provider's actual per diem PPS for 
the time period mentioned above using the existing 44 group RUG-III 
classification system.

    Beginning January 1, 2006, we propose to make payment based on the 
proposed new RUG-53 classification system (and, thus, would not include 
the add-on payments). Table 10a shows an example of the actual per diem 
PPS payments under the RUG-53 classification system.

III. The Skilled Nursing Facility Market Basket Index

    Section 1888(e)(5)(A) of the Act requires us to establish a SNF 
market basket index (input price index) that reflects changes over time 
in the prices of an appropriate mix of goods and services included in 
the SNF PPS. This proposed rule incorporates the latest available 
projections of the SNF market basket index. The final rule will 
incorporate updated projections based on the latest available 
projections at that time. Accordingly, we have developed a SNF market 
basket index that encompasses the most commonly used cost categories 
for SNF routine services, ancillary services, and capital-related 
expenses. In the July 31, 2001 Federal Register (66 FR 39562), we 
included a complete discussion on the rebasing of the SNF market basket 
to FY 1997. There are 21 separate cost categories and respective price 
proxies. These cost categories were illustrated in Table 10.A, Table 
10.B, and Appendix A, along with other relevant information, in the 
July 31, 2001 Federal Register.
    Each year, we calculate a revised labor-related share based on the 
relative importance of labor-related cost categories in the input price 
index. Table 11 summarizes the proposed updated labor-related share for 
FY 2006.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Use of the Skilled Nursing Facility Market Basket Percentage

    Section 1888(e)(5)(B) of the Act defines the SNF market basket 
percentage as the percentage change in the SNF market basket index, as 
described in the previous section, from the average index level of the 
prior fiscal year to the average index level of the current fiscal 
year. For the Federal rates established in this proposed rule, this 
percentage increase in the SNF market basket index would be used to 
compute the update factor occurring between FY 2005 and FY 2006. We 
used the Global Insight, Inc. (formerly DRI-WEFA), 1st quarter 2005 
forecasted percentage increase in the FY 1997-based SNF market basket 
index for routine, ancillary, and capital-related expenses, described 
in the previous section, to compute the update factor. Finally, we no 
longer compute update factors to adjust a facility-specific portion of 
the SNF PPS rates, because the 3-year transition period from facility-
specific to full Federal rates that started with cost reporting periods 
beginning in July 1998 has expired.

B. Market Basket Forecast Error Adjustment

    As discussed in the June 10, 2003, supplemental proposed rule (68 
FR 34768) and finalized in the August 4, 2003, final rule (68 FR 
46067), the regulations at Sec.  413.337(d)(2) provide for an 
adjustment to account for market basket forecast error. The initial 
adjustment applied to the update of the FY 2003 rate that occurred in 
FY 2004, and took into account the cumulative forecast error for the 
period from FY 2000 through FY 2002. Subsequent adjustments in 
succeeding FYs take into account the forecast error from the most 
recently available fiscal year for which there are final data, and are 
applied whenever the difference between the forecasted and actual 
change in the market basket exceeds a 0.25 percentage point threshold. 
As discussed previously in section I.G of this proposed rule, as the 
difference between the estimated and actual amounts of increase in the 
market basket index for FY 2004 (the most recently available fiscal 
year for which there are final data) did not exceed the 0.25 percentage 
point threshold, the payment rates for FY 2006 do not include a 
forecast error adjustment.

C. Federal Rate Update Factor

    Section 1888(e)(4)(E)(ii)(IV) of the Act requires that the update 
factor used to establish the FY 2006 Federal rates be at a level equal 
to the full market basket percentage change. Accordingly, to establish 
the update factor, we determined the total growth from the average 
market basket level for the period of October 1, 2004 through September 
30, 2005 to the average market basket level for the period of October 
1, 2005 through September 30, 2006. Using this process, the proposed 
update factor for FY 2006 SNF Federal rates is 3.0 percentage points. 
We used this revised proposed update factor to compute the proposed 
Federal portion of the SNF PPS rate shown in Tables 2 and 3.

IV. Consolidated Billing

    As established by section 4432(b) of the BBA, the consolidated 
billing requirement places with the SNF the

[[Page 29098]]

Medicare billing responsibility for virtually all of the services that 
the SNF's residents receive, except for a small number of services that 
the statute specifically identifies as being excluded from this 
provision. Section 103 of the BBRA amended this provision by further 
excluding a number of high-cost, low probability services (identified 
by Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes) within 
several broader categories that otherwise remained subject to the 
provision. Section 313 of the BIPA further amended this provision by 
repealing its Part B aspect; that is, its applicability to services 
furnished to a resident during a SNF stay that Medicare does not cover. 
(However, physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy remain 
subject to consolidated billing, regardless of whether the resident who 
receives these services is in a covered Part A stay.)
    Further, while the services of rural health clinics (RHCs) and 
Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) generally are subject to SNF 
consolidated billing, section 410 of the MMA provided that when an RHC 
or FQHC furnishes the services of a physician (or another type of 
service that section 1888(e)(2)(A)(ii) of the Act identifies as being 
excluded from SNF consolidated billing), those services do not become 
subject to consolidated billing merely by virtue of being furnished 
under the auspices of the RHC or FQHC. In effect, this provision (which 
applies to services furnished on or after January 1, 2005) enables 
those services to retain their separate identity as excluded 
``practitioner'' services in this context, rather than being treated as 
bundled ``RHC'' or ``FQHC'' services. As such, these services would 
remain separately billable to Part B when furnished to a resident of 
the SNF during a covered Part A stay.
    To date, the Congress has enacted no further legislation affecting 
the consolidated billing provision. However, as we noted in the 
proposed rule of April 10, 2000 (65 FR 19232), section 
1888(e)(2)(A)(iii) of the Act, as added by section 103 of the BBRA, not 
only identified for exclusion from this provision a number of 
particular service codes within four specified categories (that is, 
chemotherapy items, chemotherapy administration services, radioisotope 
services, and customized prosthetic devices), but `` * * * also gives 
the Secretary the authority to designate additional, individual 
services for exclusion within each of the specified service 
categories.'' In that proposed rule, we also noted that the BBRA 
Conference report (H.R. Conf. Rep. No. 106-479 at 854) characterizes 
the individual services that this legislation targets for exclusion as 
``* * * high-cost, low probability events that could have devastating 
financial impacts because their costs far exceed the payment [SNFs] 
receive under the prospective payment system * * *'' According to the 
conferees, section 103(a) ``is an attempt to exclude from the PPS 
certain services and costly items that are provided infrequently in 
SNFs * * *.'' By contrast, we noted that the Congress declined to 
designate for exclusion any of the remaining services within those four 
categories (thus leaving all of those services subject to SNF 
consolidated billing), because they are relatively inexpensive and are 
furnished routinely in SNFs.
    As we further explained in the final rule of July 31, 2000 (65 FR 
46790), any additional service codes that we might designate for 
exclusion under our discretionary authority must meet the same criteria 
that the Congress used in identifying the original codes excluded from 
consolidated billing under section 103(a) of the BBRA: They must fall 
within one of the four service categories specified in the BBRA, and 
they also must meet the same standards of high cost and low probability 
in the SNF setting. Accordingly, we characterized this statutory 
authority to identify additional service codes for exclusion ``* * * as 
essentially affording the flexibility to revise the list of excluded 
codes in response to changes of major significance that may occur over 
time (for example, the development of new medical technologies or other 
advances in the state of medical practice)'' (65 FR 46791). In view of 
the amount of time that has elapsed since we last invited comments on 
this issue, we believe it is appropriate at this point once again to 
invite public comments that identify codes in any of these four service 
categories representing recent medical advances that might meet the 
BBRA criteria for exclusion from SNF consolidated billing.
    We note that the original BBRA legislation (as well as the 
implementing regulations) identified a set of excluded services by 
means of specifying HCPCS codes that were in effect as of a particular 
date (for example July 1, 1999). Identifying the excluded services in 
this manner made it possible for us to utilize a Program Memorandum as 
the vehicle for accomplishing routine updates of the excluded codes, in 
order to reflect any minor revisions that might subsequently occur in 
the coding system itself (for example, the assignment of a different 
code number to the same service). Accordingly, for any new services 
that would actually represent a substantive change in the scope of 
services that are excluded from the SNF consolidated billing provision, 
we would identify these additional excluded services by means of the 
HCPCS codes that are in effect as of a specific date (in this case, 
October 1, 2005). By making any new exclusions in this manner, we could 
similarly accomplish routine future updates of these additional codes 
through the issuance of program instructions.

V. Application of the SNF PPS to SNF Services Furnished by Swing-Bed 
Hospitals

    In accordance with section 1888(e)(7) of the Act (as amended by 
section 203 of the BIPA), Part A pays critical access hospitals (CAHs) 
on a reasonable cost basis for SNF services furnished under a swing-bed 
agreement. However, as noted previously in section I.A of this notice, 
the services furnished by non-CAH rural hospitals are paid under the 
SNF PPS. In the July 31, 2001 final rule (66 FR 39562), we announced 
the conversion of swing-bed rural hospitals to the SNF PPS, effective 
with the start of the provider's first cost reporting period beginning 
on or after July 1, 2002. We selected this date consistent with the 
statutory provision to integrate swing-bed rural hospitals into the SNF 
PPS by the end of the SNF transition period, June 30, 2002.
    As of June 30, 2003, all swing-bed rural hospitals have come under 
the SNF PPS. Therefore, all rates and wage indexes outlined in earlier 
sections of this notice for SNF PPS also apply to all swing-bed rural 
hospitals. A complete discussion of assessment schedules, the MDS, and 
the transmission software (Raven-SB for Swing Beds) can be found in the 
July 31, 2001 final rule (66 FR 39562). The latest changes in the MDS 
for swing-bed rural hospitals are listed on our SNF PPS Web site, 
http://www.cms.hhs.gov/providers/snfpps/default.asp.

VI. Qualifying Three-Day Inpatient Hospital Stay Requirement

    As indicated in section I.A of this proposed rule, the SNF benefit 
includes not only level of care requirements, but also a set of 
technical, or ``posthospital'' eligibility requirements as well. These 
requirements date back to the original Medicare legislation (section 
102(a) of the Social Security Amendments of 1965, Public Law 89-97), 
when the Congress defined the intended scope of this benefit. The SNF 
benefit was never intended to cover long-term, relatively low-level 
``custodial'' care; rather, the Congress envisioned this benefit more

[[Page 29099]]

narrowly, in terms of serving as a less expensive alternative to what 
would otherwise be the final, convalescent portion of an acute care 
stay of several days as an inpatient at a hospital. In order to target 
the SNF benefit more effectively at the limited segment of the nursing 
home population that the benefit was actually designed to cover (that 
is, those beneficiaries requiring a short-term, fairly intensive stay 
in a SNF as a continuation of an acute hospital stay of several days), 
the Congress established as a prerequisite for SNF coverage a 
requirement that a beneficiary must first be a hospital inpatient for 
``not less than 3 consecutive days before his discharge from the 
hospital'' (section 1861(i) of the Act). From the very inception of the 
Medicare program, in determining the three-day inpatient requirement 
for purposes of triggering the SNF benefit, ``inpatient'' status has 
been determined as commencing with ``the calendar day of admission'' to 
the hospital (see 20 CFR Sec.  405.120 (1966)). The current guidelines 
in the CMS Internet Online Manual (IOM) at Publication 100-02 (Medicare 
Benefit Policy Manual), Chapter 8 (Coverage of Extended Care (SNF) 
Services Under Hospital Insurance), Sec.  20.1 (Three-Day Prior 
Hospitalization) reflect this determination.
    More recently, it has been suggested that because of changes in 
hospital admission practices that have occurred since the Congress 
enacted this provision in 1965, some patients who at that time would 
have been a hospital inpatient for at least 3 days are instead now 
placed in observation status initially, before being formally admitted 
as a hospital inpatient. Observation status is a distinct service that 
is discussed in the IOM in Publication 100-02 (Medicare Benefit Policy 
Manual), Chapter 6 (Hospital Services Covered Under Part B), Sec.  70.4 
(Outpatient Observation Services), in which a patient who needs more 
care than can be provided in an emergency room is moved from the 
emergency room, placed in a hospital bed in the appropriate hospital 
unit, and monitored by the unit nursing and physician staff. We 
recognize that coverage of observation services under the outpatient 
prospective payment system is connected to patients with three specific 
diagnoses: chest pain, asthma, and congestive heart failure.
    However, as we noted previously, the longstanding policy 
interpretation of the SNF benefit's prior hospital stay requirement 
does not count hospital observation time that immediately precedes an 
inpatient admission toward meeting the requirement. We have received 
occasional inquiries about the effect of this policy on those 
beneficiaries who would be able to satisfy the SNF benefit's 3-day 
hospital stay requirement only if time spent in observation status 
immediately prior to the formal inpatient admission were counted. These 
inquiries assert that in such situations, the care furnished during 
observation may be indistinguishable from the inpatient care that 
follows the formal admission, so that the beneficiaries themselves 
often learn of the difference only after they were transferred to the 
SNF and failed to meet the SNF benefit's prior hospital stay 
requirement. The inquirers argue that it is unfair to deny SNF coverage 
to such a beneficiary based solely on what they characterize as a mere 
recordkeeping convention on the part of the hospital rather than a 
substantive change in the actual care that the beneficiary receives 
there.
    We note that the current SNF benefit policy (which counts only time 
following the formal inpatient admission to the hospital toward meeting 
the qualifying hospital stay requirement) is based directly on the 
applicable portion of the Medicare law at section 1861(i) of the Act, 
which defines the SNF benefit's qualifying hospital stay as one in 
which the beneficiary ``* * * was an inpatient for not less than 3 
consecutive days * * *'' (emphasis added). An inpatient is a person who 
has been admitted to a hospital for bed occupancy for purposes of 
receiving inpatient hospital services as defined in section 1861 of the 
Act. Moreover, although at the time that this provision was enacted, 
the concept of observation status itself was not yet even envisioned, 
to date, the Congress has not chosen to amend section 1861(i) of the 
Act specifically to reflect use of observation time as triggering the 
SNF benefit. However, we are aware that over time, practice and 
treatment of observation time may have changed; thus, the effect of not 
counting this observation time under the existing policy ultimately 
might be to restrict SNF coverage to a narrower segment of the 
beneficiary population than the Congress originally intended.
    Accordingly, with regard to those beneficiaries whose formal 
admission to the hospital as an inpatient is immediately preceded by 
time spent in hospital observation status, we invite comments on 
whether we should consider the possibility of counting the time spent 
in observation status toward meeting the SNF benefit's qualifying 3-day 
hospital stay requirement. We note that in evaluating the potential 
impact of such a change, it is necessary not only to consider its 
effect on those beneficiaries who might not otherwise be able to meet 
the SNF benefit's prior qualifying hospital stay requirement, but also 
to assess potential negative consequences. Possible examples could 
include altering the nature of the SNF benefit in a manner that is 
inconsistent with Congressional intent in establishing this 
requirement, or creating a ``woodwork effect'' of unanticipated 
consequences, such as routine placement of patients in observation 
status prior to formal admission, even in situations where observation 
is not appropriate.
    In soliciting these comments, moreover, we wish to distinguish the 
possible use of observation time from time spent in the hospital's 
emergency room. Although both observation services and emergency room 
services are directed at patients who are expected to spend only a 
short period of time in that service area, they are in many other ways 
dissimilar. Other than for patients with scheduled admissions, the 
emergency room generally serves as the hospital's overall point of 
entry, irrespective of the degree of severity of a particular patient's 
condition; thus, many hospital patients typically would commence their 
hospital encounter by spending at least some time initially in the 
emergency room. However, the time in the emergency room is not 
considered a substitute for or equivalent to inpatient hospital care. 
Clearly, many visits to the ER are for treatment of problems requiring 
no inpatient hospitalization (for example, most wounds, broken or 
sprained limbs, or minor respiratory illnesses) and often patients come 
to the ER because their regular physician is unavailable. Situations 
involving observation status, however, tend to be relatively infrequent 
compared to the care of all patients that present to the hospital (for 
example, excessive bleeding or complications during surgery 
necessitating a longer-than-normal recovery period, or non-specific 
significant abdominal pain). Further, as emergency room services 
typically represent the patient's initial medical encounter for new or 
worsening symptoms, such services focus on identifying, managing, and 
stabilizing the patient's acute condition. By contrast, observation 
services are furnished to a patient for whom there is already at least 
a working diagnosis, and involve ongoing assessment and short-term 
treatment that is specifically directed at that condition so that a 
subsequent determination about

[[Page 29100]]

hospital admission or discharge can be made. (With respect to 
continuing assessment and treatment, observation services would appear 
to share some common elements with inpatient care, although the latter 
involves a condition that is expected to require care for a 
significantly longer duration, and that also may well require medical 
intervention at a level of complexity that does not occur on an 
outpatient basis.)
    We recognize that, under section 1886(a) of the Act, the statute 
defines ``operating costs of inpatient hospital services'' as including 
the costs of certain services furnished prior to a patient's admission 
to the hospital. That is, the costs of certain services furnished prior 
to an individual's admission as an inpatient are deemed by statute to 
be operating costs of inpatient hospital services. However, it is worth 
noting that section 1886(a) addresses costs, and neither section 
1886(a) nor section 1861(i) provides that a patient be deemed an 
inpatient during the time prior to admission for purposes of the 3-day 
requirement for SNF coverage. Moreover, the deeming requirement in 
section 1886(a) and the 3-day requirement for SNF coverage in section 
1861(i) serve different purposes. The deeming requirement in section 
1886(a) was intended to prevent hospitals from ``unbundling'' services 
from the inpatient stay and inappropriately seeking separate payment. 
See 59 FR 1654, 1656 (Jan. 12, 1994). That consideration does not apply 
in the context of SNF coverage. As discussed above, the purpose of the 
3-day inpatient stay requirement for SNF coverage is to target SNF 
coverage to individuals requiring a short-term, fairly intensive stay 
in a SNF as a continuation of an acute hospital stay. The Congress 
chose to target SNF coverage to individuals who had been inpatients for 
at least 3 consecutive days; the Congress could have chosen a shorter 
time, or it could have specified that certain time before admission 
must be counted for purposes of the 3-day requirement, but it did not. 
Given the differences in statutory language and statutory purpose, we 
believe the requirement in section 1886(a) of the Act (to treat certain 
preadmission costs as inpatient costs) is consistent with not counting 
time spent in the hospital prior to an individual's inpatient admission 
as inpatient time, for purposes of the 3-day requirement for SNF 
coverage under section 1861(i) of the Act.

VII. Provisions of the Proposed Rule

    In this proposed rule, we propose to make the following revision to 
the existing text of the regulations:
     We would revise the regulations at Sec.  424.20(e)(2), 
regarding the performance of SNF certifications and recertifications by 
NPs and CNSs, to clarify the distinction between ``direct'' and 
``indirect'' employment relationships. We would also make a minor 
technical correction in the definition of ``HCPCS'' that appears in 
Sec.  424.3.

VIII. Collection of Information Requirements

    This document does not impose information collection and 
recordkeeping requirements. Consequently, it need not be reviewed by 
the Office of Management and Budget under the authority of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

IX. Regulatory Impact Analysis

A. Overall Impact

    We have examined the impacts of this proposed rule as required by 
Executive Order 12866 (September 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review), 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA, September 16, 1980, Pub. L. 96-
354), section 1102(b) of the Social Security Act, the Unfunded Mandates 
Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4), and Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12866 (as amended by Executive Order 13258, which 
merely reassigns responsibility of duties) directs agencies to assess 
all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). A 
regulatory impact analysis (RIA) must be prepared for major rules with 
economically significant effects ($100 million or more in any 1 year). 
This proposed rule is major, as defined in Title 5, United States Code, 
section 804(2), because we estimate the impact to the Medicare program, 
and the annual effects to the overall economy, would be more than $100 
million.
    The RFA requires agencies to analyze options for regulatory relief 
of small businesses. For purposes of the RFA, small entities include 
small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies. 
Most SNFs and most other providers and suppliers are small entities, 
either by their nonprofit status or by having revenues of $11.5 million 
or less in any 1 year. For purposes of the RFA, approximately 53 
percent of SNFs are considered small businesses according to the Small 
Business Administration's latest size standards, with total revenues of 
$11.5 million or less in any 1 year (for further information, see 65 FR 
69432, November 17, 2000). Individuals and States are not included in 
the definition of a small entity. In addition, approximately 29 percent 
of SNFs are nonprofit organizations.
    This proposed rule proposes to update the SNF PPS rates published 
in the FY 2005 update notice on July 30, 2004 (69 FR 45775) and the 
associated correction notices published on October 7, 2004 (69 FR 
60158), and December 30, 2004 (69 FR 78445).
    In addition, section 1102(b) of the Act requires us to prepare a 
regulatory impact analysis if a rule may have a significant impact on 
the operations of a substantial number of small rural hospitals. This 
analysis must conform to the provisions of section 603 of the RFA. For 
purposes of section 1102(b) of the Act, we define a small rural 
hospital as a hospital that is located outside of a Metropolitan 
Statistical Area and has fewer than 100 beds. We anticipate that the 
impact on swing-bed facilities will be similar to the impact on rural 
hospital-based facilities, which benefit from the case-mix refinement 
(see Table 12 below).
    Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 also 
requires that agencies assess anticipated costs and benefits before 
issuing any rule that may result in expenditure in any 1 year by State, 
local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private 
sector, of $110 million or more. This proposed rule would not have a 
substantial effect on the governments mentioned, or on private sector 
costs.
    Executive Order 13132 establishes certain requirements that an 
agency must meet when it promulgates a proposed rule that impose 
substantial direct requirement costs on State and local governments, 
preempts State law, or otherwise has Federalism implications. As stated 
above, this proposed rule would not have a substantial effect on State 
and local governments.

B. Anticipated Effects

    This proposed rule sets forth updates of the SNF PPS rates 
contained in the FY 2005 update notice (69 FR 45775), and the 
associated correction notices (69 FR 60158 and 69 FR 78445) and 
presents a refinement to the RUG-III case-mix classification system to 
be incorporated into the Medicare SNF PPS effective January 1, 2006. As 
described

[[Page 29101]]

in Section II.B.4, providers would continue to be paid under the 
current 44 group RUG-III system from October 1, 2005 through December 
31, 2005. Beginning January 1, 2006, we propose that providers would be 
paid the proposed new RUG-53 payment.
    Based on the above, we estimate the FY 2006 impact to be a net 
impact of $0 million on payments (this reflects a $1.02 billion 
reduction from the expiration of temporary payment increases, offset by 
a $510 million increase from the proposed refined case-mix 
classification system and a $510 million increase from the update to 
the payment rates, as explained in greater detail later in this 
section). The impact analysis in Table 12 of this proposed rule 
represents the projected effects of the proposed policy changes in the 
SNF PPS from FY 2005 to FY 2006. We estimate the effects by estimating 
payments while holding all other payment variables constant. We use the 
best data available, but we do not attempt to predict behavioral 
responses to these changes, and we do not make adjustments for future 
changes in such variables as days or case-mix.
    We note that certain events may combine to limit the scope or 
accuracy of our impact analysis, because such an analysis is future-
oriented and, thus, susceptible to forecasting errors due to other 
changes in the forecasted impact time period. Some examples are newly-
legislated general Medicare program funding changes by the Congress, or 
changes specifically related to SNFs. In addition, changes to the 
Medicare program may continue to be made as a result of the BBA, the 
BBRA, the BIPA, the MMA, or new statutory provisions. Although these 
changes may not be specific to the SNF PPS, the nature of the Medicare 
program is such that the changes may interact, and the complexity of 
the interaction of these changes could make it difficult to predict 
accurately the full scope of the impact upon SNFs.
    In accordance with section 1888(e)(4)(E) of the Act, we are 
updating the payment rates for FY 2006. The BBRA, BIPA, and MMA 
provided for several temporary adjustments to the SNF PPS payment rates 
that together, using the most recent data available, accounted for an 
estimated $1.4 billion per year in payments to the nursing home 
industry.
    We note that in accordance with section 101(a) of the BBRA and 
section 314 of the BIPA, the existing, temporary increase in the per 
diem adjusted payment rates of 20 percent for certain specified 
clinically complex RUGs (and 6.7 percent for other, rehabilitation 
RUGs) would expire with the implementation of the proposed case-mix 
refinements in the SNF PPS. As explained in section II.B.3 of this 
proposed rule, section 511 of the MMA, which provides for a 128 percent 
increase in the PPS per diem payment for any SNF resident with Acquired 
Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), remains in effect. However, we have 
not provided a separate impact analysis for the MMA provision. Our 
latest estimates indicate that there are less than 2,000 beneficiaries 
who qualify for this add-on payment. The impact to Medicare is included 
in the ``total'' column of Table 12.
    In proposing to update the rates for FY 2006, we made a number of 
standard annual revisions and clarifications mentioned elsewhere in 
this proposed rule (for example, the update to the wage and market 
basket indexes used for adjusting the Federal rates). These revisions 
would increase payments to SNFs by approximately $510 million.
    The aggregate change in payments associated with this proposed rule 
is estimated to be $0 million for FY 2006. The decrease of $1.02 
billion due to the elimination of the temporary add-ons as of January 
1, 2006, together with the additional payment due to the proposed 
refined case-mix classification system of $510 million and the market 
basket increase of $510 million, results in a net change in payments of 
$0 million. There are two areas of change that produce this impact on 
SNFs:
    1. The implementation of a refined case-mix classification system 
under section 1888(e)(4)(G)(i) of the Act and, consequently, the 
reduction of the temporary 20 percent/6.7 percent add-ons to the 
Federal rates for the specified RUG groups.
    2. The total change in payments from FY 2005 levels to FY 2006 
levels. This includes all of the previously noted changes in addition 
to the effect of the update to the rates.
    The impacts are shown in Table 12. The breakdown of the various 
categories of data in the table follows.
    The first column shows the breakdown of all SNFs by urban or rural 
status, hospital-based or freestanding status, and census region.
    The first row of figures in the first column describes the 
estimated effects of the various changes on all facilities. The next 6 
rows show the effects on facilities split by hospital-based, 
freestanding, urban, and rural categories. The next 20 rows show the 
effects on urban versus rural status by census region.
    The second column in the table shows the number of facilities in 
the impact database.
    The third column of the table shows the effect of the annual update 
to the wage index. This represents the effect of using the most recent 
wage data available. The total impact of this change is zero percent; 
however, there are distributional effects of the change.
    The fourth column of the table shows the effect of using the new 
OMB geographic designations based on CBSAs.
    The fifth column of the table shows the effect of the elimination 
of the add-on for specified RUG groups. As expected, this results in a 
decrease in payments for all providers.
    The sixth column of the table shows the effect of the proposed 
refinements to the case-mix classification system. Table 12 shows that 
there is a positive three percent overall impact from the proposed 
case-mix refinements. Distributional effects are noted for specific 
providers. For example, hospital-based facilities are expected to 
receive greater than a 5.6 percent increase in payment, compared with 
freestanding facilities that show an increase in payments of between 
2.4 and 2.9 percent. Additionally, rural Census regions show increases 
in payments of 3.4 percent.
    The seventh column of the table shows the effect of all of the 
changes on the FY 2006 payments. As the market basket increase of 3.0 
percentage points is constant for all providers, it is not shown 
individually; however, we note that the ``Total FY 2006 change'' column 
does incorporate this increase. It is projected that aggregate payments 
would not change in total, assuming facilities do not change their care 
delivery and billing practices in response.
    As can be seen from this table, the combined effects of all of the 
changes would vary by specific types of providers and by location. For 
example, though facilities in the rural South Atlantic and rural 
Mountain region experience payment decreases of 2.3 and 1.8 percent 
respectively, some providers such as the rural Pacific and rural New 
England show increases of 4.1 and 2.6 percent respectively. Payment 
increases for facilities in the Rural Pacific area of the country are 
the highest for any provider type.

C. Accounting Statement

    As required by OMB Circular A-4 (available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a004/a-4.pdf), in Table 13 below, we 
have prepared an accounting statement showing the classification of the 
expenditures associated with the provisions of this proposed rule. This 
table provides our best estimate of the change in Medicare payments 
under the SNF PPS as a result of the proposals presented in this 
proposed rule based on the data for 15,675 SNFs in our database. All 
expenditures are classified as transfers to Medicare providers (that 
is, SNFs).

 Expenditures, from the 2005 SNF PPS Rate Year to the 2006 SNF PPS Rate

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Category                             Transfers
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annualized Monetized Transfers............  $0 million.
From Whom To Whom?........................  No Transfer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. Alternatives Considered

    Section 1888(e) of the Act establishes the SNF PPS for the payment 
of Medicare SNF services for cost reporting periods beginning on or 
after July 1, 1998. This section of the statute prescribes a detailed 
formula for calculating payment rates under the SNF PPS, and does not 
provide for the use of any alternative methodology. It specifies that 
the base year cost data to be used for computing the RUG-III payment 
rates must be from FY 1995 (October 1, 1994, through September 30, 
1995.) In accordance with the statute, we also incorporated a number of 
elements into the SNF PPS, such as case-mix classification methodology, 
the MDS assessment schedule, a market basket index, a wage index, and 
the urban and rural distinction used in the development or adjustment 
of the Federal rates. Further, section 1888(e)(4)(H) of the Act 
specifically requires us to disseminate the payment rates for each new 
fiscal year through the Federal Register, and to do so before the 
August 1 that precedes the start of the new fiscal year.
    As discussed previously in section II.B of this proposed rule, we 
propose to implement refinements to the RUG-III case-mix classification 
system under section 1888(e)(4)(G)(i) of the Act. At the same time, we 
continue to evaluate longer-range, more comprehensive changes in the 
case-mix classification system. One alternative that we considered was 
to defer proposing refinements at this time until our evaluation of 
longer-range, more comprehensive changes is complete. However, we 
believe that the refinements that we are proposing would serve to 
improve the distribution of payments under the PPS, in a manner that 
more accurately accounts for the care needs of the most medically 
complex patients. As noted in section II of this preamble, a number of 
analyses have demonstrated an increase in the explanatory power (R-
square) of the proposed refined case-mix classification system model, 
compared to the 44-group model that is currently in use. While our 
additional research may identify more comprehensive modifications, it 
is not currently known when the results of this research would become 
available. Therefore, we have decided to propose the refinements 
discussed elsewhere in this proposed

[[Page 29103]]

rule. In addition, as noted previously, we specifically solicit 
comments on the economic impact of the payment changes discussed in 
this proposed rule, as well as their potential impact on beneficiaries' 
access to quality SNF care.
    We considered other options intended to help ensure more accurate 
allocation of payments specifically with regard to non-therapy 
ancillaries. One of these options included moving the non-therapy 
ancillary costs used in establishing the nursing case-mix component of 
the payment rates to a separate, newly created ``medically ancillary'' 
component (65 FR 19192, April 10, 2000). In addition, we looked at a 
number of possible models, both weighted and unweighted, for a new non-
therapy ancillary index (65 FR 19248ff.). Finally, we also researched 
the application of models such as Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs) and 
All Patient Refined DRGs (APR-DRGs). However, at this stage in our 
analysis, none of these alternatives offered a significant improvement 
over the RUG-53 model in accounting for the variability of non-therapy 
ancillary costs.
    In accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 12866, this 
regulation was reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.

List of Subjects in 42 CFR Part 424

    Emergency medical services, Health facilities, Health professions, 
Medicare.
    For the reasons set forth in the preamble, the Centers for Medicare 
& Medicaid Services proposes to amend 42 CFR chapter IV as follows:

PART 424--CONDITIONS FOR MEDICARE PAYMENT

    1. The authority citation for part 424 continues to read as 
follows:

    Authority: Secs. 1102 and 1871 of the Social Security Act (42 
U.S.C. 1302 and 1395hh).

Subpart A--General Provisions


Sec.  424.3  [Amended]

    2. In Sec.  424.3, in the definition of ``HCPCS'' remove the word 
``CMS'' and add the word ``Healthcare'' in its place.

Subpart B--Certification and Plan of Treatment Requirements

    3. In Sec.  424.20, paragraph (e)(2) is revised to read as follows:


Sec.  424.20  Requirements for posthospital SNF care.

* * * * *
    (e) * * *
    (2) A nurse practitioner or clinical nurse specialist, neither of 
whom has a direct or indirect employment relationship with the facility 
but who is working in collaboration with a physician. For purposes of 
this section--
    (i) Collaboration means a process whereby a nurse practitioner or 
clinical nurse specialist works with a doctor of medicine or osteopathy 
to deliver health care services. The services are delivered within the 
scope of the nurse's professional expertise, with medical direction and 
appropriate supervision as provided for in guidelines jointly developed 
by the nurse and the physician or other mechanisms defined by Federal 
regulations and the law of the State in which the services are 
performed.
    (ii) A direct employment relationship with the facility is one 
meeting the common law test specified in 20 CFR 404.1005, 404.1007, and 
404.1009. When this test is not met, the facility is considered to have 
an indirect employment relationship with any nurse practitioner or 
clinical nurse specialist who performs nursing services for the 
facility under Sec.  409.21 of this subchapter (however, the 
performance of only delegated physician tasks under Sec.  483.40(e) of 
this chapter does not, in itself, establish the existence of an 
indirect employment relationship).

\2\ All counties within the State are classified as urban, with the
  exception of Massachusetts and Puerto Rico. Massachusetts and Puerto
  Rico have areas designated as rural, however, no short-term, acute
  care hospitals are located in the area(s) for FY 2006. Because more
  recent data is not available for those areas, we are using last year's
  wage index value.
