I. Background

    [If you choose to comment on issues in this section, please include 
the caption ``BACKGROUND'' at the beginning of your comments.]

A. Statutory Background

    The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA) (Pub. L. 105-33), enacted on 
August 5, 1997, significantly changed the way Medicare pays for 
Medicare home health services. Until the implementation of a home 
health prospective payment system (HH PPS) on October 1, 2000, home 
health agencies (HHAs) received payment under a cost-based 
reimbursement system. Section 4603 of the BBA governed the development 
of the HH PPS.
    Section 4603(a) of the BBA provides the authority for the 
development of a PPS for all Medicare-covered home health services 
provided under a plan of care that were paid on a reasonable cost basis 
by adding section 1895, entitled ``Prospective Payment For Home Health 
Services,'' to the Social Security Act (the Act).
    Section 1895(b)(1) of the Act requires the Secretary to establish a 
PPS for all

[[Page 44083]]

costs of home health services paid under Medicare.
    Section 1895(b)(3)(A) of the Act requires that (1) the computation 
of a standard prospective payment amount include all costs of home 
health services covered and paid for on a reasonable cost basis and be 
initially based on the most recent audited cost report data available 
to the Secretary, and (2) the prospective payment amounts be 
standardized to eliminate the effects of case-mix and wage levels among 
HHAs.
    Section 1895(b)(3)(B) of the Act addresses the annual update to the 
standard prospective payment amounts by the home health applicable 
increase percentage as specified in the statute.
    Section 1895(b)(4) of the Act governs the payment computation. 
Sections 1895(b)(4)(A)(i) and (b)(4)(A)(ii) of the Act require the 
standard prospective payment amount to be adjusted for case-mix and 
geographic differences in wage levels. Section 1895(b)(4)(B) of the Act 
requires the establishment of an appropriate case-mix adjustment factor 
that explains a significant amount of the variation in cost among 
different units of services. Similarly, section 1895(b)(4)(C) of the 
Act requires the establishment of wage-adjustment factors that reflect 
the relative level of wages and wage-related costs applicable to the 
furnishing of home health services in a geographic area compared to the 
national average applicable level. These wage-adjustment factors may be 
the factors used by the Secretary for the different area wage levels 
for purposes of section 1886(d)(3)(E) of the Act.
    Section 1895(b)(5) of the Act gives the Secretary the option to 
grant additions or adjustments to the payment amount otherwise made in 
the case of outliers because of unusual variations in the type or 
amount of medically necessary care. Total outlier payments in a given 
fiscal year cannot exceed 5 percent of total payments projected or 
estimated.
    On December 8, 2003, the Congress enacted the Medicare Prescription 
Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-
173). This legislation affected how we make updates to HH payment 
rates.
    Section 701 of the MMA changed the yearly update cycle of the HH 
PPS rates from that of a fiscal year to a calendar year update cycle 
for 2004 and any subsequent year. Generally, section 701(a) of the MMA 
changed the references in the statute to refer to the calendar year for 
2004 and any subsequent year. The changes resulted in updates to the HH 
PPS rates described as ``fiscal year'' updates for 2002 and 2003 and as 
``calendar year'' updates for 2004 and any subsequent year (section 
1895(b)(3)(B)(i) of the Act). Beginning on January 1, 2005, HH PPS 
would now be updated on a calendar year update cycle.
    In addition to changing the update cycle for HH PPS rates, section 
701 of the MMA made adjustments to the home health applicable increase 
percentage for 2004, 2005, and 2006. Specifically, section 701(a)(2)(D) 
of the MMA left unchanged the home health market basket update for the 
last calendar year quarter of 2003 and the first calendar year quarter 
of 2004 (section 1895(b)(3)(B)(ii)(II) of the Act). Furthermore, 
section 701(b)(4) of the MMA set the home health applicable percentage 
increase for the last 3 quarters of 2004 as the home health market 
basket (3.1 percent) minus 0.8 percentage point (section 
1895(b)(3)(B)(ii)(III) of the Act). We implemented this provision 
through Pub. 100-20, One Time Notification, Transmittal 59, issued 
February 20, 2004. Section 701(b)(4) of the MMA also provided that 
updates for CY 2005 and CY 2006 would equal the applicable home health 
market basket percentage increase minus 0.8 percentage point. Lastly, 
section 701(b)(3) of the MMA revised the statute to provide that HH PPS 
rates for CY 2007 and any subsequent year would be updated by that 
year's home health market basket percentage increase (section 
1895(b)(3)(B)(ii)(IV) of the Act).
    On February 8, 2006, the Congress enacted the Deficit Reduction Act 
(DRA) of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-171). This legislation made additional 
changes to HH PPS.
    Section 5201 of the DRA changed the CY 2006 update from the 
applicable home health market basket percentage increase minus 0.8 
percentage point to a 0 percent update.
    Section 5201 of the DRA amended section 421(a) of the MMA. The 
amended section 421(a) of the MMA requires for home health services 
furnished in a rural area (as defined in section 1886(d)(2)(D) of the 
Act) on or after January 1, 2006 and before January 1, 2007, that the 
Secretary increase the payment amount otherwise made under section 1895 
of the Act for those services by 5 percent. The statute waives budget 
neutrality for purposes of this increase as it specifically requires 
that the Secretary not reduce the standard prospective payment amount 
(or amounts) under section 1895 of the Act applicable to home health 
services furnished during a period to offset the increase in payments 
resulting in the application of this section of the statute.
    The 0 percent update to the payment rates and the rural add-on 
provisions of the DRA were implemented through Pub. 100-20, One Time 
Notification, Transmittal 211 issued February 10, 2006.
    In addition, section 5201(c) of the DRA amends the statute to add 
section 1895(b)(3)(B)(v) to the Act, requiring HHAs to submit data for 
purposes of measuring health care quality. This requirement is 
applicable for 2007 and each subsequent year. For 2007 and each 
subsequent year, in the case of a HHA that does not submit quality 
data, the home health market basket percentage increase would be 
reduced by 2 percentage points.

B. Updates

    On July 3, 2000, we published a final rule (65 FR 41128) in the 
Federal Register to implement the HH PPS legislation. That final rule 
established requirements for the new PPS for HHAs as required by 
section 4603 of the BBA, and as subsequently amended by section 5101 of 
the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act 
(OCESAA) for Fiscal Year 1999 (Pub. L. 105-277), enacted on October 21, 
1998; and by sections 302, 305, and 306 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and 
SCHIP Balanced Budget Refinement Act (BBRA) of 1999 (Pub. L. 106-113), 
enacted on November 29, 1999. The requirements include the 
implementation of a PPS for HHAs, consolidated billing requirements, 
and a number of other related changes. The PPS described in that rule 
replaced the retrospective reasonable-cost-based system that was used 
by Medicare for the payment of home health services under Part A and 
Part B.
    On November 9, 2005, we published a final rule (70 FR 68132), which 
set forth an update to the 60-day national episode rates and the 
national per-visit amounts under the Medicare prospective payment 
system for home health agencies. As part of that final rule, we adopted 
revised area labor market Metropolitan Statistical Area designations 
for CY 2006. In implementing the new area labor market designations, we 
allowed for a one-year transition period. This transition consists of a 
blend of 50 percent of the new area labor market designations' wage 
index and 50 percent of the previous area labor market designations' 
wage index. In addition, we revised the fixed dollar loss ratio, which 
is used in the calculation of outlier payments.

C. System for Payment of Home Health Services

    Generally, Medicare makes payment under the HH PPS on the basis of 
a

[[Page 44084]]

national standardized 60-day episode payment, adjusted for case mix and 
wage index. For episodes with four or fewer visits, Medicare pays on 
the basis of a national per-visit amount by discipline, referred to as 
a low utilization payment adjustment (LUPA). Medicare also adjusts the 
60-day episode payment for certain intervening events that give rise to 
a partial episode payment adjustment (PEP adjustment) or a significant 
change in condition adjustment (SCIC). For certain cases that exceed a 
specific cost threshold, an outlier adjustment may also be available. 
For a complete and full description of the HH PPS as required by the 
BBA and as amended by OCESAA and BBRA, see the July 3, 2000 HH PPS 
final rule (65 FR 41128).

D. Changes in Payment for Oxygen and Oxygen Equipment and Other Durable 
Medical Equipment (Capped Rental Items)

    The Medicare payment rules for durable medical equipment (DME) are 
set forth in section 1834(a) of the Act and 42 CFR part 414, subpart D 
of our regulations. General payment rules for DME are set forth in 
section 1834(a)(1) of the Act and Sec.  414.210 of our regulations, and 
Sec.  414.210 also contains paragraphs relating to maintenance and 
servicing of items and replacement of items. Specific rules for oxygen 
and oxygen equipment are set forth in section 1834(a)(5) of the Act and 
Sec.  414.226 of our regulations, and specific rules for capped rental 
items are set forth in section 1834(a)(7) of the Act and Sec.  414.229 
of our regulations. Rules for determining a period of continuous use 
for the rental of DME are set forth in Sec.  414.230 of our 
regulations. The Medicare payment basis for DME is equal to 80 percent 
of either the lower of the actual charge or the fee schedule amount for 
the item. The beneficiary coinsurance is equal to 20 percent of either 
the lower of the actual charge or the fee schedule amount for the item.
    In accordance with the rules set forth in section 1834(a)(5) of the 
Act and Sec.  414.226 of our regulations, since 1989, suppliers have 
been paid monthly for furnishing oxygen and oxygen equipment to 
Medicare beneficiaries. Suppliers have also been paid an add-on fee for 
furnishing portable oxygen equipment to patients when medically 
necessary. Before the enactment of the DRA, these monthly payments 
continued for the duration of use of the equipment, provided that 
Medicare Part B coverage and eligibility criteria were met. Medicare 
covers three types of oxygen delivery systems: (1) Stationary or 
portable oxygen concentrators, which concentrate oxygen in room air; 
(2) stationary or portable liquid oxygen systems, which use oxygen 
stored as a very cold liquid in cylinders and tanks; and (3) stationary 
or portable gaseous oxygen systems, which administer compressed oxygen 
directly from cylinders. Both liquid and gaseous oxygen systems require 
delivery of oxygen contents.
    Medicare payment for furnishing oxygen and oxygen equipment is made 
on a monthly basis and the fee schedule amounts vary by State. Payment 
for oxygen contents for both stationary and portable equipment is 
included in the fee schedule allowances for stationary equipment. 
Medicare fee schedules for home oxygen equipment are modality neutral; 
meaning that in a given State, there is one fee schedule amount that 
applies to all stationary systems and one fee schedule amount that 
applies to all portable systems.
    Effective January 1, 2006, section 5101(b) of the DRA amended the 
Act at section 1834(a)(5) of the Act, limiting to 36 months the total 
number of continuous months for which Medicare will pay for oxygen 
equipment on a rental basis. At the end of the 36-month period, this 
section mandates that the supplier transfer title to the stationary and 
portable oxygen equipment to the beneficiary. Section 5101(b) of the 
DRA does not, however, limit the number of months for which Medicare 
will pay for oxygen contents for beneficiary-owned stationary or 
portable gaseous or liquid systems, and payment will continue to be 
made as long as the oxygen remains medically necessary. Section 5101(b) 
of the DRA also provides that payment for reasonable and necessary 
maintenance and servicing of beneficiary-owned oxygen equipment will be 
made for parts and labor not covered by a supplier's or manufacturer's 
warranty. In the case of beneficiaries using oxygen equipment on 
December 31, 2005, the 36-month rental period prescribed by the DRA 
begins on January 1, 2006.
    In accordance with the rules set forth in section 1834(a)(7) of the 
Act and Sec.  414.229 of our regulations, before the enactment of the 
DRA, suppliers of capped rental items (that is, other DME not described 
in paragraphs (2) through (6) of section 1834(a) of the Act) were paid 
on a rental or purchase option basis. Payment for most items in the 
capped rental category was made on a monthly rental basis, with rental 
payments being capped at 15 months or 13 months, depending on whether 
the beneficiary chose to continue renting the item or to take over 
ownership of the item through the ``purchase option.'' For all capped 
rental items, the supplier was required to inform the beneficiary of 
his or her purchase option, during the 10th rental month, to enter into 
a purchase agreement under which the supplier would transfer title to 
the item to the beneficiary on the first day after the 13th continuous 
month during which payment was made for the rental of the item. 
Therefore, if the beneficiary chose the purchase option, rental 
payments to the supplier would continue through the 13th month of 
continuous use of the equipment, after which time title to the 
equipment would transfer from the supplier to the beneficiary. Medicare 
would also make payment for any reasonable and necessary repair or 
maintenance and servicing of the equipment following the transfer of 
title. If the beneficiary did not choose the purchase option, rental 
payments would continue through the 15th month of continuous use. In 
these cases, suppliers would maintain title to the equipment but would 
have to continue furnishing the item to the beneficiary as long as 
medically necessity continued. Beginning 6 months after the 15th month 
of continuous use in which payment was made, Medicare would also make 
semi-annual maintenance and servicing payments to suppliers. These 
payments were approximately equal to 10 percent of the purchase price 
for the equipment as determined by the statute. Total Medicare payments 
made through the 13th and 15th months of rental equal 105 and 120 
percent, respectively, of the purchase price for the equipment.
    In the case of power-driven wheelchairs, since 1989 payment has 
also been made on a lump-sum purchase basis at the time that the item 
is initially furnished to the beneficiary if the beneficiary chooses to 
obtain the item in this manner. Most beneficiaries choose to obtain 
power-driven wheelchairs via this lump-sum purchase option.
    Effective for items for which the first rental month occurs on or 
after January 1, 2006, section 5101(a) of the DRA of 2005 amended 
section 1834(a)(7) of the Act, limiting to 13 months the total number 
of continuous months for which Medicare will pay for DME in this 
category. After a 13-month period of continuous use during which rental 
payments are made, the statute requires that the supplier transfer 
title to the equipment to the beneficiary. Beneficiaries may still 
elect to obtain power-driven wheelchairs on a lump-sum purchase 
agreement basis. In all cases, payment for reasonable and necessary 
maintenance and servicing of beneficiary-owned equipment will be made 
for parts and labor not covered by

[[Page 44085]]

the supplier's or manufacturer's warranty.

II. Provisions of the Proposed Regulations

    [If you choose to comment on issues in this section, please include 
the caption ``PROVISIONS OF THE PROPOSED REGULATIONS'' at the beginning 
of your comments.]

A. National Standardized 60-Day Episode Rate

    Medicare HH PPS has been effective since October 1, 2000. As set 
forth in the final rule published July 3, 2000 in the Federal Register 
(65 FR 41128), the unit of payment under Medicare HH PPS is a national 
standardized 60-day episode rate. As set forth in Sec.  484.220, we 
adjust the national standardized 60-day episode rate by a case mix 
grouping and a wage index value based on the site of service for the 
beneficiary. The proposed CY 2007 HH PPS rates use the same case-mix 
methodology and application of the wage index adjustment to the labor 
portion of the HH PPS rates as set forth in the July 3, 2000 final 
rule. In the October 22, 2004 final rule, we rebased and revised the 
home health market basket, resulting in a labor-related share of 76.775 
percent and a non-labor portion of 23.225 percent (69 FR 62126). We 
multiply the national 60-day episode rate by the patient's applicable 
case-mix weight. We divide the case-mix adjusted amount into a labor 
and non-labor portion. We multiply the labor portion by the applicable 
wage index based on the site of service of the beneficiary.
    As required by section 1895(b)(3)(B) of the Act, we have updated 
the HH PPS rates annually in a separate Federal Register document. 
Section 484.225 sets forth the specific annual percentage update. To 
reflect section 1895(b)(3)(B)(v) of the Act, as added by section 5201 
of the DRA, in Sec.  484.225, we are proposing to revise paragraph (g) 
as follows:

    (g) For 2007 and subsequent calendar years, the unadjusted 
national rate is equal to the rate for the previous calendar year 
increased by the applicable home health market basket index amount 
unless the HHA has not submitted quality data in which case the 
unadjusted national rate is equal to the rate for the previous 
calendar year increased by the applicable home health market basket 
index amount minus 2 percentage points.

    For CY 2007, we are proposing to use again the design and case-mix 
methodology described in section III.G of the HH PPS July 3, 2000 final 
rule (65 FR 41192 through 41203). For CY 2007, we are proposing to base 
the wage index adjustment to the labor portion of the PPS rates on the 
most recent pre-floor and pre-reclassified hospital wage index as 
discussed in section II.F. of this proposed rule (not including any 
reclassifications under section 1886(d)(8)(B) of the Act).
    As discussed in the July 3, 2000 HH PPS final rule, for episodes 
with four or fewer visits, Medicare pays the national per-visit amount 
by discipline, referred to as a LUPA. We update the national per-visit 
amounts by discipline annually by the applicable home health market 
basket percentage. We adjust the national per-visit amount by the 
appropriate wage index based on the site of service for the beneficiary 
as set forth in Sec.  484.230. We propose to adjust the labor portion 
of the updated national per-visit amounts by discipline used to 
calculate the LUPA by the most recent pre-floor and pre-reclassified 
hospital wage index, as discussed in section II.F of this proposed 
rule.
    Medicare pays the 60-day case-mix and wage-adjusted episode payment 
on a split percentage payment approach. The split percentage payment 
approach includes an initial percentage payment and a final percentage 
payment as set forth in Sec.  484.205(b)(1) and Sec.  484.205(b)(2). We 
may base the initial percentage payment on the submission of a request 
for anticipated payment (RAP) and the final percentage payment on the 
submission of the claim for the episode, as discussed in Sec.  409.43. 
The claim for the episode that the HHA submits for the final percentage 
payment determines the total payment amount for the episode and whether 
we make an applicable adjustment to the 60-day case-mix and wage-
adjusted episode payment. The end date of the 60-day episode as 
reported on the claim determines which calendar year rates Medicare 
would use to pay the claim.
    We may also adjust the 60-day case-mix and wage-adjusted episode 
payment based on the information submitted on the claim to reflect the 
following:
     A low utilization payment provided on a per-visit basis as 
set forth in Sec.  484.205(c) and Sec.  484.230.
     A partial episode payment adjustment as set forth in Sec.  
484.205(d) and Sec.  484.235.
     A significant change in condition adjustment as set forth 
in Sec.  484.205(e) and Sec.  484.237.
     An outlier payment as set forth in Sec.  484.205(f) and 
Sec.  484.240.
    This proposed rule reflects the proposed updated CY 2007 rates that 
would be effective January 1, 2007.

B. Proposed CY 2007 Update to the Home Health Market Basket Index

    Section 1895(b)(3)(B) of the Act, as amended by section 5201 of the 
DRA, requires for CY 2007 that the standard prospective payment amounts 
be increased by a factor equal to the applicable home health market 
basket update.
     Proposed CY 2007 Adjustments.
    In calculating the annual update for the CY 2007 60-day episode 
rates, we are proposing to first look at the CY 2006 rates as a 
starting point. The CY 2006 national 60-day episode rate, as modified 
by section 5201(a)(4) of the DRA (and implemented through Pub. 100-20, 
One Time Notification, Transmittal 211 issued February 10, 2006) is 
$2,264.28.
    In order to calculate the CY 2007 national 60-day episode rate, we 
are proposing to multiply the CY 2006 national 60-day episode rate 
($2,264.28) by the proposed estimated home health market basket update 
of 3.1 percent for CY 2007. The proposed estimated home health market 
basket percentage increase reflects changes over time in the prices of 
an appropriate mix of goods and services included in covered home 
health services. The estimated home health market basket percentage 
increase is generally used to update the HH PPS rates on an annual 
basis.
    We would increase the 60-day episode payment rate for CY 2007 
(episodes ending on or after January 1, 2007, and before January 1, 
2008) by the proposed estimated home health market basket update (3.1 
percent) ($2,264.28 x 1.031) to yield the proposed updated CY 2007 
national 60-day episode rate ($2,334.47) (see Table 1 below).

National Per-visit Amounts Used To Pay LUPAs and Compute Imputed Costs 
Used in Outlier Calculations
    As discussed previously in this proposed rule, the policies 
governing the LUPAs and outlier calculations set forth in the July 3, 
2000 HH PPS final rule would continue during CY 2007. In calculating 
the annual update for the CY 2007 national per-visit amounts we use to 
pay LUPAs and to compute the imputed costs in outlier calculations, we 
are proposing to look again at the CY 2006 rates as a starting point. 
We then are proposing to multiply those amounts by the proposed 
estimated home health market basket update (3.1 percent) for CY 2007 to 
yield the updated per-visit amounts for each home health discipline for 
CY 2007 (episodes ending on or after January 1, 2007, and before 
January 1, 2008) (see Table 2 below).

C. Rural Add-On

    As stated above, section 5201(b) of the DRA requires, for home 
health services furnished in a rural area (as defined in section 
1886(d)(2)(D) of the Act) with respect to episodes and visits beginning 
on or after January 1, 2006 and before January 1, 2007, that the 
Secretary increase by 5 percent the payment amount otherwise made under 
section 1895 of the Act. The statute waives budget neutrality related 
to this provision as it specifically states that the Secretary shall 
not reduce the standard prospective payment amount (or amounts) under 
section 1895 of the Act applicable to home health services furnished 
during a period to offset the increase in payments resulting in the 
application of this section of the statute.
    While the rural add-on would primarily affect those episodes paid 
based on CY 2006 rates, it would also affect a number of episodes that 
would be paid based on CY 2007 rates. For example, an episode that 
begins on December 20, 2006 and ends on February 17, 2007, for services 
furnished in a rural area, would be paid based on CY 2007 rates because 
the episode ends on or after January 1, 2007 and before January 1, 
2008; and the episode would also receive the rural add-on because the 
episode begins on or after January 1, 2006 and before January 1, 2007.
    The applicable case-mix and wage index adjustment is subsequently 
applied to the 60-day episode amount for the provision of home health 
services where the site of service is the non-Metropolitan Statistical 
Area (MSA) of the beneficiary. Similarly, the applicable wage index 
adjustment is subsequently applied to the LUPA per-visit amounts 
adjusted for the provision of home health services where the site of 
service for the beneficiary is a non-MSA area. We implemented this 
provision for CY 2006 on February 13, 2006 through Pub. 100-20, One 
Time Notification, Transmittal 211 issued February 10, 2006. The 5 
percent rural add-on is noted in tables 3 and 4 below.

    Section 5201(c)(2) of the DRA added section 1895(b)(3)(B)(v)(II) to 
the Act, requiring that ``each home health agency shall submit to the 
Secretary such data that the Secretary determines are appropriate for 
the measurement of health care quality. Such data shall be submitted in 
a form and manner, and at a time, specified by the Secretary for 
purposes of this clause.'' In addition, section 1895(b)(3)(B)(v)(I) of 
the Act, as also added by section 5201(c)(2) of the DRA, dictates that 
``for 2007 and each subsequent year, in the case of a home health 
agency that does not submit data to the Secretary in accordance with 
subclause (II) with respect to such a year, the home health market 
basket percentage increase applicable under such clause for such year 
shall be reduced by 2 percentage points.''
    The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA 87) required 
the use of a standardized assessment instrument for quality oversight 
of HHAs. A standardized assessment instrument provides an HHA with a 
uniform mechanism to assess the needs of their patients and provide CMS 
with a uniform mechanism to assess the HHA's ability to adequately 
address those needs. To fulfill the OBRA 87 mandate, CMS required that, 
as part of their comprehensive assessment process, HHAs collect and 
report Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) data and later 
mandated the submission of this data as an HHA condition of 
participation at 42 CFR 484.20 and 484.55.
    The OASIS data provide consumers and HHAs with ten, publicly-
reported home health quality measures which have been endorsed by the 
National Quality Forum (NQF). Reporting this quality data has also 
required the development of several supporting mechanisms such as the 
HAVEN software used to encode and transmit data using a CMS standard 
electronic record layout, edit specifications, and data dictionary. The 
HAVEN software, which includes the OASIS, has become a standard 
practice within HHA operations. These early investments in data 
infrastructure and supporting software that CMS and HHAs have made over 
the past several years in order to create this quality reporting 
structure, have made quality reporting and measurement an important 
component of the HHA industry. The ten measures are:
    (1) Improvement in ambulation/locomotion.
    (2) Improvement in bathing.
    (3) Improvement in transferring.
    (4) Improvement in management of oral medications.
    (5) Improvement in pain interfering with activity.
    (6) Acute care hospitalization.
    (7) Emergent care.
    (8) Improvement in dyspnea.
    (9) Improvement in urinary incontinence.
    (10) Discharge to community.
    We propose to use OASIS data and the ten quality measures based on 
those data as the appropriate measure on home health quality. 
Continuing to use the OASIS instrument would minimize the burden to 
providers and ensure that costs associated with the development and 
testing of a new reporting mechanism are not incurred. We believe that 
at this time the noted ten quality measures are the most appropriate 
measure of home health quality. Accordingly, for the calendar year (CY) 
2007, we propose that the OASIS data, specifically, the ten quality 
measures, be submitted by HHAs, to meet the requirement that each HHA 
submit data appropriate for the measurement of health care quality, as 
determined by the Secretary.
    Additionally, section 1895(b)(3)(B)(v)(II) of the Act provides the 
Secretary with the discretion to submit the required data in a form,

[[Page 44088]]

manner, and time specified by him. For CY 2007, we are proposing to 
consider OASIS data submitted by HHAs to CMS for episodes beginning on 
or after July 1, 2005 and before July 1, 2006 as meeting the reporting 
requirement. This reporting time period will allow a full 12 months of 
data and will provide CMS the time necessary to analyze and make any 
necessary payment adjustments to the CY 2007 payment rates. HHAs that 
meet the reporting requirement would be eligible for the full home 
health market basket percentage increase.
    During the next few years, we will be pursuing the development of 
patient level process measures for home health agencies, as well as 
continuing to refine the current OASIS tool in response to 
recommendations from a Technical Expert Panel conducted to review the 
data elements that make up the OASIS tool. These process measures will 
refer to specific care practices that are, or are not, followed by the 
home health agency for each patient. An example of this type of measure 
may be: the percentage of patients at risk of falls for whom prevention 
of falls was addressed in the care plan. We expect to introduce these 
additional measures over 2008 and 2009 so as to complement the existing 
OASIS outcome measures. During the years leading to calendar year 2010 
payments, we will test and refine these measures to determine if they 
can more accurately reflect the level of quality care being provided at 
HHAs without being overly burdensome with the data collection 
instrument. Some process measures are in the very early stages of 
development. To the extent that evidence-based data are available on 
which to determine the appropriate measure specifications, and adequate 
risk-adjustments are made, we anticipate collecting and reporting these 
measures as part of each agency's home health quality plan. We believe 
that future modifications to the current OASIS tool including reducing 
the numbers of questions on the tool, refining possible responses, as 
well as adding new process measures will be made. In all cases, we 
anticipate that any future quality measures should be evidence-based, 
clearly linked to improved outcomes, and able to be reliably captured 
with the least burden to the provider. We are also beginning work in 
order to measure patient experience (in the form of a patient 
satisfaction survey) of care in the home health setting.
    We recognize, however, that the conditions of participation (42 CFR 
part 484) that require OASIS submission also provide for exclusions 
from this requirement. Generally, agencies are not subject to the OASIS 
submission requirement, and thus do not receive Medicare payments, for 
patients that are not Medicare Beneficiaries or the patients are not 
receiving Medicare-covered home health services. Under the conditions 
of participation, agencies are excluded from the OASIS reporting 
requirement on individual patients if:
     Those patients are receiving only non-skilled services,
     Neither Medicare nor Medicaid is paying for home health 
care (patients receiving care under a Medicare or Medicaid Managed Care 
Plan are not excluded from the OASIS reporting requirement),
     Those patients are receiving pre- or post-partum services,
     Those patients are under the age of 18 years.
    We believe that the rationale behind the exclusion of these 
agencies from submitting OASIS on patients excluded from OASIS 
submission as a condition of participation is equally applicable to 
HHAs for purposes of meeting the DRA quality requirement. If an agency 
is not submitting OASIS for patients excluded from OASIS submission as 
a condition of participation, we believe that the submission of OASIS 
for quality measures for Medicare payment purposes is also not 
necessary. Therefore, we propose that HHAs do not need to submit 
quality measures for DRA reporting purposes, for those patients who are 
excluded from OASIS submission as a condition of participation.
    Additionally, we propose that agencies newly certified (on or after 
May 31, 2006 for payments to be made in CY 2007) be excluded from the 
DRA reporting requirement as data submission and analysis will not be 
possible for an agency certified this late in the reporting time 
period. We propose that in future years, agencies that certify on or 
after May 31 of the preceding year involved be excluded from any 
payment penalty under the DRA for the following calendar year. For 
example, if HHA ``X'' were to enroll in the Medicare Program on May 30 
2007, CMS would expect them to submit the required quality data (unless 
covered by another exclusion protocol) on or before June 30 2006 (the 
end of the reporting period for payments effectuated in calendar year 
2007. However, if HHA ``X'' were to enroll in the Medicare Program on 
May 31, 2006, CMS would automatically exclude them from the 
requirements under the DRA and the agency would be entitled to the full 
market basket increase for calendar year 2007. We note these exclusions 
only affect reporting requirements under the DRA and do not affect the 
agency's OASIS reporting responsibilities under the conditions of 
participation.
    We propose to require that all HHAs, unless covered by these 
specific exclusions, meet the reporting requirement, or be subject to a 
2 percent reduction in the home health market basket percentage 
increase in accordance with section 1895(b)(3)(B)(v)(I) of the Act. The 
2 percent reduction would apply to all episodes ending on or before 
December 31, 2007. We provide the reduced payment rates in tables 5, 6, 
7, and 8 below.

    Section 1895(b)(3)(B)(v)(III) of the Act further requires that the 
``Secretary shall establish procedures for making data submitted under 
subclause (II) available to the public.'' Additionally, the statute 
requires that ``such procedures shall ensure that a home health agency 
has the opportunity to review the data that is to be made public with 
respect to the agency prior to such data being made public.'' To meet 
the requirement for making such data public, we are proposing to 
continue to use the CMS Home Health Compare Web site whereby HHAs are 
listed geographically. Currently the 10 proposed quality measures are 
posted on the CMS Home Health Compare Web site. Consumers can search 
for all Medicare-approved home health providers that serve their city 
or zip code and then find the agencies offering the types of services 
they need as well as the proposed quality measures. See http://www.medicare.gov/HHCompare/Home/. HHAs currently have access (through 
the Home Health Compare contractor) to their own agency's quality data 
(updated periodically) and we propose to continue this process thus 
enabling each agency to know how it is performing before public posting 
of agency quality data on the CMS Home Health Compare Web site.
    Currently, the CMS Home Health Compare Web site does not publicly

[[Page 44090]]

report data when agencies have fewer than 20 episodes of care within a 
reporting period. In light of the DRA requirements we recognize the 
need to provide the required data to the public and propose to make 
these statistics available through expansion of the CMS Home Health 
Compare Web site.
    In the July 27, 2005 Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) 
testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance, MedPAC expressed 
support for the concept of differential payments for Medicare 
providers, which could create incentives to improve quality. To support 
this initiative, MedPAC stated that ``outcome measures from CMS' 
Outcome-based Quality Indicators'' (currently collected through the 
OASIS instrument) ``could form the starter set.'' MedPAC further states 
``* * * the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality concur(s) that a 
set of these measures is reliable and adequately risk adjusted.''
    The MedPAC testimony recognizes that while the goal of care for 
many home health patients is improving health and functioning, for some 
patients the goal of the HHA is to simply stabilize their conditions 
and prevent further decline. Additionally, the MedPAC testimony 
reflects that measures of structure and process could also be 
considered.
    Various home health outcome measures are now in common use and have 
been studied for some time. A number of these measures have been 
endorsed by the National Quality Forum (NQF) and are evidence-based, 
well accepted, and not unduly burdensome. When determining outcome 
measures that would be most appropriate it is important to measure 
aspects of care that providers can control and are adequately risk-
adjusted. Home-based care presents particular difficulties for provider 
control because patient conditions are compounded by a variety of home 
environment and support system issues.
    We are currently pursuing the development of patient-level process 
measures for HHAs, as well as refining the current OASIS tool in 
response to recommendations from a Technical Expert Panel conducted to 
review the data elements that make up the OASIS tool. These additional 
measures would complement the existing OASIS outcome measures and would 
assist us in identifying processes of care that lead to improvements 
for certain populations of patients. These process measures are 
currently in the very early stages of development. As we stated 
previously, to the extent that evidence-based data are available on 
which to determine the appropriate measure specifications, and adequate 
risk-adjustments are made, we anticipate collecting and reporting these 
measures as part of our home health quality plan. Possible 
modifications to the current OASIS tool include reducing the numbers of 
questions on the tool, refining possible responses, as well as adding 
new process measures.
    We are soliciting comments on how to make the outcome measures more 
useful. We would also like comments on measures of home health care 
processes for which there is evidence or improved care to 
beneficiaries. In all cases, measures should be evidence-based, clearly 
linked to improved outcomes, and able to be reliably captured with the 
least burden to the provider. We are also considering measures of 
patient experience of care in the home health setting, as well as 
efficiency measures, and soliciting comment on the use of the measures 
and their importance in the home health setting. We would address any 
changes to the HH PPS quality data submission requirement in future 
rulemaking.
    It is also our intent to provide guidance on the specifications, 
definitions, and reporting requirements of any additional measures 
through the standard protocol for measure development.
    We are proposing to revise the regulations at 42 CFR Sec.  484.225 
to reflect these new payment requirements which require submission of 
quality data.

E. Outliers and Fixed Dollar Loss Ratio

    Outlier payments are payments made in addition to regular 60-day 
case-mix and wage-adjusted episode payments for episodes that incur 
unusually large costs due to patient home health care needs. Outlier 
payments are made for episodes for which the estimated cost exceeds a 
threshold amount. The episode's estimated cost is the sum of the 
national wage-adjusted per-visit payment amounts for all visits 
delivered during the episode. The outlier threshold for each case-mix 
group, PEP adjustment, or total SCIC adjustment is defined as the 60-
day episode payment amount, PEP adjustment, or total SCIC adjustment 
for that group plus a fixed dollar loss amount. Both components of the 
outlier threshold are wage-adjusted.
    The wage-adjusted fixed dollar loss (FDL) amount represents the 
amount of loss that an agency must bear before an episode becomes 
eligible for outlier payments. The FDL is computed by multiplying the 
wage-adjusted 60-day episode payment amount by the FDL ratio, which is 
a proportion expressed in terms of the national standardized episode 
payment amount. The outlier payment is defined to be a proportion of 
the wage-adjusted estimated costs beyond the wage-adjusted threshold. 
The proportion of additional costs paid as outlier payments is referred 
to as the loss-sharing ratio.
    Section 1895(b)(5) of the Act requires that estimated total outlier 
payments are no more than 5 percent of total estimated HH PPS payments. 
In response to the concerns about potential financial losses that might 
result from unusually expensive cases expressed in comments to the 
October 28, 1999 proposed rule (64 FR 58133), the July 2000 final rule 
set the target for estimated outlier payments at the 5 percent level. 
The FDL ratio and the loss-sharing ratio were then selected so that 
estimated total outlier payments would meet the 5 percent target.
    For a given level of outlier payments, there is a trade-off between 
the values selected for the FDL ratio and the loss-sharing ratio. A 
high FDL ratio reduces the number of episodes that can receive outlier 
payments, but makes it possible to select a higher loss-sharing ratio 
and, therefore, increase outlier payments for outlier episodes. 
Alternatively, a lower FDL ratio means that more episodes can qualify 
for outlier payments, but outlier payments per episode must be lower. 
As a result of public comments on the October 28, 1999 proposed rule, 
in our July 2000 final rule, we made the decision to attempt to cover a 
relatively high proportion of the costs of outlier cases for the most 
expensive episodes that would qualify for outlier payments within the 5 
percent constraint.
    In the July 2000 final rule, we chose a value of 0.80 for the loss-
sharing ratio, which preserves incentives for agencies to attempt to 
provide care efficiently for outlier cases. A loss-sharing ratio of 
0.80 was also consistent with the loss-sharing ratios used in other 
Medicare PPS outlier policies. Furthermore, we estimated the value of 
the FDL ratio that would yield estimated total outlier payments that 
were 5 percent of total home health PPS payments. The resulting value 
for the FDL ratio, for the July 2000 final rule, was 1.13.
    Our CY 2005 update to the HH PPS rates (69 FR 62124) changed the 
FDL ratio from the original 1.13 to 0.70 to allow more home health 
episodes to qualify for outlier payments and to better meet the 
estimated 5 percent target of outlier payments to total HH PPS 
payments. We stated in that CY 2005 update that we planned to continue 
to monitor the outlier expenditures on a yearly basis and to make 
adjustments as necessary (69 FR

[[Page 44091]]

62129). To do so, we planned on using the best Medicare data available 
at the time of publication. For the CY 2005 update, we used CY 2003 
home health claims data.
    Our CY 2006 update to the HH PPS rates (70 FR 68132) changed the 
FDL ratio from 0.70 to 0.65 to allow even more home health episodes to 
qualify for outlier payments and to better meet the estimated 5 percent 
target of outlier payments to total HH PPS payments. For the CY 2006 
update, we used CY 2004 home health claims data.
    At this time, we do not have sufficient data to propose any update 
to the FDL ratio for the CY 2007 update to the HH PPS rates. However, 
depending on the availability of more recent data at the time of 
publication of the HH PPS rate update for the CY 2007 final rule, we 
may, if necessary, implement an update to the FDL ratio for the CY 2007 
update to the HH PPS rates. If so, we plan on using the same 
methodology performed in updating to the current FDL ratio described in 
the June 2, 2004 proposed rule using any more recent available data.

F. Hospital Wage Index--Revised OMB Definition for Geographical 
Statistical Areas

    Sections 1895(b)(4)(A)(ii) and (b)(4)(C) of the Act require the 
Secretary to establish area wage adjustment factors that reflect the 
relative level of wages and wage-related costs applicable to the 
furnishing of home health services and to provide appropriate 
adjustments to the episode payment amounts under HH PPS to account for 
area wage differences. We apply the appropriate wage index value to the 
labor portion (76.775 percent; see 60 FR 62126) of the HH PPS rates 
based on the geographic area in which the beneficiary received home 
health services as discussed in section II.A of this proposed rule. 
Generally, we determine each HHA's labor market area based on 
definitions of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) issued by the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
    We acknowledged in our October 22, 2004 final rule that on June 6, 
2003, the OMB issued an OMB Bulletin (No. 03-04) announcing revised 
definitions for MSAs, new definitions for Micropolitan Statistical 
Areas and Combined Statistical Areas, and guidance on using the 
statistical definitions. 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 Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs). In the 
November 9, 2005 final rule, we adopted the OMB-revised definitions to 
adjust the CY 2006 HH PPS payment rates and revised the regulations at 
Sec.  484.202 to reflect this proposed change. The Hospital Inpatient 
PPS (IPPS) also applied these revised definitions as discussed in the 
August 11, 2004 IPPS final rule (68 FR 49207).
1. Background
    As discussed previously and set forth in the July 3, 2000 final 
rule, the statute provides that the wage adjustment factors may be the 
factors used by the Secretary for purposes of section 1886(d)(3)(E) of 
the Act for hospital wage adjustment factors. As discussed in the July 
3, 2000 final rule, we are proposing to again use the pre-floor and 
pre-reclassified hospital wage index data to adjust the labor portion 
of the HH PPS rates based on the geographic area in which the 
beneficiary receives the home health services. We believe the use of 
the pre-floor and pre-reclassified hospital wage index data results in 
the appropriate adjustment to the labor portion of the costs as 
required by statute. For the CY 2007 update to the home health payment 
rates, we would continue to use the most recent pre-floor and pre-
reclassified hospital wage index available at the time of publication. 
See Addenda A and B of this proposed rule, respectively, for the rural 
and urban hospital wage indices using the CBSA designations. For HH PPS 
rates addressed in this proposed rule, we use preliminary 2007 pre-
floor and pre-reclassified hospital wage index data. We are proposing 
to incorporate updated hospital wage index data for the 2007 pre-floor 
and pre-reclassified hospital wage index for use in the final rule for 
the CY 2007 HH PPS update (not including any reclassifications under 
section 1886(d)(8)(B) of the Act).
    As implemented under the HH PPS in the July 3, 2000 HH PPS final 
rule, each HHA's labor market is determined based on definitions of 
MSAs issued by OMB. In general, an urban area is defined as an 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 
the urban area. The urban and rural area geographic classifications are 
defined in Sec.  412.62(f)(1)(ii) and Sec.  412.62(f)(1)(iii), 
respectively, and have been used under HH PPS since it was implemented.
    Under the HH PPS, the wage index value is based upon the site of 
service (defined by section 1861(m) of the Act as the beneficiary's 
place of residence) for the beneficiary. As has been our longstanding 
practice, any area not included in an MSA (urban area) is considered to 
be nonurban (Sec.  412.64(b)(1)(ii)(C)) and receives the statewide 
rural wage index value (see, for example, 65 FR 41173).
2. Current Labor Market Areas Based on MSAs, Including CBSAs
    In the August 11, 2004 IPPS final rule (69 FR 49206 through 49034), 
revised labor market area definitions were adopted at Sec.  412.64(b), 
which were effective October 1, 2004 for acute care hospitals. The new 
definitions, including CBSAs, were announced by OMB in late 2000 and 
were also discussed in greater detail in the July 14, 2005 HH PPS 
proposed rule in which we proposed to move from MSA-based to CBSA-based 
wage area designations. For the purposes of this proposed rule, the 
term ``MSA-based'' refers to wage index values and designations based 
on the previous MSA designations. Conversely, the term ``CBSA-based'' 
refers to wage index values and designations based on the new OMB 
revised MSA designations which now include CBSAs. Recently other 
payment systems such as the inpatient rehabilitation facility PPS, the 
skilled nursing facility PPS, and Medicare payment for hospice care 
have been updated to use the new revised labor market area definitions.
    Based on public comments received in response to the July 14, 2005 
HH PPS proposed rule, we decided to adopt a 1-year transition policy 
consisting of a 50/50 blend of the CBSA-based wage index values and the 
MSA-based wage index values. This transition policy is discussed in the 
November 9, 2005 HH PPS final rule (70 FR 68132, 68138). In the final 
rule, we also noted that for CY 2007, the HH PPS wage index adjustment 
would be solely based on a CBSA-based wage index.
3. Proposed Revision to the HH PPS Labor Market Areas
    For CY 2007, we are proposing to end the 1 year transition policy 
(implemented for CY 2006) of using a 50/50 blend of MSA-based and CBSA-
based wage area designations. For CY 2007, we are proposing to use 100 
percent of the CBSA-based wage area designations for purposes of 
determining the HH PPS wage index adjustment.
    In adopting the CBSA designations, we identified some geographic 
areas where there were no hospitals, and thus no hospital wage data on 
which to base the calculation of the CY 2006 home health wage index. 
For CY 2006, we adopted a policy in the HH PPS final rule (70 FR 68132) 
to use the CY 2005

[[Page 44092]]

pre-floor, pre-reclassified hospital wage index value for rural areas 
when no rural hospital wage data is available. We also adopted the 
policy that for urban labor markets without an urban hospital from 
which a hospital wage index can be derived, all of the urban CBSAs 
within the State would be used to calculate a statewide urban average 
wage index to use as a reasonable proxy for these areas. As we stated 
in the CY 2006 Home Health PPS Final Rule, we believe that this 
approach serves as a proxy for hospital wage data and provides an 
appropriate standard that accounts for area wage differences.
    For this CY 2007 proposed rule, we are again proposing to apply our 
policy to use the CY 2005 pre-floor/pre-reclassified hospital wage 
index for rural areas where no hospital wage data is available.
    We have not received any concerns from the industry regarding our 
policy to calculate a statewide urban average wage index, using all of 
the urban CBSAs wage index values within the State, for urban labor 
markets without an urban hospital from which a hospital wage index can 
be derived. Consequently, for this CY 2007 proposed rule, we again 
propose to apply our policy to calculate a statewide urban average wage 
index for urban areas with no hospital wage data available. For this CY 
2007 proposed rule, the following areas will be affected by these 
policies:

Rural Massachusetts--proposed assigned wage index value of 1.0216;
Rural Puerto Rico--proposed assigned wage index value of 0.4047; and
Hinesville, GA (CBSA 25980)--proposed assigned wage index value of 
0.9163.

    We recognize that since the publication of the CY 2006 HH PPS final 
rule, representatives of the home health industry have expressed 
concerns with the policy we apply for rural areas where no hospital 
wage data is available, particularly as applied to rural Massachusetts 
facilities. In response to these concerns and in recognition that there 
may be additional rural areas in the future similarly impacted by a 
lack of hospital wage data on which to derive a hospital wage index, we 
are considering alternative methodologies to the methodology proposed 
above, for imputing a rural wage index for areas in States where no 
hospital wage data are available. We believe that an evaluation of 
alternative methodologies for imputing a rural wage index in these 
areas should adhere to four basic policy criteria. First, an 
alternative methodology should retain our current longstanding policy 
to use pre-floor, pre-reclassified hospital wage data to compute wage 
index values for post acute care facilities, including home health 
agencies. Second, any methodology to impute a rural wage index should 
use rural wage data to derive the rural wage index value. Third, any 
methodology to impute a rural wage index should be easy to evaluate. 
Fourth, any methodology to impute a rural wage index would be able to 
update wage data from year-to-year.
    We are specifically considering one alternative to the proposal 
that meets all of the above policy criteria. Under this alternative, we 
would impute a rural wage index value by using a simple average CBSA-
based rural wage index value at the Census Division level. Census 
Divisions are defined by the U.S. Census Bureau and may be found at 
(http://www.census.gov/geo/www/us_regdiv.pdf). As stated above, for CY 
2007, hospital wage data are not available to compute a rural wage 
index for HHAs in rural Massachusetts, and this alternative methodology 
could be applied in this case. Massachusetts is located in Census 
Division I (New England). The states in this Census Division, and their 
respective rural wage index values (using hospital cost report wage 
data for FY 2003) include: Connecticut (1.1753), Maine (0.8410), New 
Hampshire (1.0800), Vermont (0.9944), Rhode Island (all five counties 
classified as urban) and Massachusetts. Using this alternative 
methodology, the states in Census Division I for which rural wage index 
values are available, as shown above, would be used resulting in a 
simple average rural wage index value of 1.0227. Although this 
methodology results in a rural Massachusetts wage index that is 
currently greater than the value under the current proposed policy 
(1.0216), we believe this methodology may be able to accurately reflect 
future increases and/or decreases of wage data for the States within 
the applicable census division. Wage indices are intended to be 
redistributive and should not increase total Medicare spending. We 
believe that the alternative methodology could be a reasonable proxy as 
it uses current rural wage index values (using rural hospital wage 
data) from States within the same census bureau divisions, with similar 
economics.
    As defined by the Census Bureau: ``Census divisions are grouping of 
states and the District of Columbia that are subdivisions of the four 
census regions.'' The Census Bureau further specifically states: 
``Puerto Rico and the Island Areas are not part of any census region or 
census division.'' Therefore, because the Census Bureau does not 
recognize Puerto Rico as part of any of the Census Bureau divisions, we 
do not believe that it is appropriate to compute the wage index for 
rural Puerto Rico using the methodology described in the alternative 
described above. Consequently, as stated above, we propose to continue 
to apply the CY 2005 wage index (0.4047) for Puerto Rico to payments 
for home health services provided to beneficiaries who reside in rural 
areas of Puerto Rico for CY 2007.
    We solicit comments on maintaining our current policy for 
establishing wage index values for rural and urban areas without 
hospitals, the alternative approach outlined above in developing wage 
index values for rural areas without hospitals for CY 2007 and 
subsequent years, as well as suggestions for determining the wage index 
for rural Puerto Rico. We note that there are sufficient economic 
differences between the hospitals in the United States and those in 
Puerto Rico, and that hospitals in Puerto Rico are paid on a blended 
Federal/Commonwealth-specific rates. Consequently, any alternative 
approach/methodology to computing a wage index for rural Puerto Rico 
would need to take into account those differences. We will also 
continue to evaluate existing hospital wage data and, possibly, wage 
data from other sources, such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics, to 
determine if other methodologies of imputing a wage index value where 
hospital wage data are not available may be feasible.

G. Payment for Oxygen, Oxygen Equipment and Capped Rental DME Items

    This proposed rule would amend our regulations at Sec.  414.226 by 
revising the payment rules for oxygen and oxygen equipment in paragraph 
(a), adding a new paragraph (f) that provides that the beneficiary 
assumes ownership of oxygen equipment on the first day that begins 
after the 36th continuous month in which rental payments are made, and 
adding a new paragraph (g) that contains new supplier requirements that 
we believe are necessary in light of the amendments made to section 
1834(a)(5) of the Act by section 5101(b) of the DRA. This proposed rule 
would amend our regulations at Sec.  414.226 by adding a new paragraph 
(c) that establishes new classes and national payment amounts for 
oxygen and oxygen equipment based on our authority in section 
1834(a)(9)(D) of the Act. We are also revising paragraph (b) of this 
section to incorporate the special payment rules for oxygen equipment 
mandated by

[[Page 44093]]

section 1834(a)(21) of the Act. The provisions of section 1834(a)(21), 
which we believe are self-implementing, resulted in adjustments to 
Medicare payment amounts for oxygen contents and stationary oxygen 
equipment as well as portable oxygen equipment in 2005, which were 
implemented through program instructions. We are now seeking to codify 
these changes to make our regulations consistent with the payment 
methodology for these items in 2005 and 2006, and because the payment 
reductions mandated by section 1834(a)(21) are incorporated into our 
proposal, as more fully discussed in section I below, to create new 
payment classes for oxygen and oxygen equipment. This proposed rule 
would redesignate old paragraph (c) of this section as paragraph (d) 
and would amend this paragraph to indicate under what situations 
payments would be made for the items and services described in new 
paragraph (c). Finally, this proposed rule would redesignate old 
paragraph (d) of this section as paragraph (e) and would make technical 
changes to this paragraph so that the cross-references are accurate in 
light of the other changes we are proposing to make to Sec.  414.226.
    This proposed rule would also amend our regulations at Sec.  
414.229 by revising the payment rules for capped rental durable medical 
equipment (DME) items (also called capped rental items) in paragraph 
(a), revising paragraph (f) to provide for new payment rules for capped 
rental items furnished beginning on or after January 1, 2006, revising 
paragraph (g) to provide for supplier requirements that we believe are 
necessary in light of the amendments made to section 1834(a)(7)(A) of 
the Act by section 5101(a) of the DRA, and adding a new paragraph (h) 
to address the lump-sum purchase option for power-driven wheelchairs 
furnished on or after January 1, 2006. The language in current 
paragraphs (f) and (g) of this section is obsolete, and therefore, we 
would propose to delete this language.
    This proposed rule would amend our regulations at Sec.  414.210 by 
revising the maintenance and servicing rules in paragraph (e) and the 
replacement of equipment rules in paragraph (f) to further implement 
the new supplier requirements that we are proposing below.
    Finally, we are proposing to revise Sec.  414.230(b) to incorporate 
section 5101(b)(2)(B) of the DRA, which provides that for all 
beneficiaries receiving oxygen equipment paid for under section 1834(a) 
on December 31, 2005, the period of continuous use begins on January 1, 
2006. We are also proposing to revise Sec.  414.230(f), which governs 
when a new period of continuous use begins if a beneficiary receives 
new equipment, to account for the fact that oxygen equipment is paid on 
a modality neutral basis.
    Section 5101(a) of the DRA changes the Medicare payment methodology 
for capped rental equipment to beneficiary ownership after 13 months of 
continuous use, for those beneficiaries who need the equipment for more 
than 13 months. This section also makes the transfer of title for the 
capped rental items a requirement rather than a beneficiary option 
after 13 months of continuous use. The changes made by this section of 
the DRA apply to capped rental items, including rented power-driven 
wheelchairs, for which the first rental month occurs on or after 
January 1, 2006. We are proposing to update Sec.  414.229 of our 
regulations to reflect these new statutory requirements. However, for 
capped rental items and rented power-driven wheelchairs for which the 
first rental month occurred before January 1, 2006, the existing rules 
in Sec.  414.229 would continue to apply. In addition, as was the case 
before enactment of the DRA, beneficiaries may elect to obtain power-
driven wheelchairs furnished on or after January 1, 2006, on a lump-sum 
purchase basis.
    Section 5101(b) of the DRA changes the Medicare payment methodology 
for oxygen equipment from continuous rental to beneficiary ownership 
after 36 months of continuous use, for those beneficiaries who 
medically need the oxygen equipment for more than 36 months. For 
beneficiaries who were receiving oxygen equipment on December 31, 2005 
for which payment was made under section 1834(a) of the Act, the 36-
month rental period began on January 1, 2006. For beneficiaries who 
begin to rent oxygen equipment on or after January 1, 2006, the 36-
month rental period commences at the time they begin to rent the 
equipment. We are proposing to update Sec.  414.226 of our regulations 
to incorporate these new requirements.
    In light of the changes made by sections 5101(a) and (b) of the 
DRA, we believe it is necessary to propose additional supplier 
requirements in order to maintain beneficiary protections and access to 
oxygen, oxygen equipment, and capped rental DME items under section 
1834(a) of the Act. For both capped rental DME items and oxygen 
equipment, the DRA amendments make the transfer of title from the 
supplier to the beneficiary a requirement rather than an option after 
the statutorily-prescribed rental period ends for each category of 
items. Therefore, suppliers and beneficiaries should be aware that 
title to these items will automatically transfer to the beneficiary if 
the medical need for the equipment continues for a period of continuous 
use that is longer than 36 months for oxygen equipment and 13 months 
for capped rental items. We are concerned that there may be incentives 
for suppliers to avoid having to transfer title to equipment to 
beneficiaries as required by the DRA. For example, we are aware of 
cases where a supplier has informed beneficiaries that it would decline 
to accept assignment for capped rental items and would charge 
beneficiaries who elected the purchase option the full retail price for 
the item during the 13th rental month (which was right before the 
supplier would be required to transfer title under the purchase 
option). In these cases, the beneficiary would become financially 
liable for the total retail price for the equipment in the 13th month 
if they elected the purchase option. We are making several proposals 
relating to the furnishing of oxygen equipment and capped rental items 
which we believe protect beneficiaries from these types of abusive 
practices and which we believe are reasonable for a supplier to comply 
with. Our authority to promulgate these requirements stems from our 
authority to administer the payment rules at section 1834(a)(5) of the 
Act for oxygen equipment and section 1834(a)(7) of the Act for capped 
rental items, as well as the general authority provided in section 1871 
of the Act for prescribing regulations necessary for administering the 
Medicare program. Other than the length of the rental periods, which 
the DRA made effective beginning on January 1, 2006 for all oxygen 
equipment and for capped rental items for which the first rental period 
began on or after that date, we are proposing that the requirements 
presented in this section of the regulations would be effective on 
January 1, 2007, and would apply to suppliers that furnish oxygen 
equipment or capped rental items on a rental basis.
    We believe that a supplier of an item that is subject to these new 
payment rules that furnishes the item in the first month for which a 
rental payment is made has an obligation to continue furnishing the 
item to the beneficiary for the entire period of medical need in which 
payments are made, up to and including the time when title to the 
equipment transfers to the beneficiary. We believe it is reasonable for 
the beneficiary to have an expectation that he or she will not be 
forced to change

[[Page 44094]]

equipment or suppliers during the period of medical need unless he or 
she wants to. Therefore, we are proposing that unless an exception 
applies, the supplier that furnishes oxygen equipment or a capped 
rental item for the first month of the statutorily prescribed rental 
period must continue to furnish the oxygen equipment or the capped 
rental item for as long as the equipment remains medically necessary, 
up to and including the last month for which a rental payment is made 
by Medicare. We believe that this proposal is necessary to ensure 
beneficiary access to equipment during a period of medical need, which 
we believe could be jeopardized if suppliers have the option to take 
back the rented equipment just before the rental period expires in 
order to retain title to that equipment. We propose that this 
requirement would be subject to the following exceptions: (1) Cases 
where the item becomes subject to a competitive acquisition program 
implemented in accordance with section 1847(a) of the Act; (2) cases 
where a beneficiary relocates on either a temporary or permanent basis 
to an area that is outside the normal service area of the initial 
supplier; (3) cases where the beneficiary chooses to obtain equipment 
from a different supplier; and (4) other cases where CMS or the carrier 
determine that an exception is warranted. We have proposed rules in 
connection with the first exception in our Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking for Competitive Acquisition for Certain Durable Medical 
Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) and Other 
Issues. These proposed rules are addressed beginning on page 25662 of 
the May 1, 2006, Federal Register. If the second exception applies, we 
propose that the supplier or beneficiary would need to arrange for 
another supplier in the new area to furnish the item on either a 
temporary or permanent basis. This proposed exception is consistent 
with what currently happens when beneficiaries move outside a 
supplier's service area on either a temporary or permanent basis. The 
third exception is intended to protect a beneficiary's right to obtain 
the equipment from the supplier of his or her choice. Finally, we are 
proposing to allow other exceptions to this proposed requirement on a 
case-by-case basis at the discretion of CMS or the Medicare contractor. 
CMS will be monitoring the case-by-case determinations made by the 
Medicare contractor.
    We are concerned that there might be potential incentives for a 
supplier to replace more valuable or newer equipment used by the 
beneficiary with less valuable or older equipment from its inventory at 
some point before the 36th rental month for oxygen equipment or 13th 
rental month for capped rental DME expires in order to avoid losing 
title to the more valuable equipment. In order to avoid such potential 
situations, we propose that the supplier may not provide different 
equipment from that which was initially furnished to the beneficiary at 
any time during the 36-month period for oxygen equipment or 13th rental 
month for capped rental DME unless one of the following exceptions 
applies: (1) The equipment is lost, stolen, or irreparably damaged; (2) 
the equipment is being repaired while loaner equipment is in use; (3) 
there is a change in the beneficiary's medical condition such that the 
equipment initially furnished is no longer appropriate or medically 
necessary; or (4) the carrier determines that a change in equipment is 
warranted. However, we are proposing that a change from one oxygen 
equipment modality to another without physician documentation that such 
a change is medically necessary for the individual would not be 
considered a change in equipment that is warranted under the fourth 
exception stated above since there is no medical basis for the change. 
In those cases where the equipment is replaced, we propose that the 
replacement item must be equipment that is, at minimum, in the same 
condition as the equipment being replaced. This proposal is intended to 
safeguard beneficiary access to quality oxygen equipment and capped 
rental items throughout the duration of the rental period.
    Under Medicare, suppliers who furnish items of DME can accept 
assignment on all claims for Medicare services or on a claim-by-claim 
basis. Assignment is an agreement between the supplier and the 
beneficiary under which the supplier agrees to request direct payment 
from Medicare for the item, to accept 80 percent of the Medicare 
allowed payment amount for the item from the carrier, and to charge the 
beneficiary not more than the remaining 20 percent of the Medicare 
approved payment amount, plus any unmet deductible. If a supplier 
elects not to accept assignment, Medicare pays the beneficiary 80 
percent of the Medicare allowed payment amount, after subtracting any 
unmet deductible, and there is no limit under Title XVIII of the Act on 
the amount the supplier can charge the beneficiary for rental of the 
DME item. The beneficiary, in these situations, is financially 
responsible for the difference between 80 percent of the Medicare 
allowed payment amount and the amount the supplier charges for the 
rental of the DME item.
    Section 1842(h) allows suppliers to sign a participation agreement 
where the supplier agrees voluntarily, before a calendar year, to 
accept assignment for all Medicare items and services furnished to a 
beneficiary for the following calendar year. Current supplier 
participation agreements are renewable annually. However, the 
agreements do not apply for a full period of medical need for specific 
beneficiaries in cases where such need extends for more than a calendar 
year. Nor do current participation agreements apply to periods of 
medical need where such a period overlaps calendar years. In the latter 
case, while a supplier may renew its participation agreement annually, 
a beneficiary would not know before choosing a supplier whether the 
supplier would be willing to accept assignment of all claims during the 
13-month or 36-month rental period.
    In order for the beneficiary to make an informed choice, we propose 
that before furnishing the oxygen equipment or a capped rental item, 
the supplier must disclose to the beneficiary its intentions regarding 
whether it will accept assignment of all monthly rental claims for the 
equipment during the period of medical necessity, up to and including 
the 36th month of continuous use for oxygen equipment or the 13th 
rental month of continuous use for capped rental DME in which rental 
payments could potentially be made. We believe that it is reasonable 
for the supplier to disclose to each beneficiary its intentions 
regarding assignment of claims for all months during a rental period as 
this decision has a direct financial effect on the beneficiary. A 
supplier's intentions could be expressed in the form of a written 
agreement between the supplier and a beneficiary. This proposal would 
require suppliers to give beneficiaries advance notice of the possible 
extent of their financial liability during the period of medical need 
in which monthly rental payments are made for the equipment, so that 
they can use this information to help select a supplier. Additionally, 
to promote informed beneficiary choices, we plan to post information on 
a CMS and/or CMS contractor Web site(s) indicating supplier specific 
information on oxygen equipment and capped rental items such as (1) the 
percentage of beneficiaries for whom each supplier accepted assignment 
during a prior period of time (for example, a quarter), and/or (2) the 
percentage of cases in which the supplier accepted assignment

[[Page 44095]]

during the beneficiary's entire rental period. We believe that these 
proposals create reasonable rules for suppliers that furnish oxygen 
equipment and capped rental items and ensure that beneficiaries have 
information necessary to make informed choices that could have 
significant financial consequences for them.

H. Payment for Oxygen Contents for Beneficiary-Owned Oxygen Equipment

    Section 1834(a)(5) of the Act, as amended by section 5101(b)(1) of 
the DRA, requires that Medicare continue to make monthly payments for 
the delivery and refilling of oxygen contents for the period of medical 
need after beneficiaries own their own gaseous or liquid oxygen 
stationary or portable equipment. Before the enactment of the DRA, 
Medicare made monthly payments for the delivery and refilling of oxygen 
contents for beneficiaries who own their own stationary and/or portable 
equipment (equipment they obtained on a purchase basis before June 1, 
1989, out-of-pocket, or before they enrolled in Medicare Part B). In 
accordance with the DRA, we propose that after the supplier transfers 
title to the stationary and/or portable oxygen equipment to the 
beneficiary, Medicare would continue to make separate monthly payments 
for gaseous or liquid oxygen contents until medical necessity ends. We 
are also proposing that if the beneficiary-owned equipment is replaced, 
and Medicare pays for the replacement in accordance with proposed 
revised Sec.  414.210(f) (see section K of this proposed rule for a 
more complete discussion of our proposed oxygen equipment replacement 
policies), a new 36-month rental period start and the payment for 
oxygen contents would be included in the monthly rental payments. We 
are proposing that all oxygen content payment amounts would be based on 
new rates developed in accordance with our proposal to establish new 
payment classes, as discussed in section I below.
    In transferring title to gaseous or liquid oxygen equipment used 
during the 36-month rental period, we propose that suppliers must 
transfer title for all equipment that will meet the beneficiary's 
continued medical need, including those oxygen cylinders or vessels 
that are refilled at the supplier's place of business. Customary 
practice by suppliers for refilling oxygen contents is to deliver to 
the beneficiary cylinders filled with contents and take back the empty 
cylinders to the supplier's place of business to refill the oxygen 
contents. Under our proposal, title would transfer for both sets of 
cylinders, meaning the ones that are being used by the beneficiary for 
the month and the ones that the supplier refills in its business 
location and delivers for use during the next subsequent month. This 
policy would apply to both gaseous and liquid oxygen stationary 
equipment and portable systems. Similarly, in those cases where the 
beneficiary uses an oxygen equipment system which includes a compressor 
which fills portable gaseous cylinders in the beneficiary's home, we 
propose that suppliers must transfer title for this equipment to the 
beneficiary.
    Concerns have been raised regarding beneficiary access to, and 
safety issues associated with, the delivery of oxygen contents for 
beneficiary-owned stationary and portable gaseous or liquid equipment. 
We believe that these concerns are based on the misconception that 
beneficiaries become responsible for filling their own cylinders. To 
the contrary, there are numerous State and Federal regulations 
governing the safe handling, filling, and transport of oxygen and those 
regulations are unaffected by the DRA oxygen provisions. We expect that 
suppliers will continue to furnish replacement contents for 
beneficiary-owned gaseous and liquid systems in the same way that they 
have furnished replacement contents for beneficiary-owned equipment in 
the past. For example, suppliers that deliver a one-month supply of 
gaseous cylinders to a beneficiary's home at the same time that they 
are picking up empty cylinders that the beneficiary used during the 
previous month could continue this practice under section 5101(b) of 
the DRA.

I. Classes of Oxygen and Oxygen Equipment

    Based on information from paid Medicare claims with dates of 
service in calendar year 2004, distribution of usage among the four 
general categories of oxygen systems was: (a) 69 percent of 
beneficiaries used both a stationary concentrator (which does not 
require delivery of oxygen contents) and a portable system that 
requires delivery of gaseous or liquid oxygen, (b) 5 percent of 
beneficiaries used a stationary system that requires delivery of 
gaseous or liquid oxygen and a portable system that requires delivery 
of gaseous or liquid oxygen, (c) 24 percent of beneficiaries used a 
stationary concentrator system only, and (d) 2 percent of beneficiaries 
used only a stationary system that requires delivery of liquid or 
gaseous oxygen. The prevalent use of stationary concentrator systems is 
due, in part, to the fact that this system is the most cost-effective 
and dependable of the stationary oxygen modalities. The main reason 
that the concentrator system is the most cost-effective system is that 
the oxygen is concentrated from room air, and therefore, the high cost 
of delivering contents to the beneficiary's residence is removed when 
this system is used. Medicare's current payment structure results in 
two separate payments for beneficiaries using both stationary and 
portable systems, both of which are modality neutral, meaning that the 
payment amount does not differ depending on the type of oxygen delivery 
system (gaseous, liquid, or concentrator) that is furnished. One 
payment, hereinto referred to as the ``stationary payment,'' includes 
payment for the rental of stationary equipment, delivery of stationary 
oxygen contents (for gaseous or liquid systems), and delivery of 
portable oxygen contents (for gaseous or liquid systems). A separate 
add-on payment, hereinto referred to as the ``portable add-on,'' is 
also made in cases where the beneficiary is renting portable oxygen 
equipment. As a result of this payment methodology which has been in 
place since 1989, suppliers have a financial incentive to furnish low 
cost concentrator systems as opposed to more expensive gaseous or 
liquid systems because the monthly payment is the same regardless of 
which system is used. Finally, in implementing section 1834(a)(5) and 
(9) of the Act, monthly payment amounts were established through 
regulations at Sec.  414.226 for (1) stationary and portable oxygen 
contents (for beneficiaries who use stationary and, if applicable, 
portable equipment), and (2) portable oxygen contents only (for 
beneficiaries who only use portable oxygen equipment).
    The current average statewide monthly payment amounts are:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Equipment & contents        Oxygen contents only
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stationary pmt................     $199  Stationary & portable.     $156
Portable add-on...............       32  Portable only.........       21
------------------------------------------------------------------------


[[Page 44096]]

    Based on our data, 36 percent of Medicare beneficiaries continue 
using oxygen equipment for more than three years, that is, beyond the 
36th month after which title for the equipment would transfer to the 
beneficiary in accordance with the DRA.
    We have heard concerns about the appropriateness of the current 
payment structure for oxygen and oxygen equipment in light of changes 
in the technologies for oxygen delivery systems that have occurred 
since 1989, and these concerns have been amplified in light of the 
recent changes made by the DRA. The specific concerns pertain to 
beneficiary access to (1) portable oxygen contents after title to the 
equipment transfers to the beneficiary, (2) devices that allow a 
beneficiary to fill portable tanks at home (otherwise referred to in 
the oxygen equipment industry as transfilling systems), and (3) 
portable oxygen concentrators. As we implement the DRA provisions for 
oxygen equipment and propose to promulgate additional supplier 
requirements, we want to ensure that the Medicare payment methodology 
results in payments for oxygen and oxygen equipment that are accurate, 
do not impede beneficiary access to innovations in technology, and do 
not create inappropriate incentives for suppliers.
    Some believe that Medicare's stationary payment for equipment and 
contents (average of $199) is ``too high'' and that Medicare's payment 
for portable oxygen contents only for beneficiary-owned portable 
equipment (average of $21) is ``too low''. While some contend that the 
overall payment (stationary payment plus portable add-on) for oxygen 
and oxygen equipment is adequate as long as the beneficiary continues 
to rent the equipment, they are concerned about the adequacy of 
Medicare's $21 monthly payment for furnishing oxygen contents for 
beneficiary-owned portable equipment. Some believe that Medicare's 
current average monthly payment of $156 for oxygen contents, which 
includes payment for both stationary and portable systems, is high 
enough to create an incentive for suppliers to furnish stationary 
oxygen systems that require the ongoing delivery of oxygen contents, 
rather than stationary concentrator systems that do not require 
delivery of oxygen contents.
    Some technologies provide an attachment to a stationary oxygen 
concentrator that allows beneficiaries to fill their own portable tanks 
at home. Delivery of portable oxygen contents to the beneficiary's home 
is, therefore, not necessary since this equipment refills the 
beneficiary's rented or owned portable oxygen tanks. This transfilling 
technology eliminates the need for frequent and costly trips by a 
supplier to a beneficiary's home to refill portable oxygen tanks and 
would save the Medicare program and beneficiaries who use portable 
equipment the expense of paying for delivery of portable oxygen 
contents. We note that we are not aware that a similar ``transfilling'' 
technology has been developed that would be capable of filling 
stationary tanks in the beneficiary's home. Therefore, there remains a 
need for ongoing delivery of gaseous or liquid oxygen contents for 
stationary equipment. In accordance with the DRA, after 36 months of 
continuous use, title for the transfilling equipment and accompanying 
portable oxygen tanks would transfer to the beneficiary who would then 
own a portable equipment system that self-generates oxygen in their 
home. However, some are concerned that current Medicare payment rules 
that allow payment for oxygen contents for stationary equipment creates 
an incentive for suppliers to furnish stationary oxygen equipment that 
require liquid or gaseous oxygen deliveries, rather than concentrators 
and transfilling equipment that self-generate oxygen in the 
beneficiary's home. In addition, portable oxygen concentrators are now 
available that meet both the beneficiary's stationary and portable 
oxygen needs. Some have raised concern about whether the combination of 
the Medicare stationary payment and portable add-on payment 
(approximately $231 per month), which is what is currently paid for 
portable oxygen concentrators, is sufficient to facilitate use of this 
new technology which, like a transfilling system, eliminates the need 
for delivery of oxygen contents, but is more expensive than a 
``standard'' or ``non-portable'' concentrator.
    In light of these concerns, we are proposing regulatory changes to 
address the Medicare payment rates for oxygen and oxygen equipment. We 
are proposing to address these issues by using our authority under 
section 1834(a)(9)(D) of the Act to establish separate classes and 
monthly payment rates for items of oxygen and oxygen equipment. 
Specifically, there are two changes we are proposing for oxygen and 
oxygen equipment:
    1. We propose to establish a new class and monthly payment amount 
for oxygen generating portable oxygen equipment (for example, portable 
concentrators and transfilling systems).
    2. We propose to establish separate classes and monthly payment 
amounts for gaseous and liquid oxygen contents that must be delivered 
for beneficiary-owned stationary and portable oxygen equipment.
    The first change involves creating a new separate class for 
portable oxygen systems that generate their own oxygen and therefore 
eliminate the need for delivery of oxygen contents (for example, 
portable concentrator systems or transfilling systems). A higher 
monthly payment amount would be allowed, as described below, for these 
systems to account for the increased, up-front costs to the supplier of 
furnishing these more expensive concentrator or transfilling systems, 
which would be partially offset by the reduced payments that the 
supplier would receive from the Medicare program and beneficiaries due 
to the fact that these systems do not require the delivery of oxygen 
contents.
    The second change involves creating two separate classes 
(stationary contents only and portable contents only) and monthly 
payment rates for furnishing oxygen contents for beneficiary-owned 
stationary and portable systems. Currently, the combined average 
monthly payment amount of $156 for furnishing oxygen contents for 
beneficiary-owned stationary and portable systems includes payment for 
both stationary contents and portable contents. The current fee 
schedule amounts for oxygen contents are based on calendar year data 
from 1986 for the combined average Medicare monthly payment for both 
stationary and portable contents divided by number of rental months for 
stationary liquid and gaseous oxygen equipment. As a result, the 
current combined stationary/portable contents payment results in 
Medicare payments for portable contents even in those cases where the 
beneficiary does not use portable oxygen equipment. Under our proposal 
to create one payment class for oxygen contents used for stationary 
equipment, and a separate class for oxygen contents used for portable 
equipment, new national monthly payment amounts for stationary contents 
delivery and portable contents delivery would be established by 
splitting the combined payment of $156 into two new payments as 
explained below. This change would increase the monthly payment for 
furnishing portable oxygen contents and would address the concerns that 
the monthly payment rate of $21 is too low for the delivery and filling 
of portable tanks after the beneficiary assumes ownership of the 
equipment in accordance with the DRA.

[[Page 44097]]

    In order to achieve budget neutrality for the new classes of oxygen 
and increase payment amounts for furnishing portable contents, we would 
need to reduce other Medicare oxygen payment rates. Budget neutrality 
would require that Medicare's total spending for all modalities of 
stationary and portable systems, including contents, be the same under 
the proposed change as they would be without the change.
    We would propose to achieve budget neutrality by reducing the 
current monthly payment amounts (the stationary payment) for stationary 
oxygen equipment and oxygen contents (for stationary or portable 
equipment) made during the rental period. This reduction in payment is 
necessary to offset increased payments for the changes identified above 
and to meet the requirement in section 1834(a)(9)(D)(ii) that the 
classes and payments be established in a budget neutral fashion. In 
most cases, suppliers furnish Medicare beneficiaries with stationary 
oxygen concentrators. These devices can be purchased for $1,000 or less 
and the current, average Medicare payment of $199 pays suppliers $1,990 
over 10 months. We believe that these facts indicate that making a 
reduction (from $199 on average to $177) in Medicare payment for this 
relatively inexpensive oxygen equipment in order to pay oxygen 
suppliers adequately for furnishing portable oxygen contents and more 
expensive portable oxygen equipment technologies is warranted. With 
this approach, the proposed new classes, as well as proposed new 
national monthly payment rates, would be as follows:
    1. Stationary Payment: $177.
    2. Portable Add-On: $32.
    3. Oxygen Generating Portable Equipment Add-On (portable 
concentrators or transfilling systems): $64.
    4. Stationary Contents Delivery: $101.
    5. Portable Contents Delivery: $55.
    We provide a detailed discussion of the payment rate calculations/
adjustments in the paragraphs that follow. Under the proposed new 
oxygen and oxygen equipment class structure described above, in those 
cases where the beneficiary needs both stationary and portable oxygen, 
monthly payments of $241 or $209 (proposed revised stationary payment 
of $177 plus one of two proposed portable equipment payments, $32 or 
$64) would be made during rental months 1 through 36. The stationary 
payment (which includes payment for stationary equipment, as well as 
oxygen contents for stationary and portable systems) of $177 would be 
made during rental months 1 through 36 for beneficiaries who only need 
stationary oxygen and oxygen equipment. Monthly payments of $101 for 
stationary oxygen contents and/or $55 for portable oxygen contents 
would be made in cases where beneficiaries own their stationary and/or 
portable oxygen equipment. As explained in more detail in the 
paragraphs that follow, the $101 payment is for stationary oxygen 
contents only and is derived from the current payment of $156, which is 
made for both stationary and portable oxygen contents. The $55 payment 
for portable oxygen contents only is also derived from the current 
payment of $156 that is made for both stationary and portable oxygen 
contents and would replace the current statewide portable oxygen 
contents fees (average of $21), which was based on a relatively small 
number of claims and allowed services compared to the number of claims 
and allowed services that were used in computing the statewide fees 
(average of $156) for a combination of stationary and portable oxygen 
contents.
    As noted above, the proposed national payment rates for delivery of 
oxygen contents for beneficiary owned gaseous/liquid equipment were 
derived from the current average payment for a combined oxygen contents 
delivery of $156. We propose to establish $101, or 65 percent of $156, 
as the monthly payment rate for delivery of larger, heavier, 
beneficiary-owned stationary gaseous oxygen cylinders or liquid oxygen 
vessels and $55, or 35 percent of $156, as the monthly payment rate for 
delivery of smaller, lighter, beneficiary-owned portable gaseous oxygen 
cylinders or liquid oxygen vessels. The 65/35 split is based on our 
understanding that there are higher costs associated with delivering 
stationary tanks (cylinders of gaseous oxygen and vessels of liquid 
oxygen) which are approximately twice as large as the portable tanks. 
Such costs include supplier overhead costs, including the costs to 
purchase, maintain, and dispatch trucks, obtain insurance, and purchase 
fuel. The 65/35 split is intended to account for the difference in 
costs associated with the size of the tanks. Larger tanks take up more 
space on the trucks, take longer to fill, are harder to move, and 
result in increased fuel costs.
    We estimate that the increase from $21 to $55 in the monthly 
payment rate for delivery of oxygen contents for beneficiary-owned 
portable equipment will result in increased expenditures of 
approximately $22 million over a 24 month period, or $11 million 
annually. This figure is based on current data on utilization of 
portable oxygen by Medicare beneficiaries.
    The add-on payment amount of $64 for the oxygen generating portable 
equipment class was calculated based on data indicating long term 
savings generated from use of equipment that eliminated the need for 
payment of $55 per month for portable oxygen contents. The first step 
in calculating the proposed $64 payment for oxygen generating portable 
equipment involves the computation of a national, enhanced, modality 
neutral monthly payment amount of $241 for new technology systems 
(stationary concentrators and transfilling systems, as well as portable 
concentrators), which was derived from the sum of the current average 
stationary payment ($199), the current average portable add-on payment 
($32), and an additional $10 to pay suppliers for furnishing more 
expensive equipment that eliminates the need for delivery of portable 
oxygen contents. Specifically, we calculated the modality neutral 
increased payment (that is, $10 above the current combination of the 
stationary payment and portable add-on payment) by estimating potential 
savings that the Medicare program would realize as a result of not 
having to pay for delivery of oxygen contents for beneficiary-owned 
portable oxygen systems in the fourth and fifth years of use. We 
calculated the increased payment to be equal to potential savings from 
not delivering oxygen contents. In calculating this increased payment, 
we are only factoring in savings from the fourth and fifth years of use 
since we assume that most beneficiaries will elect to obtain 
replacement equipment after the 5-year reasonable useful lifetime for 
their equipment has expired. Since our data indicates that 35.8 percent 
of beneficiaries will use oxygen equipment for more than three years, 
and that approximately 74 percent of these beneficiaries use portable 
equipment, the $10 amount is calculated based on the following formula, 
and is rounded to the nearest dollar:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TP03AU06.000

    We estimate that the additional $10 payment per month for oxygen 
generating portable equipment (transfilling units and portable 
concentrators) will result in increased expenditures of approximately 
$15 million over a 36 month period, or $5 million annually. This figure 
is based on current data on utilization of stationary and portable 
oxygen by Medicare beneficiaries over 36 months.
    The second step in calculating the proposed $64 add-on payment for 
the

[[Page 44098]]

proposed new class of oxygen generating portable equipment involves 
subtracting the proposed new stationary payment. Therefore, the 
national monthly payment of $241 computed in the first step above would 
be reduced by $177, the proposed new adjusted stationary payment 
amount, to arrive at the proposed add-on payment of $64 for just the 
oxygen generating portable equipment. In addition, to offset the 
increased annual payments of approximately $16 million that will result 
from increased payments for portable oxygen contents ($11 million) and 
newer technology oxygen generating portable equipment ($5 million), we 
would propose to decrease the current stationary payment by $22 ($199 - 
$177). We estimate that this offset would result in annual Medicare 
savings of approximately $16 million, and would therefore offset the 
increased payments for new technology oxygen generating portable 
equipment and delivery of oxygen contents for other beneficiary-owned 
portable equipment. We are proposing that these fees be established on 
a nationwide basis due to the fact that the variation in the current 
statewide fee schedule amounts for oxygen and oxygen equipment, as well 
as the portable equipment add-on payment, are currently only 3 percent 
and 5 percent, respectively.
    We are proposing that the $64 add-on payment would be made for 
oxygen generating portable equipment only if the equipment eliminates 
the need for delivery or portable oxygen contents. However, if 
transfilling equipment is used in connection with a stationary oxygen 
concentrator (whether as an integrated system component or as a 
separate part) to both deliver stationary oxygen and fill portable 
oxygen tanks, Medicare would make both a $177 stationary payment for 
the stationary oxygen concentrator and stationary oxygen contents, and 
a separate $64 oxygen generating portable equipment payment for the 
portable oxygen transfilling equipment.
    There are also portable oxygen transfilling products that are not 
part of or used in conjunction with a stationary oxygen concentrator. 
These products are only used to fill portable oxygen tanks in the 
beneficiary's home. If the beneficiary is using one of these products, 
Medicare would make a $64 oxygen generating portable equipment payment. 
If the patient is also renting any type of stationary oxygen equipment 
(gaseous, liquid, or concentrator), Medicare would make a separate, 
additional $177 stationary equipment payment for that equipment.
    If a portable oxygen concentrator is furnished, Medicare would make 
the $64 oxygen generating portable equipment add-on payment if the 
portable oxygen concentrator is used as both the beneficiary's 
stationary oxygen equipment and portable oxygen equipment. In this 
case, the portable oxygen concentrator equipment would fall under both 
the stationary oxygen equipment class and the oxygen generating 
portable equipment class. Therefore, the $177 stationary payment would 
also be made in this situation, since the equipment being furnished 
meets the beneficiary's needs for both stationary and portable oxygen 
equipment. In this case, it would be necessary for the supplier to use 
two HCPCS codes to bill for this device since it is being used as both 
the stationary and portable oxygen equipment for the beneficiary. If 
the beneficiary owns any type of stationary equipment (concentrator, 
liquid, or gaseous), and is also furnished with a portable oxygen 
concentrator, only the oxygen generating payment of $64 would be made 
(that is, the supplier would not also receive the $177 payment) and the 
portable oxygen concentrator equipment would fall under the oxygen 
generating portable equipment class because it is only being used to 
meet the beneficiary's need for portable oxygen equipment. Finally, if, 
the beneficiary is renting any type of stationary equipment 
(concentrator, liquid, or gaseous), and is also furnished with a 
portable oxygen concentrator, the oxygen generating add-on payment of 
$64 would be paid for the portable oxygen concentrator and the 
stationary payment of $177 would be paid separately for the stationary 
oxygen equipment and contents.
    In summary, we are proposing new payment classes for oxygen 
contents for beneficiary-owned stationary equipment, oxygen contents 
for beneficiary-owned portable equipment, and oxygen generating 
portable equipment. Payments for oxygen contents for beneficiary-owned 
portable equipment and oxygen generating portable equipment would 
exceed what is currently paid for these items to ensure access to 
portable oxygen regardless of the type of equipment used. These 
increased payments would be offset by a reduction in the stationary 
payment. The six broad categories of oxygen equipment used by 
beneficiaries are as follows:

A. Concentrator and liquid or gaseous portable equipment
B. Concentrator and/or oxygen generating portable equipment
C. Liquid or gaseous stationary equipment and liquid or gaseous 
portable equipment
D. Liquid or gaseous stationary equipment and oxygen generating 
portable equipment
E. Concentrator only
F. Liquid or gaseous stationary equipment only

    Based on our proposed new payment classes, Medicare payment under 
these six categories would be as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                               Contents for
                           Category                               Equipment rental and      beneficiary-owned
                                                                        contents                equipment
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A.............................................................        $209 ($177 + $32)                      $55
B.............................................................         241 ($177 + $64)                        0
C.............................................................         209 ($177 + $32)         156 ($101 + $55)
D.............................................................         241 ($177 + $64)                      101
E.............................................................                      177                        0
F.............................................................                      177                      101
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We are proposing to revise our regulations in order to implement 
these new payment classes and payment amounts, effective for claims 
with dates of service on or after January 1, 2007.

J. Payment for Maintenance and Servicing of Oxygen and Oxygen Equipment 
and Capped Rental Items

    Immediately following passage of the DRA, concerns were raised 
regarding the ability of a beneficiary to obtain maintenance and 
servicing of his or her DME once he or she has taken title to it. We 
believe that these concerns are largely based on misconceptions that 
the beneficiary will ``be on his or her own'' in terms of maintenance 
and

[[Page 44099]]

servicing of equipment and submission of claims for payment for these 
services. We believe that these concerns are unfounded because Medicare 
payment has traditionally been made for reasonable and necessary repair 
and maintenance of beneficiary-owned DME. In addition, section 
1834(a)(5)(F)(ii)(II)(bb) of the Act, as amended by section 
5101(b)(1)(B) of the DRA, requires that Medicare continue to pay for 
reasonable and necessary maintenance and servicing for parts and labor 
that is not covered under a manufacturer's or supplier's warranty in 
amounts determined to be appropriate by the Secretary.
    Medicare has also traditionally paid for loaner equipment used 
while the beneficiary's equipment is being repaired, or in some cases, 
when the beneficiary does not have access to the equipment (for 
example, in cases when a natural disaster such as a hurricane forces 
the beneficiary to be evacuated from his or her home). We are proposing 
to continue Medicare payment for such loaner equipment.
    We are not aware of instances where beneficiaries have encountered 
problems in finding suppliers to provide maintenance and servicing of 
beneficiary-owned DME. Section 414.210(e) of our regulations currently 
provides that reasonable and necessary charges for maintenance and 
servicing of DME are those charges made for parts and labor not 
otherwise covered under a manufacturer's or supplier's warranty. This 
definition has been applied in paying claims for maintenance and 
servicing of beneficiary-owned DME for several years, and the wording 
of this regulatory definition is parallel to that used in amended 
sections 1834(a)(7)(A)(iv) and (a)(5)(F)(ii)(II)(bb) of the Act in 
describing the ``maintenance and servicing'' payments that are 
permitted for capped rental DME and oxygen equipment after title has 
transferred to the beneficiary. We are proposing to continue use of 
this existing regulatory definition to define ``maintenance and 
servicing'' in section 5101 of the DRA. We would, however, also propose 
to apply our existing policy of not covering certain routine 
maintenance or periodic servicing of purchased equipment, such as 
testing, cleaning, regulating, changing filters, and general inspection 
of beneficiary-owned DME that can be done by the beneficiary or 
caregiver, to beneficiary-owned oxygen equipment and to continue that 
policy for beneficiary-owned capped rental equipment. As specified in 
current program instructions at section 110.2.B of chapter 15 of the 
Medicare Benefit Policy Manual (Pub. 100-02), ``the owner [of the 
equipment] is expected to perform such routine maintenance rather than 
a retailer or some other person who charges the beneficiary.'' We 
expect that the supplier, when transferring title to the equipment to 
the beneficiary, would also provide to the beneficiary any operating 
manuals published by the manufacturer which describe the servicing an 
owner may perform to properly maintain the equipment. We also believe 
that these owner manuals are commonly available at the various 
manufacturer Web sites. In addition, the Durable Medical Equipment, 
Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) supplier standards at 
Sec.  424.57(c)(12) require suppliers to provide the beneficiary with 
necessary information and instructions on how to use DME items safely 
and effectively. We believe that after receiving this information, and 
after becoming familiar with the equipment during the 13 or 36 month 
rental period, the beneficiary and/or caregiver should be very 
knowledgeable regarding the routine maintenance required for the item. 
All non-routine maintenance of beneficiary-owned oxygen equipment and 
capped rental items which would need to be performed by authorized 
technicians would be covered as reasonable and necessary maintenance 
and servicing. Examples of the types of maintenance that would be 
covered are currently listed in program instructions at section 110.2.B 
of chapter 15 of the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual (Pub. 100-02) and 
include ``breaking down sealed components and performing tests which 
require specialized testing equipment not available to the 
beneficiary.''
    We are proposing that maintenance and servicing of beneficiary-
owned oxygen equipment and capped rental items would be reasonable and 
necessary if it is non-routine maintenance and servicing necessary to 
make the equipment serviceable. Payment is currently made under the 
Medicare program for parts and labor associated with repairing 
beneficiary-owned DME. Medicare allowed payment amounts for replacement 
parts are currently paid based on the carrier's individual 
consideration of the item. With regard to replacement parts for 
beneficiary-owned oxygen equipment or capped rental equipment, we 
propose that the carrier pay for the parts in a lump sum amount based 
on its consideration of the cost of the item, as is consistent with 
what our carriers currently do when evaluating maintenance and 
servicing claims for other beneficiary-owned DME. Currently, payment 
for labor is based on 15-minute increments in amounts that are 
established by the carriers and updated on an annual basis by the same 
factor specified in section 1834(a)(14) of the Act, which is used to 
update fee schedule amounts for DME. We are proposing that the carriers 
use the same fee for labor that is currently used in paying for labor 
associated with repairing, maintaining, and servicing other 
beneficiary-owned DME, as we are not aware of any past problems 
associated with access to these services paid at these rates. We 
believe that the current methods and fees used by carriers in paying 
for maintenance and servicing of beneficiary-owned DME are reasonable 
given that we are not aware of any past problems associated with access 
to these services paid at these rates. In most cases, neither the 
Medicare program nor the beneficiary actually pays the full amount for 
repairing or maintaining an item since manufacturer warranties that 
cover all or part of these costs are widespread. For example, some 
manufacturers of commonly used oxygen concentrators offer full 
warranties that cover all parts and labor for 5 years. Rules in Sec.  
414.210(f) regarding replacement of DME that has been in continuous use 
for the equipment's reasonable useful lifetime provide that the 
beneficiary can elect to obtain replacement equipment after the 
reasonable useful lifetime for the equipment has expired. Therefore, we 
believe that the beneficiary should incur little, if any, expense for 
repair or maintenance of necessary equipment in cases where 
manufacturer warranties exist that cover parts and labor necessary to 
repair a new item during a 5-year period.

K. Payment for Replacement of Beneficiary-Owned Oxygen Equipment, 
Capped Rental Items, and Associated Supplies and Accessories

    Medicare has traditionally paid for replacement beneficiary-owned 
DME after the expiration of the equipment's useful lifetime (see Sec.  
414.210(f) and Sec.  414.229(g) of our regulations), and for 
replacement supplies and accessories used in conjunction with 
beneficiary-owned DME when these supplies and accessories are necessary 
for the effective use of the DME (see Sec.  110.3 of Chapter 15 of the 
Medicare Benefit Policy Manual (Pub. 100-02)). Examples of supplies 
include drugs and administration sets used with infusion pumps. 
Examples of accessories include masks and tubing used with respiratory 
equipment. We are proposing to apply these policies to beneficiary-
owned oxygen equipment, as well as the

[[Page 44100]]

supplies and accessories used in conjunction with this equipment, and 
to continue to apply these policies to beneficiary-owned capped rental 
items, as well as the supplies and accessories used in conjunction with 
these items.
    Specifically, we are proposing to update Sec.  414.210(f) and Sec.  
414.229(g) of our regulations to reflect that payment may be made for 
the replacement of beneficiary-owned oxygen equipment and capped rental 
DME in cases where the item is lost, stolen, or irreparably damaged, or 
in cases where the item has been in continuous use for its reasonable 
useful lifetime. We propose that payment for the replacement be made on 
a rental basis in accordance with the payment rules in Sec.  414.226 
for oxygen equipment and Sec.  414.229 for capped rental items. We also 
propose to revise Sec.  414.229 to reflect that these proposed changes 
to the replacement policy for beneficiary-owned capped rental items 
only apply to those items for which the first rental month occurs on or 
after January 1, 2007 since the DRA does not apply to capped rental 
items for which the first rental month occurs before January 1, 2006. 
The current rules will remain in place for capped rental items to which 
the DRA does not apply.
    We are aware that some manufacturer warranties may cover 
replacement of oxygen or capped rental equipment within a certain time 
period after the item is furnished. As was our policy prior to the 
enactment of DRA (see Sec.  110.2.C of Chapter 15 of the Medicare 
Benefit Policy Manual (Pub. 100-02)), we are proposing that Medicare 
not pay for the replacement of beneficiary-owned oxygen equipment or 
capped rental items covered by a manufacturer's or supplier's warranty. 
In cases where equipment replacement is not covered by a manufacturer's 
or supplier's warranty, we propose that the supplier must still replace 
beneficiary-owned oxygen equipment or beneficiary-owned capped rental 
items at no cost to the beneficiary or to the Medicare program if: (1) 
The total accumulated costs, as illustrated in the example below, to 
repair the item after transfer of title to the beneficiary exceed 60 
percent of the replacement cost; and (2) the item has been in 
continuous use for less than its reasonable useful lifetime, as 
established in accordance with the procedures set forth in proposed 
revised Sec.  414.210(f). For example, a capped rental item that can be 
replaced for $1,000 (total of fee schedule payments after 13 rental 
months) and for which title has transferred to the beneficiary in 
accordance with section 1834(a)(7)(A)(ii) of the Act can be used to 
illustrate what we mean when we use the term ``accumulated costs'' 
above. In this example, if Medicare has paid a total of $500 for 3 
repairs necessary to make the item functional, and a fourth repair 
costing $200 is needed in order to make the item functional, the 
accumulated costs for repair in this case will equal $700, which 
exceeds $600 or 60 percent of the $1,000 cost to replace the item. In 
this case, and therefore the supplier would be required to furnish a 
replacement item. The greater than 60 percent of cost threshold for 
replacement is consistent with the threshold repair costs that can 
result in the replacement of prosthetics (artificial limbs) in 
accordance with section 1834(h)(1)(G) of the Act. We believe this 
threshold should apply to oxygen equipment and capped rental items as 
well, because artificial limbs, like these items, are built to 
withstand repeated use.
    We propose that the supplier be responsible for the cost of the 
replacement equipment because we believe that the item in this case did 
not last for the entire reasonable useful lifetime. After the 
beneficiary acquires title to the item, the supplier that transferred 
title would be responsible for furnishing the replacement item. We are 
proposing this provision to safeguard the beneficiary from receiving, 
and the Medicare program from paying for, substandard equipment, and to 
avoid creating an incentive for suppliers to increase the number of 
claims submitted for repairs in an effort to recover revenue lost as a 
result of DRA section 5101. We believe that this requirement is not 
unreasonable since suppliers should be furnishing items in good working 
order and are otherwise bound by regulations at Sec.  424.57(c)(15) to 
accept returns from beneficiaries of substandard items. Exceptions to 
this rule may be granted by CMS or the carrier as appropriate (for 
example, the supplier would not be responsible for replacing an item in 
need of repair due to beneficiary neglect or abuse).

L. Periods of Continuous Use

    Rules that apply in determining a period of continuous use for 
rental of DME are found at Sec.  414.230 of our regulations. We are 
proposing that these rules would continue to apply in implementing 
section 5101 of the DRA, with one exception. The rules in Sec.  
414.230(f) provide that a new period of continuous use begins for new 
or additional equipment prescribed by a physician and found to be 
medically necessary, even if the new or additional equipment is similar 
to the old equipment.
    Medicare payments for stationary and portable oxygen and oxygen 
equipment are currently modality neutral, which means that the same 
payment amounts apply to the different types of oxygen equipment 
furnished to Medicare beneficiaries. Since there is no distinction made 
between oxygen equipment modalities for payment purposes under the 
Medicare program, we do not believe that it is necessary or appropriate 
to begin a new period of continuous use when the beneficiary changes 
from one oxygen equipment modality to another. We are proposing to 
revise Sec.  414.230(f) of our regulations to designate the existing 
language in this section as paragraph (f)(1) and to add a new paragraph 
(f)(2) to reflect this exception, effective for oxygen equipment 
furnished on or after January 1, 2007. We are also proposing to revise 
Sec.  414.230(b) to incorporate section 5101(b)(2)(B) of the DRA, which 
provides that for all beneficiaries receiving oxygen equipment paid for 
under section 1834(a) on December 31, 2005, the period of continuous 
use begins on January 1, 2006.

M. Health Care Information Transparency and Health Information 
Technology

    (If you choose to comment on issues in this section, please include 
the caption ``Health Care Information Transparency and Health 
Information Technology'' at the beginning of your comment.)
    In the April 25, 2006 Inpatient Prospective Payment Systems 
proposed rule (71 FR 23996), we discussed in detail the Health Care 
Information Transparency Initiative and our efforts to promote 
effective use of health information technology (HIT) as a means to help 
improve health care quality and improve efficiency. Specifically, with 
regard to the transparency initiative, we discussed several potential 
options for making pricing and quality information available to the 
public (71 FR 24120 through 24121). We solicited comments on ways the 
Department can encourage transparency in health care quality and 
pricing whether through its leadership on voluntary initiatives or 
through regulatory requirements. We also sought comments on the 
Department's statutory authority to impose such requirements. In 
addition, we discussed the potential for HIT to facilitate improvements 
in the quality and efficiency of health care services (71 FR 24100 
through 24101). We solicited comments on our statutory authority to 
encourage the adoption and

[[Page 44101]]

use of HIT. The 2007 Budget states that ``the Administration supports 
the adoption of health information technology (IT) as a normal cost of 
doing business to ensure patients receive high quality care.'' We also 
sought comments on the appropriate role of HIT in potential value-based 
purchasing programs, beyond the intrinsic incentives of a PPS to 
provide efficient care, encourage the avoidance of unnecessary costs, 
and increase quality of care. In addition, we sought comments on 
promotion of the use of effective HIT and how CMS can encourage its use 
in HHAs.
    We intend to consider both the health care information transparency 
initiative and the use of HIT as we refine and update all Medicare 
payment systems. Therefore, we seek comments on these initiatives as 
applied to HH PPS in this proposed rule, including the Department's 
statutory authority to impose any such requirements. We may address 
these initiatives in the final HH PPS rule. For example, a HIT proposal 
could include adding a requirement that HHAs use HIT that is compliant 
with and certified by the Certification Commission for Health 
Information Technology (CCHIT) in the areas in which the technology is 
available. As noted previously, we currently collect home health 
quality information and propose to collect additional quality data and 
report it on the CMS Home Health Compare Web site. We note that we are 
in the process of seeking input on these initiatives in various 
proposed Medicare payment rules being issued this year.

III. Collection of Information Requirements

    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we are required to 
provide 60-day notice in the Federal Register and solicit public 
comment before a collection of information requirement is submitted to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. In 
order to fairly evaluate whether an information collection should be 
approved by OMB, section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 requires that we solicit comment on the following issues:
     The need for the information collection and its usefulness 
in carrying out the proper functions of our agency.
     The accuracy of our estimate of the information collection 
burden.
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected.
     Recommendations to minimize the information collection 
burden on the affected public, including automated collection 
techniques.
    We are soliciting public comment on each of these issues for the 
following sections of this document that contain information collection 
requirements:

Section 414.226--Oxygen and Oxygen Equipment

    This section proposes to require a supplier to disclose to the 
beneficiary whether or not the supplier will accept assignment of all 
monthly rental claims for oxygen equipment for the duration of the 36-
month rental period.
    The burden associated with this requirement is the time and effort 
put forth by the supplier to disclose this information. While this 
information collection is subject to the PRA, we believe this 
requirement meets the requirements of 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2), and as such, 
the burden associated with this requirement is exempt from the PRA.

Section 414.229--Other Durable Medical Equipment-Capped Rental Items

    This section proposes to require a supplier to disclose to the 
beneficiary whether or not the supplier will accept assignment of all 
monthly rental claims for capped rental DME for the duration of the 13-
month rental period.
    The burden associated with this requirement is the time and effort 
put forth by the supplier to disclose this information. While this 
information collection is subject to the PRA, we believe this 
requirement meets the requirements of 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2), and as such, 
the burden associated with this requirement is exempt from the PRA.
    We have submitted a copy of this proposed rule to OMB for its 
review of the information collection requirements described above. 
These requirements are not effective until they have been approved by 
OMB.
    If you comment on these information collection and recordkeeping 
requirements, please mail copies directly to the following:

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Office of Strategic 
Operations and Regulatory Affairs, Division of Regulations Development, 
Attn: Melissa Musotto, [CMS-1304-P], Room C4-26-05, 7500 Security 
Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21244-1850; and

IV. Response to Comments

    Because of the large number of public comments we normally receive 
on Federal Register documents, we are not able to acknowledge or 
respond to them individually. We would consider all comments we receive 
by the date and time specified in the DATES section of this preamble, 
and, when we proceed with a subsequent document, we would respond to 
the comments in the preamble to that document.

V. Regulatory Impact Analysis

    [If you choose to comment on issues in this section, please include 
the caption ``REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS'' at the beginning of your 
comments.]

A. Overall Impact

    We have examined the impacts of this rule as required by Executive 
Order 12866 (September 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review), the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (September 19, 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 would be a major rule, 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 update set forth in this proposed rule 
would apply to Medicare payments under HH PPS in CY 2007. Accordingly, 
the following analysis describes the impact in CY 2007 only. We 
estimate that there would be an additional $420 million in CY 2007 
expenditures attributable to the CY 2007 proposed estimated home health 
market basket update of 3.1 percent.
    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 small government 
agencies. Most hospitals and most other providers and suppliers

[[Page 44102]]

are small entities, either by nonprofit status or by having revenues of 
$6 million to $29 million in any 1 year. For purposes of the RFA, 
approximately 75 percent of HHAs are considered small businesses 
according to the Small Business Administration's size standards with 
total revenues of $11.5 million or less in any 1 year. Individuals and 
States are not included in the definition of a small entity. As stated 
above, this proposed rule would provide an update to all HHAs for CY 
2007 as required by statute. This proposed rule would have a 
significant positive effect upon small entities that are HHAs.
    Based on our analysis of 2003 claims data, we also estimate that 
approximately 90 percent of registered DME suppliers are considered 
small businesses according to the Small Business Administration's size 
standards. The size standard for NAICS code, 532291, Home Health 
Equipment Rental is $6 million. (see http://www.sba.gov/size/sizetable2002.html, read May 9, 2005.) This proposed rule would reduce 
payments for oxygen equipment and capped rental items; and therefore, 
would have a significant negative effect upon small entities that are 
DME suppliers overall. However, as explained in detail below, we 
believe that Medicare payments would still be adequate for the items 
affected by this rule and that suppliers whose primary line of business 
involves furnishing these items will remain profitable.
    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 have determined that 
this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on the 
operations of a substantial number of small rural hospitals.
    Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 
104-4) 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 $120 million. We believe this proposed rule 
would not mandate expenditures in that amount.
    Executive Order 13132 establishes certain requirements that an 
agency must meet when it promulgates a proposed rule (and subsequent 
final rule) that imposes substantial direct requirement costs on State 
and local governments, preempts State law, or otherwise has Federalism 
implications. We have reviewed this rule under the threshold criteria 
of Executive Order 13132, Federalism. We have determined that this 
proposed rule would not have substantial direct effects on the rights, 
roles, and responsibilities of States.

B. Anticipated Effects

1. Home Health PPS
    This proposed rule would update the HH PPS rates contained in Pub. 
100-20, One Time Notification, Transmittal 211, published February 10, 
2006. We updated the rates in the CY 2006 final rule (70 FR 68132, 
November 9, 2005) through Transmittal 211 to take account of the DRA 
changes, specifically the 0 percent update and the rural add-on. The 
impact analysis of this proposed rule presents the projected effects of 
the proposed change from the CY 2006 transition wage index (50/50 blend 
of MSA-based and CBSA-based designations) to the CY 2007 proposed CBSA-
based designations in determining the wage index used to calculate the 
HH PPS rates for CY 2007. 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.
    This analysis incorporates the latest estimates of growth in 
service use and payments under the Medicare home health benefit, based 
on the latest available Medicare claims from 2004. 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 of such possible events 
are newly-legislated general Medicare program funding changes made by 
the Congress, or changes specifically related to HHAs. In addition, 
changes to the Medicare program may continue to be made as a result of 
the BBA, the BBRA, the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits 
Improvement and Protection Act of 2000, the MMA, the DRA, or new 
statutory provisions. Although these changes may not be specific to HH 
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 HHAs.
    Our discussion for this proposed rule will focus on the impact of 
changes in the wage index, most notably the adoption of the full CBSA 
designations. The impacts of the updated wage data are shown in Table 9 
below. The breakdown of the various impacts displayed in the table 
follows.
    The rows display the estimated effect of the proposed changes on 
different categories. The first row of figures represents the estimated 
effects on all facilities. The next 2 rows show the effect on urban and 
rural facilities. This is followed, in the next 4 rows, by impacts on 
urban and rural facilities based on whether they are a hospital-based 
or freestanding facility. The next 20 rows show the effect on urban and 
rural facilities based on the census region in which they are located.
    The first column shows the breakdown of all HHAs by urban or rural 
status, hospital-based or freestanding status, and census division.
    The second column in the table shows the number of facilities in 
the impact database. A facility is considered urban if it is located in 
a CBSA and, conversely, rural if it is not located in a CBSA.
    The third column of the table shows the effect of the proposed 
annual update to the wage index. This represents the effect of using 
the most recent wage data available to determine the proposed estimated 
home health market basket update. The total impact of this change is -
0.1 percent; however, there are distributional effects of the change.
    The fourth column of the table shows the effect of all the changes 
on the proposed CY 2007 payments. The proposed estimated market basket 
update of 3.1 percentage points is constant for all providers and, 
though not shown individually, is included in this column. It is 
projected that total aggregate payments would increase by 3.0 percent, 
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, HHAs in the rural Pacific show the largest estimated increase 
in payment at 10.3 percent, while HHAs in the rural Mountain census 
division show the smallest increase in payments at 0.5 percent. Rural 
HHAs do somewhat better than urban HHAs, seeing an estimated increase 
in payments of 3.3 percent and 2.9 percent respectively. Amongst the 
different type of facility categories, freestanding rural HHAs do

[[Page 44103]]

best, with an estimated increase in payments of 3.5 percent. Hospital-
based urban HHAs are next with an estimated increase in payments of 3.2 
percent with hospital-based rural and freestanding urban HHAs with 
estimated increases of 3.1 percent and 2.8 percent, respectively.

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

    The impact of the proposed wage index for CY 2007 is shown in 
Addendum C to this document. Addendum C to this document shows a side-
by-side comparison, by State and county code, of the CY 2006 transition 
wage index, which was a 50/50 blend of MSA-based and CBSA-based pre-
floor, pre-reclassified hospital wage indexes, and the proposed CY 2007 
pre-floor, pre-reclassified hospital wage index for the CY 2007 HH PPS 
update. In the last column of Addendum C to this document, we show the 
percentage change in the wage index from CY 2006 to the proposed wage 
index for CY 2007.
    We estimate that there would be an additional $420 million in CY 
2007 expenditures attributable to the CY 2007 proposed estimated market 
basket (3.1 percent) increase. Thus, the anticipated expenditures 
outlined in this proposed rule would exceed the $100 million annual 
threshold for a major rule as defined in Title 5, USC, section 804(2).
    This proposed rule would have a positive effect on providers of 
Medicare home health services by increasing their Medicare payment 
rates. It is anticipated that very few HHAs will not submit the quality 
data required by section 1895(b)(3)(B)(v)(II)of the Act necessary to 
receive the full market basket percentage increase. Submission of OASIS 
data is a Medicare condition of participation for HHAs. Therefore, one 
would expect that no HHA would be subject to the 2 percent reduction in 
payments in CY 2007. As indicated in the rule, most HHAs that do not 
report OASIS provide pediatric, non-Medicare, or personal care only. 
However, CMS is aware of instances of non-compliance among a very small 
portion of HHAs with regard to OASIS submission.
    For the purposes of the CY 2007 impact analysis, we anticipate that 
less than 1 percent of HHAs, involving less than 1 percent of total 
Medicare HH payments, would fail to submit quality data and hence would 
be subject to the 2 percent reduction. This is not enough to impact the 
estimated $420 million in additional expenditures. Finally, we do not 
believe there is a differential impact due to the aggregate nature of 
the update. We do not anticipate specific effects on other providers.
2. Oxygen and Oxygen Equipment Provisions
    As mandated by the DRA of 2005, this proposed rule limits to 36 
months the total number of continuous months for which Medicare would 
pay for oxygen equipment, after which the title to the oxygen equipment 
would be transferred from the supplier to the beneficiary. Since 
Medicare currently pays for oxygen equipment on a monthly basis for as 
long as it is medically necessary, this change would result in savings 
to Medicare. In addition, the DRA mandates that Medicare continue to 
make monthly payments for furnishing contents for beneficiary-owned 
oxygen equipment.
    Close to a million patients now receive oxygen therapy. Although 
monthly rental payments already have been reduced by 30 percent by 
section 4552 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and approximately 10 
percent by section 302(c)(2) of the Medicare Prescription Drug, 
Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, Medicare allowed charges 
rose to $2.78 billion by 2004, a 71 percent increase since 1998 that 
reflects the growing use. Before the

[[Page 44104]]

amendments to section 1834(a)(5) of the Act made by the DRA, Medicare 
continued to make rental payments for as long as medical necessity 
continued, even when the total payments greatly exceeded the cost of 
purchasing the equipment and the supplier retained title to the 
equipment. We believe the DRA amendments to the Act will result in a 
loss of revenue to suppliers that will no longer receive payments for 
oxygen equipment after the 36th month of continuous use.
    Based on data for items furnished in calendar year 2004, oxygen 
concentrators accounted for over 93 percent of Medicare utilization for 
stationary oxygen systems, in terms of both allowed charges and allowed 
services. Since oxygen concentrators can typically be purchased for 
$1,000 or less, we believe that 36 months of payment at approximately 
$200 per month would ensure the supplier is reimbursed for its cost for 
furnishing the equipment. The $200 allowed payment amount may be re-
adjusted in the future to assure that payments are adequate, but not 
excessive. This could be accomplished though the competitive 
acquisition programs mandated by section 1847 of the Act or in 
accordance with our authority for adjusting fee schedule amounts at 
section 1842(b)(8) and (9) of the Act. Based on our data, approximately 
36 percent of Medicare beneficiaries use oxygen equipment for more than 
3 years and approximately 20 percent of Medicare beneficiaries use 
oxygen equipment for more than 5 years. In section K of the 
``provisions of the proposed regulation section of this preamble,'' we 
propose to allow beneficiaries to obtain replacement oxygen equipment 
in cases where their equipment has been in continuous use for the 
reasonable useful lifetime of the equipment. Unless CMS or its carriers 
establish a specific reasonable useful lifetime for oxygen equipment, 
the default lifetime for DME of 5 years would apply. The main effect of 
this rule on suppliers is that they will not be able to receive payment 
for the equipment beyond 36 months for approximately 36 percent of 
Medicare patients. They will also not be able to receive payment for 
furnishing the same item to subsequent patients in these cases since 
they lose title to the equipment. In the case of oxygen concentrator 
systems and portable oxygen transfilling systems, delivery of oxygen 
contents is not necessary, and therefore, payment will not be made for 
the furnishing of contents for these types of beneficiary owned 
equipment. Under the old payment rules, payment for oxygen 
concentrators used for stationary equipment purposes would have 
continued at approximately $200 per month for the entire period of 
medical need. Section 5101(b) of the DRA mandates that payment for 
oxygen equipment end and that title to the equipment transfer after 36 
months of continuous use.
    In the case of liquid and gaseous oxygen systems, suppliers will 
continue to be paid for furnishing oxygen contents for beneficiary-
owned systems. The current statewide monthly payment amounts for oxygen 
and oxygen equipment that would be paid during the 36-month period of 
continuous use for beneficiaries who only use stationary equipment 
range from $194.48 to $200.41, with the average statewide fee being 
$199.36. The current statewide monthly payment amount for furnishing 
oxygen contents for beneficiary owned equipment range from $137.54 to 
$198.12, with the average statewide fee being $156.07. The average 
decrease in Medicare fee schedule amounts that may result from the DRA 
changes for liquid and gaseous systems after the 36-month period (that 
is, shift from monthly payments for equipment and contents to monthly 
payments for contents only), is expected to be $43.29 ($199.36-
$156.07). Therefore, this is the level of monthly reimbursement that 
would be lost after the 36-month period for suppliers that furnish 
oxygen and oxygen equipment to beneficiaries in these situations and 
who continue to furnish contents to these beneficiaries. Based on 
current fee schedule amounts for all oxygen and oxygen equipment, this 
equates to an average reduction in payment (from $199.36 to $156.07) of 
approximately 22 percent.
    At the current monthly statewide fee schedule rates, which range 
from $194.48 to $200.41, suppliers of oxygen equipment are expected to 
be paid from $7,001.28 to $7,214.76 over 36 months. By comparison, a 
medical center operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in 
Tampa, Florida, is the largest VA center in terms of number of veterans 
on oxygen therapy and services approximately 1,000 patients on oxygen 
by contracting with a locally based manufacturer to purchase the oxygen 
concentrators for $895 each. The medical center contracts with a local 
supplier for $90 to deliver and set up the concentrator to the 
patient's home. This local supplier also provides service and 
maintenance of the equipment at any time throughout the year for $48 
per service episode. If the equipment needs to be replaced, the local 
supplier will furnish another concentrator for a $90 fee. The VA total 
payments over 5 years for an oxygen concentrator used by a veteran in 
this center plus payment for ten episodes of maintenance and servicing, 
assuming servicing every 6 months, would be $1,435, compared to total 
Medicare allowed charges of $7,164, on average, for a Medicare 
beneficiary. Based on this comparison, the Medicare payment amounts and 
methodology appear to be more than adequate.
    We do not anticipate that transfer of ownership for oxygen 
equipment to the beneficiary after 36 months of continuous use would be 
a significant financial burden to suppliers because the effect is 
limited to a maximum of 36 percent of a supplier's Medicare business 
and because suppliers of oxygen equipment primarily furnish lower cost 
oxygen concentrators. We also do not anticipate a significant change in 
the rate of assignment of claims for oxygen equipment based on our 
belief that suppliers will be adequately reimbursed for furnishing the 
oxygen equipment.
    Finally, if new oxygen and oxygen equipment classes and payment 
amounts are established in accordance with the proposed provisions in 
section I of this rule, there could potentially be a shift in 
utilization between the various oxygen equipment modalities, which 
could impact supplier revenues and sales volume for certain oxygen 
equipment manufacturers. However, since use of the authority to create 
such classes under section 1834(a)(9)(D) of the Act requires that these 
changes be budget-neutral, there would not a significant impact on 
overall Medicare payments to suppliers.
3. Capped Rental DME
    This proposed rule, which limits to 13 months the total number of 
continuous months for which Medicare would pay for capped rental DME, 
after which the ownership of the capped rental item would be 
transferred from the supplier to the beneficiary, would result in 
significant savings for the Medicare program. Savings would be realized 
through: (1) The gradual elimination of rental payments for the 14th 
and 15th months of continuous use; and (2) changing the semi-annual 
payment for maintenance and servicing to payment only when reasonable 
and necessary maintenance and servicing is needed. We anticipate that 
suppliers may lose money due to the loss of 1 to 2 months rental in 
cases where beneficiaries need the item for more than 13 months and 
would not have otherwise selected the purchase option currently 
described in Sec.  414.229(d). The average of the 2006 fee schedule 
amounts for all capped rental

[[Page 44105]]

items for months 14 and 15 is approximately $152. We do not believe 
suppliers will suffer financially as a result of this provision based 
on data which shows that in 2004, 97 percent of suppliers accepted 
assignment for beneficiaries who chose the purchase option (Sec.  
414.229(d)) in the 11th month of a capped rental period. This is an 
indication that suppliers were willing to accept the Medicare payment 
as payment in full for the capped rental item, even though they had 
been informed that the beneficiary would take over ownership of the 
item after the 13th month of continuous use. Therefore, we do not 
anticipate that transfer of ownership for capped rental equipment to 
the beneficiary after 13 months of continuous use would be a 
significant financial burden to suppliers.
    For items for which the first rental payment falls on or after 
January 1, 2006, Medicare would only pay for maintenance and servicing 
as necessary. In a June 2002 report (OEI-03-00-00410), the Office of 
Inspector General (OIG) indicated that only 9 percent of the capped 
rental equipment with a June 2000 service date actually received any 
servicing between June and December 2000. Out of the $7.3 million 
Medicare paid for maintenance services from June 2000, we estimate that 
$6.5 million was paid for equipment that received no actual servicing. 
The OIG recommended to CMS in 2002 that we eliminate the semi-annual 
maintenance payment currently allowed for capped rental equipment and 
pay only for repairs when needed.
    The combination of these two factors provides strong evidence that 
the Medicare rules for paying for maintenance and servicing of capped 
rental equipment furnished before January 1, 2006, were not cost-
effective.
Impact on Beneficiaries
    The DRA provisions and this proposed rule would result in savings 
for Medicare beneficiaries using oxygen equipment and capped rental 
items. For capped rental items, Medicare payments will be made for 13 
continuous months and for oxygen equipment, payments will be made for 
36 continuous months. After the rental period for each category of 
equipment expires, ownership of the equipment will transfer from the 
suppliers to the beneficiaries. Beneficiaries will continue to be 
financially responsible for a 20 percent coinsurance payment during the 
13 or 36 month rental periods for capped rental items and oxygen 
equipment, respectively. However, beneficiaries will no longer have to 
make a monthly 20 percent coinsurance payment for the equipment after 
they own it. This will result in significant savings to beneficiaries.
    For example, before the DRA, Medicare and the beneficiary made 
continuous payments for the rental of oxygen equipment that totaled 
about $200 per month. Of this amount, the beneficiary paid coinsurance 
of $40 which would equal $480 for a single year's rental, $1,440 over 
36 months, and $2,400 over 5 years. After the DRA, beneficiaries will 
only pay a coinsurance amount for up to 36 months for the rental of 
oxygen equipment, after which time they will own the equipment. Thus, 
the DRA oxygen provisions result in savings of approximately $480 if 
beneficiaries use the equipment for 4 years, and $960 if they use the 
equipment for 5 years.
    For capped rental items, beneficiaries will save coinsurance by not 
being responsible for any equipment payment after the 13th rental month 
or the semi-annual maintenance and servicing payment that was 
approximately equal to 10 percent of the purchase price for the 
equipment. Before the DRA, Medicare and the beneficiary would pay up to 
15 months for capped rental items, and Medicare and the beneficiary 
would also pay for maintenance and servicing every six months. Thus, 
beneficiaries will save coinsurance payments related to both the 
equipment itself and the maintenance and servicing of that equipment.
    The proposed rule would assure beneficiaries that suppliers that 
furnish the equipment for the first month would continue to furnish the 
equipment for the entire 36-month period of continuous use for oxygen 
equipment or the 13-month period of continuous use for capped rental.
    Beneficiaries would also be assured that their oxygen and capped 
rental equipment would not be impermissibly swapped by the supplier at 
any time during the rental period. Under the proposed rule, we propose 
that a supplier may not provide different rented equipment to the 
beneficiary at any time during the 36 rental months for oxygen 
equipment or the 13 rental months for capped rental DME unless one of 
the following exceptions apply: The equipment is lost, stolen, or 
irreparably damaged; the equipment is being repaired while loaner 
equipment is in use; there is a change in the beneficiary's medical 
condition; or the carrier determines that a change in equipment is 
otherwise warranted.
    We are proposing that suppliers inform beneficiaries whether they 
will accept or not accept assignment on all monthly rental claims 
during the 13-month rental period for capped rental items or the 36-
month rental period for oxygen equipment in an upfront manner.
    The proposed rule would also assure beneficiaries that following 
the transfer of title, the supplier would replace the item at no cost 
to the beneficiary in cases where the accumulated costs of repair 
exceed 60 percent of the cost of replacement, if the reasonable useful 
lifetime of the item (currently a default period of 5 years) has not 
expired.

C. Accounting Statement

    As required by OMB Circular A-4 (available at ), http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a004/a-4.pdf) in Table 10 below, we

    (e) Maintenance and servicing.--(1) General rule. Except as 
provided in paragraph (e)(2) of this section, the carrier pays the 
reasonable and necessary charges for maintenance and servicing of 
beneficiary-owned equipment. Reasonable and necessary charges are those 
made for parts and labor not otherwise covered under a manufacturer's 
or supplier's warranty. Payment is made for replacement parts in a lump 
sum based on the carrier's consideration of the item. The carrier 
establishes a reasonable fee for labor associated with repairing, 
maintaining, and servicing the item. Payment is not made for 
maintenance and servicing of a rented item other than the maintenance 
and servicing fee for other durable medical equipment as described in 
Sec.  414.229(e).
    (2) Exception. For items purchased on or after June 1, 1989, no 
payment is made under the provisions of paragraph (e)(1) of this 
section for the maintenance and servicing of:
    (i) Items requiring frequent and substantial servicing, as defined 
in Sec.  414.222(a);
    (ii) Capped rental items, as defined in Sec.  414.229(a), that are 
not beneficiary-owned in accordance with Sec.  414.229(d) or Sec.  
414.229(h); and

accumulated repair costs. A supplier that transfers title to oxygen 
equipment or a capped rental item to a beneficiary in accordance with 
Sec.  414.226(f) or Sec.  414.229(f)(2) is responsible for furnishing 
replacement equipment at no cost to the beneficiary or to the Medicare 
program if the total repair costs that accumulate for the equipment 
after transfer of title exceed 60 percent of the cost to replace the 
equipment and the equipment has been in use for less than its 
reasonable useful lifetime, as determined under Sec.  414.210(f)(1).
    (f) Payment for replacement of equipment. If a beneficiary-owned 
item of DME or a prosthetic or orthotic device paid for under this 
subpart has been in continuous use by the patient for the equipment's 
reasonable useful lifetime or if the carrier determines that the item 
is lost, stolen, or irreparably damaged, the patient may elect to 
obtain a new piece of equipment.
* * * * *
    (2) If the beneficiary elects to obtain replacement oxygen 
equipment, payment is made in accordance with Sec.  414.226(a).
