ACTION:

SUMMARY:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In FR Doc. 07-1920 of May 3, 2007 (72 FR 24680), there were a number of technical errors that are identified and corrected in the Correction of Errors section of this notice. We issued the fiscal year (FY) 2008 hospital inpatient prospective payment systems (IPPS) proposed rule on April 13, 2007. The FY 2008 IPPS proposed rule appeared in the May 3, 2007 Federal Register .
II. Summary of Errors
We recently discovered that an error was made in the calculation of the DRG relative weights presented in the FY 2008 IPPS proposed rule. We have revised the relative weights to correct the error and have recalculated the standardized amounts. These changes increase the standardized amounts slightly and reduce the proposed FY 2008 outlier threshold by $85. Further, these revisions affect the DRG-specific costs thresholds for new technology add-on payments. Therefore, in this notice we are correcting the following:
• Preamble language regarding the methodology used to calculate charge-based and cost-based relative weights.
• Outlier threshold.
• Recalibration, wage and recalibration, geographic reclassification, and rural floor budget neutrality factors.
• Tables 1A through 1D, 2, 4A, 4C, 4J, 5, 10.
• Impact analysis tables (Tables I and II).
In addition, we have posted these corrected tables on our Web site at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/AcuteInpatientPPS/WIFN/list.asp.
III. Correction of Errors

"Beginning with FY 2008, because hospital charges include charges for both operating and capital costs, we are proposing to standardize total charges to remove the effects of differences in geographic adjustment factors, large urban add-on payments, cost-of-living adjustment, disproportionate share payments, and IME adjustments under the capital IPPS as well."
3. On page 24747, first column, third full paragraph, last line, after the phrase "cost of living adjustment." and before the phrase "Charges were then", the following sentence is added to read as follows:

6 Shown here are the tentative effects of geographic reclassifications by the Medicare Geographic Classification Review Board (MGCRB). The effects demonstrate the FY 2008 payment impact of going from no reclassifications to the reclassifications scheduled to be in effect for FY 2008. Reclassification for prior years has no bearing on the payment impacts shown here. This column reflect the geographic budget neutrality factor of 0.991925.
7 This column displays the effects of the proposed changes in the rural floor budget neutrality adjustment applied on the wage index instead of on the standardized amount. The column reflects a proposed rural floor budget neutrality factor of 0.997080.
11 This column shows tentative changes in payments from FY 2007 to FY 2008 including a 0.976 case mix index adjustment for coding and documentation improvements that are anticipated with the adoption of the MS-DRGs prior to the assumed growth occurring. In incorporates all of the changes displayed in Columns 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and (the changes displayed in Columns 2 and 3 are included in Column 4).
12 This column shows tentative changes in payments from FY 2007 to FY 2008 with a case mix index adjustment and the assumed growth for improvements in documentation and coding. It incorporates all of the changes displayed inColumns 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and (the changes displayed in Columns 2 and 3 are included in Column 4). It also reflects the impact of the proposed FY 2008 update, and changes in hospitals' reclassification status in FY 2008 compared to FY 2007. The sum of these impacts may be different from the percentage changes shown here due to rounding and interactive effects.
