ACTION: Final rule; correcting 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: In the October 7, 2004 

Federal Register (69 FR 60242), we 

published a correction to the final rule 

that appeared in the August 11, 2004 

Federal Register entitled ‘‘Medicare 

Program; Changes to the Hospital 

Inpatient Prospective Payment Systems 

and Fiscal Year 2005 Rates.’’ This 

amendment corrects errors in that final 

rule and the correction of the final rule.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Summary of Errors 

In FR Doc. 04–17943 (69 FR 48916, 

August 11, 2004) the final rule entitled 

‘‘Medicare Program; Changes to the 

Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment 

Systems and Fiscal Year 2005 Rates’’ 

(hereinafter referred to as the FY 2005 

final rule) there were a number of errors. 

Some of these errors were identified and 

corrected in the correction of the final 

rule that was published in the October 

7, 2004 Federal Register.

We note that sections II.A., II.B., II.C. 

items 1 through 11 and 13, and II.D. of 

this correcting amendment apply to 

IPPS payments effective October 1, 

2004, as if they had been included 

correctly in the FY 2005 final rule. Items 

12 and 14 through 29 of section II.C. 

apply to discharges occurring on or after 

January 1, 2005. 

A. Summary of Preamble Errors 

In the FY 2005 final rule, we 

identified codes for spinal fusion 

procedures that were to be used in 

various combinations to identify cases 

that are eligible to receive new 

technology add-on payments for bone 

morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) for 

spinal fusion (69 FR 49009). We made 

an error in listing the spinal fusion 

codes for the Stryker Biotech OP–1 

Putty product. FDA approved the use of 

OP–1 Putty for refusion of the spine 

with a posterior approach (codes 81.35 

and 81.38) but not for initial spinal 

fusions (codes 81.05 and 81.08). It is our 

policy to restrict the payment of new 

technology add-on payments only to 

cases in which FDA-approved 

indications are present. Therefore, we 

should not have included codes 81.05 

and 81.08 in the final rule as procedure 

codes that could be used with OP–1 

Putty in order to receive new technology 

add-on payments. As a result, the 

correct codes for receiving the OP–1 

Putty BMP new technology payments 

are 84.52 (for the BMP) and either 81.35 

or 81.38 (for the refusion of the spine 

with a posterior approach) and without 

code 84.51 for the LT Cage. 

This correction, which removes codes 

81.05 and 81.08 from the new 

technology logic for Stryker Biotech 

OP–1 Putty, reflects our policy of not 

making new technology add-on 

payments for off-label uses. Currently 

there is no plan to release a January 

Pricer update; therefore, the next the 

update of the Pricer would probably be 

effective April 1, 2005. However, we do 

not believe that payment will be made 

for many cases as a result of this error. 

The FDA approved OP–1 Putty under a 

humanitarian device exemption (HDE). 

As a result, the FDA has imposed a 

strict limitation on the number of cases 

in which the product can be used. In 

addition, an independent review board 

reviews each case in which OP–1 Putty 

will be used to ensure that the use of the 

product is in the best interest of the 

patient. Therefore, we expect off-label 

use of the product will be minimal and 

we will not try to recover monies paid 

on claims reporting codes 81.05 and 

81.08 in conjunction with the code for 

OP–1 Putty (84.52) that receive add-on 

payments during the 6-month period 

from October 1, 2004 through March 31, 

2005. 

Finally, we are not modifying the new 

technology payments for the InFUSE TM

product because the code logic adopted 

in the FY 2005 final rule reflects FDAapproval criteria. However, we are 

making some revisions to our discussion 

of the code logic for InFUSE TM in order 

to clarify our policy of making add-on 

payments only for FDA-approved uses 

of this technology. (See II.A. of this 

correcting amendment for these 

revisions.) 

B. Summary of Regulations Text Errors 

In the FY 2005 final rule, we made an 

error in adding new § 412.230(d). 

Subparagraph (C) was inadvertently 

added to a nonexistent paragraph 

(d)(3)(iii) instead of (d)(1)(iii) (69 FR 

49249). In the October 7, 2004 

correction of the final rule, we also 

erred by adding a new subparagraph (B) 

to § 412.230(d)(3)(ii). In section II of this 

correcting amendment, we are 

amending § 412.230(d)(1)(iii) to add the 

subparagraph (C) that was inadvertently 

placed in paragraph (d)(3)(iii); revising 

paragraph (d)(1)(iii)(B) to reflect the 

language that was inadvertently placed 

in (d)(3)(ii)(B); making editorial changes 

to paragraphs (d)(3)(i) and (ii); and 

revising paragraph (d)(3) to reflect the 

correct text. (See section II.B. item 1 of 

this correcting amendment.) 

The FY 2005 final rule (69 FR 49251) 

included § 412.534 regarding special 

payment provisions for long-term care 

hospitals-within-hospitals (HwHs) and 

satellites of long-term care hospitals 

(LTCHs). The LTCH prospective 

payment system (PPS) is a per discharge 

system and therefore the specific 

payment adjustment implemented in 

this regulation will be made for each 

Medicare patient who is discharged 

from the LTCH HwH or satellite of a 

LTCH during a cost reporting period if 

that patient was admitted to the LTCH 

or satellite of a LTCH from the host 

hospital and if the number of such 

patients exceeds specific thresholds 

(detailed in other sections of the 

regulation). We believe that adding the 

term ‘‘discharged’’ before the phrase 

‘‘Medicare inpatient population’’ and 

changing the term ‘‘referred’’ to 

‘‘admitted’’ (with regard to the source of 

patients) in the following subsections of 

the regulatory text will increase the 

clarity of our policy at § 412.534(c)(1), 

(c)(2), (d)(1), and (e)(1). Our policy goal 

in establishing § 412.534 is to 

distinguish between those LTCH HwHs 

and satellites that are functioning as 

totally separate providers from their 

host hospital and those that are 

behaving as units of the host, a 

configuration that is statutorily 

precluded and to provide a payment 

adjustment under the LTCH PPS when 

the LTCH HwH or satellite behaves like 

a unit. We have determined that this 

distinction can best be reflected by 

focusing on the percentage of total 

discharges from a LTCH HwH or 

satellite for a particular cost reporting 

period that were admitted from the host. 

(This policy rationale was first 

articulated in the September 1, 1994 

IPPS final rule (59 FR 45389)). This 

policy is articulated on numerous pages 

in the preamble of the IPPS final rule 

(69 FR 48916, 49196, 49198, 49201, 

49206, and 49213). The use of the term 

‘‘referred’’ is imprecise with regards to 

this policy and we are correcting the 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 250 / Thursday, December 30, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 78527

regulation text to more precisely mirror 

the final policy as established in the 

preamble (see 69 FR 49196). Further 

clarifying the same policy, we are 

revising the phrase ‘‘threshold for 

discharges of patients from the colocated hospital’’ in § 412.534(c)(2), 

(d)(1), and (e)(1), respectively, to 

conform the regulation text to the 

preamble language on pages 49196, 

49198, 49201, 49206, and 49213 where 

we state that we examine the percentage 

of a LTCH’s or satellite’s discharges that 

were admitted from the host. The 

present regulation text omits the phrase 

‘‘who have been admitted;’’ and 

therefore, does not make as clear as it 

could that we examine the percentage of 

LTCH’s or satellite’s discharges from its 

host.

The revised regulation text will refer 

to the ‘‘threshold for discharges of 

patients who have been admitted from 

the co-located hospital.’’ The policy, as 

articulated above, is focused on 

identifying the percentage of patients 

discharged from the HwH or satellite 

that were admitted from the host 

hospital in order to apply a payment 

adjustment when specific thresholds 

(detailed elsewhere in the regulation 

text) are exceeded. 

In the preamble to the FY 2005 final 

rule on pages 49196, 49206, and 49213, 

we established an adjustment for 

discharges from LTCHs or satellites if 

the LTCH or satellite is located in a 

rural area and is co-located with a host 

hospital or if it is co-located with the 

only urban hospital in the MSA or a 

MSA-dominant host hospital. On page 

49206 of the preamble, we state that 

these particular adjustments are in effect 

‘‘* * * following the phase-in period 

***’’ However, we inadvertently 

excluded this statement from the 

regulation text at § 412.534(d) and (e) 

which detail this adjustment. In the 

regulation text that specifies the phasein period at § 412.534(f)(4), we establish 

a threshold of ‘‘* * * 25 percent or the 

applicable percentage determined under 

paragraph (d) or (e) of this section’’

which clearly indicates that we 

intended that the particular payment 

adjustments for rural, single urban, or 

MSA dominant hosts would go into 

effect only after the transition period set 

forth in paragraph (f). We are concerned 

that the regulation text in § 412.534(d) 

and (e) does not state this policy clearly 

and unambiguously. Therefore, we are 

adding the phrase ‘‘[S]ubject to 

paragraph (f) of this section’’ in both 

§ 412.534(d)(1) and in (e)(1) to clarify 

that the specific payment adjustment 

established in § 412.534(d) for rural 

hospitals and in § 412.534(e) for single 

urban or MSA dominant hospitals 

begins after the phase-in described in 

§ 412.534(f). Similarly, we are adding 

the phrase, ‘‘[E]xcept as provided in 

paragraph (f) of this section’’ at the 

beginning of § 412.534(c)(1), which 

indicates that the 25 percent threshold 

for the payment adjustment specified in 

the following paragraphs begins only 

after the transition set forth in paragraph 

(f). In the preamble to the FY 2005 final 

rule on pages 49196 and 49213, we 

established a ‘‘hold harmless’’ for cost 

reporting periods beginning on or after 

October 1, 2004 and before October 1, 

2005 for ‘‘grandfathered’’ LTCHs HwHs 

and satellites. We stated that ‘‘* * * 

even for grandfathered facilities, in the 

first cost reporting period, the 

percentage of discharges admitted from 

the host hospital may not exceed the 

percentage of discharges admitted form 

the host hospital in its FY 2004 cost 

reporting period.’’ However, referring to 

HwHs and satellites that are governed 

by this policy (‘‘grandfathered’’), we 

state at § 412.534(f)(1) that ‘‘For each 

discharge during the first cost reporting 

period beginning on or after October 1, 

2004 and before October 1, 2005 the 

amount paid is the amount payable 

under this subpart with no adjustment 

under this § 412.534.’’ We inadvertently 

omitted from this regulation text that 

these facilities are required to not 

exceed the percentage of discharges 

admitted from the host hospital in its 

FY 2004 cost reporting period as was 

indicated in the preamble of the FY 

2005 final rule on pages 49213 and 

49196. We are revising the wording in 

paragraph (f)(1) to include this 

requirement and thus precisely reflect 

the policy stated in the preamble by 

adding ‘‘but the hospital may not exceed 

the percentage of patients admitted from 

the host during its FY 2004 cost 

reporting period’’ to the end of that 

paragraph. 

In the regulation text at 

§ 412.534(f)(2), we specify that cost 

reporting periods beginning on or after 

October 1, 2005 and before October 1, 

2006, the percentage of patients 

discharged from the HwH or satellite 

that may be admitted from the host 

hospital with no payment adjustment 

may not exceed the lesser of the 

‘‘percentage of patients admitted from 

the host during fiscal year 2004 or 75 

percent’’ and at paragraph (f)(3), we 

specify that cost reporting periods 

beginning on or after October 1, 2006 

and before October 1, 2007, the 

percentage of patients discharged from 

the HwH or satellite that may be 

admitted from the host hospital with no 

payment adjustment may not exceed the 

lesser of the ‘‘percentage of patients 

admitted from the host during fiscal 

year 2004 or 50 percent.’’ The policy to 

which we are referring is on pages 

49196 and 49213 of the preamble, but in 

the preamble we use the much clearer 

phrase ‘‘* * * FY 2004 cost reporting 

period.’’ in describing the specific 

period used for the comparison, rather 

than the ‘‘fiscal year 2004’’ in 

paragraphs (f)(2) and (f)(3). We are 

revising the regulation text in 

paragraphs (f)(2) and (3) replacing 

‘‘fiscal year 2004’’ with ‘‘its FY 2004 

cost reporting period’’ to conform to the 

above cited preamble pages. 

Accordingly, we have revised 

§ 412.534 to incorporate these 

corrections. (See section II.B. item 2 of 

this correcting amendment.) 

In the October 7, 2004 correction of 

the final rule, we corrected 

§ 413.79(a)(10) (69 FR 60252). In this 

correction, we inadvertently omitted the 

term ‘‘portions’’ from the beginning of 

the sentence. Therefore, we are 

correcting this error in section II.B., item 

3 of this correcting amendment. 

The October 7, 2004 correction of the 

final rule also included a correction to 

§ 485.610 (69 FR 60252). This correction 

stated that paragraph (b)(3) is deleted. 

Since there were two paragraphs (b)(3) 

in the FY 2005 final rule, we want to 

clarify that only the first of these 

paragraphs was deleted. In section II.B. 

item 4 of this correcting amendment, we 

have republished § 485.610(b)(3) to 

clarify this correction. 

C. Summary of Addendum Errors 

In the October 7, 2004 correction of 

the final rule (69 FR 60242), we noted 

the correction of errors in the tables and 

addendum language of the FY 2005 final 

rule related to the wage indexes, 

geographic reclassifications, and IPPS 

payments rates. In addition, we posted 

corrected wage tables and geographic 

reclassification tables on the CMS 

Website at: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/

providers/hipps/ippswage.asp. We also 

noted that we would publish the 

corrected tables in a subsequent Federal 

Register document.

In section II.C. items 1 through 8 and 

10 of this correcting amendment, we are 

publishing revised operating 

standardized amounts and capital 

Federal payment rates, including Tables 

1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D as posted on the 

CMS Website as of September 29, 2004. 

Thus, these corrections simply make the 

standardized amounts and rates 

consistent with the hospitals’ actual 

payment designations, which have been 

in effect since October 1, 2004. Items 9, 

11, and 13 merely correct typographical 

errors in and the placement of the 

headings of the wage index tables. 

78528 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 250 / Thursday, December 30, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 

Accordingly, we believe it is 

appropriate to make the corrections in 

items 1 through 11 and 13 of section 

II.C. of this correcting amendment 

applicable October 1, 2004. 

The FY 2005 final rule and the 

correction to the final rule were 

effective October 1, 2004. Since that 

date, we have identified additional 

errors in the wage index, geographic 

reclassification, and out-migration 

adjustment tables that were posted on 

the CMS Website. As discussed in this 

section, we are correcting the errors in 

the wage index, out-migration 

adjustment, and geographic 

reclassification tables in items 12 and 14 

through 29 of section II.C. of this 

correcting amendment. 

We granted several hospitals’ wage 

data revision requests, but inadvertently 

failed to include the revised data in the 

wage index tables in the FY 2005 final 

rule. These errors affected the wage 

index value for several CBSAs. We are 

correcting these errors in the revised 

wage index tables in this correcting 

amendment. 

In addition, we also have received 

information that several hospitals were 

assigned to incorrect labor market areas. 

We discovered that our data files 

incorrectly listed these hospitals in 

counties other than the counties in 

which these hospitals are actually 

located. These incorrect geographic 

designations affected the wage index 

computations for labor market areas in 

several States. We have revised the wage 

index computations for hospitals in the 

affected labor market areas to reflect the 

correct geographic designations of these 

hospitals. 

Additionally, we discovered that we 

had incomplete and outdated 

information regarding hospitals located 

in urban areas that have been 

reclassified as rural under § 412.103 of 

the regulations. Accordingly, we have 

updated and corrected this information 

and revised the wage index 

computations for hospitals in the 

affected labor market areas. We also 

discovered, subsequent to the 

publication of the FY 2005 final rule, 

that we had inadvertently neglected to 

provide the hold-harmless wage index 

for providers in several counties that 

were previously designated as urban. In 

the final rule, we had provided that 

hospitals in areas that are classified as 

rural under the new MSA definitions, 

but had been designated as urban under 

the MSA definitions in effect through 

FY 2004, could retain their assignment 

to the wage index of the area in which 

they had previously been located. 

Accordingly, we have revised the wage 

index assignments for these hospitals. 

Moreover, changes to county-level 

wage data due to the revisions described 

above, have also resulted in changes to 

the list of counties eligible for the outmigration wage index adjustment under 

section 505 of Pub. L. 108–173. In some 

cases, the wage data revisions have also 

resulted in changes to the amount of the 

adjustment. We have revised and 

corrected the list of eligible counties 

and the computation of the adjustment 

amounts. Thus, we are publishing 

revised versions of the tables displaying 

average hourly wages, wage index 

values, and capital geographic 

adjustment factors, specifically Tables 2, 

3A1, 3A2, 3B1, 3B2, 4A1, 4A2, 4B1, 4B2, 

4C1, 4C2, 4G, and 4H. We are also 

publishing a revised version of Table 4J, 

which displays the list of counties 

qualifying for the out-migration 

adjustment and adjustment amounts. In 

addition, we note that in Tables 4A2 and 

4G of the FY 2005 final rule, we 

inadvertently included 2 rural 

geographic areas in our list of urban 

areas. The two rural geographic areas 

were Enid, OK and Jamestown, NY. In 

accordance with the 3-year holdharmless provision, all hospitals in 

these areas will maintain their current 

geographic area assignment for the 3-

year period beginning FY 2005 and 

ending in FY 2007. Accordingly, we 

have removed these two geographic 

areas from Tables 4A2 and 4G. 

There were errors in several of the 

entries in Tables 9A1 and 9A2 of the FY 

2005 final rule. Therefore, we are 

correcting these errors by republishing 

these tables in their entirety. These 

errors were brought to our attention 

after the publication of the FY 2005 

final rule. 

Lastly when identifying and 

correcting errors to the wage index, we 

believe it is appropriate to apply the 

changes to the wage index 

prospectively. As we stated in the 

January 3, 1984 final rule (49 FR 258), 

‘‘Application of a retroactive adjustment 

to the rates [for corrections in the wage 

index] would erode the basis of the 

prospective payment system that 

payment will be made at a 

predetermined, specified rate.’’

Therefore, we will apply the corrections 

to the wage index, geographic 

reclassification, and out-migration 

adjustment tables to discharges 

occurring on or after January 1, 2005. 

D. Summary of Appendix A (Regulatory 

Impact Analysis) Errors

Section IV of the correction of the 

final rule that appeared in the October 

7, 2004 Federal Register stated that we 

would include a revised impact analysis 

in a forthcoming correction notice. 

Accordingly, we have included 

corrections to the regulatory impact 

analysis (Appendix A) based on the 

corrections summarized in section I.C. 

of this correcting amendment. In 

addition, we also note that we are 

deleting duplicative impact analysis 

language. (See section II.D. of this 

correcting amendment.) 

II. Correction of Errors 

Given the errors summarized in 

section I of this correcting amendment, 

we are making the following corrections 

to FR Doc. 04–17943 (69 FR 48916) and 

FR Doc. 04–22389 (69 FR 60242): 

A. Correction of Preamble Errors 

1. On page 49009, lines 9 through 51, 

the paragraph that begins with the 

phrase ‘‘Cases using InFUSE(TM) should 

be’’ and ending with the phrase ‘‘$1,995 

for FY 2005’’ is corrected to read as 

follows: 

‘‘FDA has not approved coverage for 

InFUSE(TM) when it is applied through 

a posterior approach. It is our policy to 

restrict the payment of new technology 

add-on payments only to cases in which 

FDA approved indications are present. 

Therefore, we are excluding add-on 

payments for those cases that contain 

procedure codes that indicate off-label 

uses of InFUSE(tm). 

The posterior approach is captured 

through one of the following codes: 

• 81.05 Dorsal and dorsolumbar 

fusion, posterior technique. 

• 81.08 Lumbar and lumbosacral 

fusion, posterior technique. 

• 81.35 Refusion of dorsal and 

dorsolumbar fusion, posterior 

technique. 

• 81.38 Refusion of lumbar and 

lumbosacral fusion, posterior technique. 

Cases using InFUSETM should be 

identified by the combination of 

procedure codes 84.51 and 84.52, as 

described above and as required in the 

previous year of new technology add-on 

payments for this technology. Therefore, 

we are adopting the following code logic 

for new technology add-on payments for 

this product: cases in DRGs 497 and 498 

with codes 84.52 and 84.51, but without 

any of the following codes: 81.05, 81.08, 

81.35, or 81.38. 

‘‘For cases using the OP–1 Putty, the 

procedure code 84.52 (Insertion of 

recombinant bone morphogenetic 

protein) must be coded in combination 

with procedure codes identifying 

posterolateral spinal fusions, as is 

consistent with the FDA approval of this 

device. However, unlike InFUSETM, the 

OP–1 Putty is not used with a LT Cage 

(code 84.51). Therefore, we will provide 

new technology add-on payments for 

the OP–1 Putty through the following 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 250 / Thursday, December 30, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 78529

payment logic: Cases in DRGs 497 and 

498 with code 84.52 and one of the 

following codes: 81.35 or 81.38 and 

without code 84.51. 

‘‘Both of these devices have FDA 

approval that is consistent with cases 

that would be assigned to DRGs 497 to 

498. Because Stryker Biotech did not 

submit an application for new 

technology add-on payments, we were 

unable to do a complete analysis of the 

cost of the device. However, we have 

been able to determine that the costs 

associated with the OP–1 Putty are 

similar to those associated with 

InFUSE(TM). Therefore, we believe that 

the same payment amount for new 

technology add-on payments is 

appropriate for both devices. 

Accordingly, cases containing one of the 

above combinations of procedure codes 

and that fall into DRGs 497 or 498 will 

be eligible to receive the add-on 

payment, with a maximum of $1,955 for 

FY 2005.’’

B. Correction of Regulation Text Errors

■ Given the errors summarized in 

section I.B. of this correcting 

amendment, we are making the 

following correcting amendments to 42 

CFR Parts 412, 413, and 485:

PART 412—[CORRECTED]

§ 412.230 [Corrected]

■ 1. Section 412.230 is amended by—

■ A. Revising paragraphs (d)(1)(iii)(A) 

and (B).

■ B. Adding a new paragraph 

(d)(1)(iii)(C).

■ C. Revising paragraph (d)(3).

The revisions and additions read as 

follows:

§ 412.230 Criteria for an individual hospital 

seeking redesignation to another rural area 

or an urban area.

* * * * *

(d) Use of urban or other rural area’s 

wage index.

(1) * * * 

(iii) * * * 

(A) With respect to redesignations for 

Federal fiscal years 1994 through 2001, 

the hospital’s average hourly wage is at 

least 108 percent of the average hourly 

wage of hospitals in the area in which 

the hospital is located; 

(B) With respect to redesignations for 

Federal fiscal years 2002 through 2005, 

the hospital’s average hourly wage is, in 

the case of a hospital located in a rural 

area, at least 106 percent and in the case

Table 4J—Out Migration Adjustment, 

the table is corrected to read as follows: 

The following list represents all 

hospitals that are eligible to have their 

wage index increased by the outmigration adjustment listed in this table. 

Hospitals cannot receive the outmigration adjustment if they are 

reclassified under section 1886(d)(10) of 

the Act or redesignated under section 

1886(d)(8)(B) of the Act. Hospitals that 

have already been reclassified under 

section 1886(d)(10) of the Act or 

redesignated under section 

1886(d)(8)(B) of the Act are designated 

with an asterisk. Hospitals have the 

opportunity to use the new additional 

30-day period to review their individual 

situation to determine whether to 

submit a request to withdraw their 

reclassification/redesignation and 

receive the out-migration adjustment 

instead. We will automatically assume 

that hospitals that have already been 

reclassified under section 1886(d)(10) of 

the Act or redesignated under section 

1886(d)(8)(B) of the Act wish to retain 

their reclassification/redesignation 

status and waive the application of the 

out-migration adjustment. Hospitals are 

not required to provide CMS with any 

type of formal notification that they 

wish to remain reclassified/

redesignated.

* Hospitals that have already been reclassified under section 1886(d)(10) of the Act or redesignated under section 1886(d)(8) of the 

Act. These hospitals will retain their reclassification/redesignation status, and will not receive this out-migration adjustment unless 

they inform CMS that they would like to waive 

their reclassification/redesignation status. 

** This hospital was redesignated under section 1886(d)(8) of the Act, however, the hospital informed CMS that it wished to withdraw 

redesignation, and receive the out-migration 

adjustment instead. This hospital will thus receive the out-migration adjustment listed in the 

table.

Case’’ is deleted. 

III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking 

and Retroactive Application of Changes 

We ordinarily publish a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register to provide a period for public 

comment before the provisions of a rule 

take effect in accordance with section 

553(b) of the Administrative Procedure 

Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). However, 

we can waive the notice and comment 

procedures if the Secretary finds, for 

good cause, that the notice and 

comment process is impracticable, 

unnecessary or contrary to the public 

interest, and incorporates a statement of 

the finding and the reasons therefore in 

the notice.

The policies and payment 

methodology expressed in the FY 2005 

final rule have previously been 

subjected to notice and comment 

procedures. This correcting amendment 

makes changes to conform the 

regulation text to the policies described 

in the preamble of the FY 2005 final 

rule and effective since October 1, 2004. 

This correcting amendment also revises 

the preamble of the FY 2005 final rule 

to clarify our policy regarding add-on 

payments for new technologies. We also 

have corrected errors in wage index 

tables. Therefore, we find it unnecessary 

to undertake further notice and 

comment procedures with respect to 

this correcting amendment. This 

correcting amendment is intended to 

ensure that the FY 2005 final rule 

accurately reflects the policies 

expressed in the final rule. 

We are also waiving the 30-day delay 

in effective date for this correcting 

amendment. We believe that it is in the 

public interest to ensure that the FY 

2005 final rule accurately represents our 

prospective payment methodology, 

payment rates, and that the correct wage 

index values are used to calculate 

hospital payments. We believe that a 

delay in the effective date of these 

corrections would be contrary to the 

public interest. 

We also find that it is in the public 

interest to apply certain changes in this 

correcting amendment retroactively to 

October 1, 2004, the effective date of the 

FY 2005 final rule. Section 1871(e)(1)(A) 

of the Social Security Act, as amended 

by section 903(a) of Pub. L. 108–173, 

provides that a substantive change in 

regulations shall not be applied 

retroactively to items and services 

furnished before the effective date of the 

change, unless the Secretary finds that 

such retroactive application is necessary 

to comply with statutory requirements 

or failure to apply the change 

retroactively would be contrary to the 

public interest. In sections II.A., II.B., 

II.C. items 1 through 11 and 13, and II.D. 

of this correcting amendment, we have 

made substantive corrections to errors 

in the preamble, regulation text, 

operating standardized amounts and 

Federal capital rates, and the regulatory 

impact analysis that were published in 

the August 11, 2004 Federal Register

and in the October 7, 2004 Federal 

Register to ensure that the final rule 

accurately reflects our policies and 

payment methodologies. Although the 

FY 2005 final rule and the correction of 

the final rule contained errors (that are 

described in this correcting 

amendment), we implemented the 

correct policies and payment 

methodologies as of October 1, 2004. 

Accordingly, hospitals have been paid 

under the appropriate policies and 

payment methodologies since that date. 

Therefore, not applying these changes 

retroactively to October 1, 2004 would 

have a disruptive effect on the hospital 

inpatient and long-term care hospital 

prospective payment systems. As a 

result, we are applying most changes in 

this correcting amendment retroactively 

to October 1, 2004 because we believe 

that to do otherwise would be contrary 

to the public interest. 

Since October 1, 2004, hospitals have 

been paid using the wage index values 

posted on the CMS Website on 

September 29, 2004 and referenced in 

October 7, 2004 correction of the final 

rule that appeared in the October 7, 

2004 Federal Register (69 FR 60243). 

Subsequent to this posting and 

publication, we identified additional 

errors in the hospital wage index, 

geographic reclassification, and outmigration data. Therefore, consistent 

with both 42 CFR 412.64(k)(2) and our 

longstanding policy of making midyear 

corrections to the wage index on a 

prospective basis, we are applying the 

corrections in section II.C. items 12 and 

14 through 29 of this correcting 

amendment as of January 1, 2005. (For 

a more detailed explanation of our 

midyear wage index correction policy, 

see the January 3, 1984 Federal Register

(49 FR 258)).
