b. Application Process for Available Resident Slots

The application period for hospitals to apply for slots under section 5506 of the Affordable Care Act is 90 days following notification to the public of a hospital closure. Therefore, hospitals wishing to apply for and receive slots from the above hospitals’ FTE resident caps must submit applications directly to the CMS Central Office no later than August 29, 2013. In previous rounds of section 5506 of the Affordable Care Act, hospitals submitted applications to their respective CMS Regional Office. However, under this round (Round 5), hospitals need not submit applications to their respective CMS Regional Office. The mailing address for the CMS Central Office is included on the application form. Applications must be received by the August 29, 2013 deadline date. It is not sufficient for applications to be postmarked by this date. After an applying hospital sends a hard copy of a section 5506 application to the CMS Central Office mailing address, we strongly encourage the hospital to send an email to: ACA5506application@cms.hhs.gov. In the email, the hospital should state: ‘‘I am sending this email to notify CMS that I have mailed a hard copy of a section 5506 application to CMS.’’ An applying hospital should not attach an electronic copy of the application to the email. The email will only serve to notify CMS Central Office that a hard copy application has been mailed to CMS Central Office.

In the CY 2011 OPPS/ASC final rule with comment period, we did not establish a deadline by when CMS would issue the final determinations to hospitals that receive slots under section 5506 of the Affordable Care Act. However, we will review all applications received by the deadline, and notify applicants of our determinations as soon as possible.

We refer readers to the CMS Web site

at http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/ Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/ AcuteInpatientPPS/dgme.html to download a copy of the application form (Section 5506 CMS Application Form) that hospitals are to use to apply for slots under section 5506 of the Affordable Care Act. We also refer readers to this same Web site to access a copy of the CY 2011 OPPS/ASC final rule with comment period, a copy of the FY 2013 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule (77 FR 53434 through 53447), and a list of additional section 5506 guidelines for an explanation of the policy and procedures for applying for slots, and the redistribution of the slots under sections 1886(h)(4)(H)(vi) and 1886(d)(5)(B)(v) of the Act.

Consequently, it need not be reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget under the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
