and Fiscal Year 2012 Rates; 

Corrections 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS), HHS. 

ACTION: Correction of proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: This document corrects 

technical errors that occurred in Tables 

2 and 4J, that were referenced in the 

proposed rule entitled ‘‘Medicare 

Program; Proposed Changes to the 

Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment 

Systems for Acute Care Hospitals and 

the Long-Term Care Hospital 

Prospective Payment System and Fiscal 

Year 2012 Rates’’ which appeared in the 

May 5, 2011 Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Tables 2 and 4J, referenced in FR Doc. 

2011–9644 of May 5, 2011 (76 FR 

25788), and available through the 

Internet on the CMS Web site (see 76 FR 

26043 and 26044 for an explanation of 

publishing such Tables on the Internet), 

reflect an error in the calculation of the 

outmigration adjustment. (We refer 

readers to (76 FR 25887 and 25888) for 

an explanation of such adjustment.) 

This error affects proposed Table 4J, 

which lists hospitals located in 

qualifying outmigration adjustment 

counties. Table 4J also lists the 

proposed adjustments calculated for 

qualifying hospitals. To correct the 

error, we have re-evaluated which 

counties are eligible for the 

outmigration adjustment in FY 2012. 

There are an additional 104 providers 

(in 39 counties) eligible for the 

adjustment, 66 of which are also eligible 

for reclassification for FY 2012. We sent 

a Joint Signature Memorandum on July 

1, 2011 to fiscal intermediaries 

informing them of this change, along 

with a letter to be forwarded to 

providers with further instructions for 

those possibly affected by this change. 

The Joint Signature Memorandum and 

the letter to providers provides further 

instructions on how providers may 

revise certain reclassification decisions, 

or receive the outmigration adjustment 

rather than a section 1886(d)(8)(B) 

redesignation. To access the 

Memorandum and letter and to review 

such procedures, we refer readers to our 

Web site http:/www.cms.gov/ 

AcuteInpatientPPS/IPPS2012/list.asp. 

II. Summary of Errors and Corrections 

Posted on the CMS Web Site 

On page 26043, we list Table 2 and 

Table 4J as the tables that will be 

available only through the Internet. The 

version of Table 4J that was posted via 

the Internet on the CMS Web site at the 

time the proposed rule was filed for 

public inspection at the Office of the 

Federal Register inadvertently omitted 

the outmigration adjustment for 104 

providers. Therefore, we have corrected 

these errors and will post corrections to 

Table 2 and 4J on the CMS Web site at 

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

AcuteInpatientPPS/01_overview.asp) 

The corrections to Table 4J include 

only the newly eligible hospitals and 

their corresponding outmigration 

adjustments. The corrections to Table 2 

include only the hospitals that are 

newly eligible for an outmigration 

adjustment and their corresponding 

corrected FY 2012 proposed wage 

indices.
