Medicare Program; Hospice Wage Index

AGENCY: Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule establishes a methodology to update the wage 
index used to adjust Medicare payment rates for hospice care. It also 
includes the new wage index, to be effective October 1, 1997. The wage 
index is used to reflect local differences in wage levels. A new wage 
index is needed because the index currently applied is based on 1981 
wage and employment data and has not been updated since 1983. The 
methodology is based on the recommendations of a negotiated rulemaking 
advisory committee comprised of persons who represent interests 
affected by the hospice rules.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

A. Statute and Regulations

    Hospice care is an approach to treatment that recognizes that the 
impending death of an individual warrants a change in focus from 
curative care to palliative care (relief of pain and other 
uncomfortable symptoms). The goal of hospice care is to help terminally 
ill individuals continue life with minimal disruption to normal 
activities while remaining primarily in the home environment. A hospice 
uses an interdisciplinary approach to deliver medical, social, 
psychological, emotional, and spiritual services through the use of a 
broad spectrum of professional and other caregivers, with the goal of 
making the individual as physically and emotionally comfortable as 
possible. Counseling and respite services are available to the family 
of the hospice patient. Hospice programs consider both the patient and 
the family as a unit of care.
    Section 1861(dd) of the Social Security Act (the Act) provides for 
coverage of hospice care for terminally ill Medicare beneficiaries who 
elect to receive care from a participating hospice. The statutory 
authority for payment to hospices participating in the Medicare program 
is contained in section 1814(i) of the Act.
    Our existing regulations under 42 CFR part 418 (issued on December 
16, 1983, effective for hospice services furnished on or after November 
1, 1983) establish eligibility requirements and payment standards and 
procedures, define covered services, and delineate the conditions a 
hospice must meet to be approved for participation in the Medicare 
program. Subpart G of Part 418 provides for payment to hospices based 
on one of four prospectively determined rates for each day in which a 
qualified Medicare beneficiary is under the care of a hospice. The four 
rate categories are routine home care, continuous home care, inpatient 
respite care, and general inpatient care. Payment rates are established 
for each category.
    The final rule of December 16, 1983 (48 FR 56034) provided for the 
following in determining payment for hospice care:
    <bullet> Adjustment to the payment rates to reflect differences in 
area wage levels. Since hospice care is labor-intensive, adjustment was 
necessary to permit payment of higher rates in areas with relatively 
high wage levels, and proportionately lower rates in areas with wage 
levels below the national average.
    <bullet> Labor market areas based on the definitions of 
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) issued by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB).
    <bullet> The wage index used to adjust the hospice payment rates to 
be the wage index published in the Federal Register on September 1, 
1983 (48 FR 39871) for purposes of determining Medicare inpatient 
hospital prospective payment rates. This hospital wage index, which is 
still in use for hospices, was based on calendar year 1981 hospital 
wage and employment data obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 
(BLS) ES 202 Employment, Wages and Contributions file for hospital 
workers.
    <bullet> In applying the hospital wage index to the hospice rates, 
use of an index value of 0.8 if the hospital wage index value were 
lower than 0.8. The use of a wage index ``floor'' reflected our belief 
that an index value below 0.8 would make payment levels very low. We 
believed this would unduly jeopardize the availability of the benefit 
in rural areas by discouraging participation in the Medicare hospice 
program by hospices that are located in these areas, and by inhibiting 
the ability of these rural hospices to attract and retain sufficient 
skilled staff.
    The hospice wage index has not been updated since it was issued in 
1983. Over the ensuing years, we have instituted many changes in the 
hospital wage index in order to ensure its continuing accuracy for 
hospitals. Since these changes have not been applied to hospices, there 
are widening differences between the existing hospice wage index and 
actual wage levels. The existing hospice wage index is based on 1981 
BLS hospital data; however, BLS data are no longer used in determining 
the hospital wage index. Based on our concern that the BLS data did not 
accurately reflect hospital wages, we conducted a survey of hospital 
wage and wage related costs and, in fiscal year 1986, implemented a 
hospital wage index based solely on HCFA survey data. We repeated the 
survey in 1988 and implemented a revised hospital wage index during 
fiscal year 1991.
    Additionally, in fiscal year 1991, we began adjusting the hospital 
wage index to take into account the geographic reclassification of 
hospitals in accordance with sections 1886(d)(8)(B) and 1886(d)(10) of 
the Act. Beginning in fiscal year 1994, in accordance with section 
1886(d)(3)(E) of the Act, we have updated the hospital wage index 
annually, based on a survey of wages and wage-related costs of short-
term, acute care hospitals.
    The most recent hospital wage index was published in the Federal 
Register on August 30, 1996 (61 FR 46166). It is based on the data 
collected from the Medicare cost reports submitted by hospitals for 
cost reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 1993.

B. Current Payment Procedures for Hospice Care

1. Current Annual Increases in Payment Rates
    Section 1814(i)(1)(C)(ii) of the Act provides for an annual 
increase in the hospice payment rates based on the rate of increase in 
the hospital market basket index used to adjust payments for inpatient 
hospital services under the prospective payment system for hospitals. 
However, section 13504 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 
(Pub. L. 103-66) amended section 1814(ii) of the Act to decrease the 
amount of the market basket percentage increase that is applied to 
hospice rates for fiscal years 1994 through 1997. For hospice payments 
in fiscal years 1996 and 1997, the market basket increase is reduced by 
1.5 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively. For fiscal years after 1997, 
hospices receive the full hospital market basket increase. The 
following is a brief description of each level of care and the

[[Page 42861]]

current daily payment rates for the period October 1, 1996, through 
September 30, 1997. The new wage index values set forth in this final 
rule are effective on October 1, 1997. At that time, the fiscal 
intermediaries will recalculate the current daily payment rates for the 
remainder of the rate year using the new hospice wage index.
    <bullet> Routine Home Care--As specified in Sec. 418.302(d)(3) of 
the regulations, the payment rate for routine home care is paid to the 
hospice for each day during which a Medicare beneficiary is under the 
care of the hospice, and not receiving the care described under 
continuous home care, inpatient respite care, or general inpatient 
care, regardless of the volume and intensity of the services provided 
on any given day. The current routine home care rate is $94.17.
    <bullet> Continuous Home Care--The hospice is paid the continuous 
home care rate when, in order to maintain the terminally ill patient at 
home in a period of crisis, nursing care is required on a continuous 
basis. Either home health aide or homemaker services or both may also 
be provided. Medicare regulations at Sec. 418.302(e)(4) specify that 
the hospice payment on a continuous home care day varies depending on 
the number of hours of continuous care. The continuous home care rate 
is divided by 24 to yield an hourly rate. The number of hours of 
continuous home care furnished during a continuous home care day is 
multiplied by the hourly rate to calculate the hospice payment amount 
for that day. The hospice must furnish a minimum of 8 hours of 
continuous home care on a particular day to qualify for the continuous 
home care daily rate. The continuous home care rate is intended only 
for periods of crisis when predominantly skilled continuous care is 
necessary to achieve palliation or management of the patient's acute 
medical symptoms and only as necessary to maintain the patient at home. 
The current continuous home care hourly rate is $22.90 and the daily 
payment rate is $549.65.
    <bullet> Inpatient Respite Care--The hospice is paid the inpatient 
respite care rate for each day the patient is in a Medicare or Medicaid 
approved inpatient facility receiving respite care. The inpatient 
respite rate applies specifically to situations where the patient's 
family members or other persons caring for the patient need a short 
period of relief. Payment is limited to no more than 5 consecutive 
days. Subsequent days of respite care are paid at the routine home care 
rate. The current daily payment rate for inpatient respite care is 
$97.41.
    <bullet> General Inpatient Care--The hospice is paid the general 
inpatient care rate for each day the patient is in a Medicare or 
Medicaid approved inpatient setting to receive services that are 
reasonable and necessary for the palliation or management of acute and 
severe clinical problems related to the terminal condition that cannot 
be managed in other settings. The current daily payment rate for 
general inpatient care is $418.93.
2. Adjustment for Wage Variations
    In adjusting the payment rates, we separate the national payment 
rates into components that reflect the estimated proportion of the rate 
that is attributable to wage and nonwage costs. We then multiply the 
wage component of each rate by the wage index value applicable to the 
area in which the hospice is located (adjusted wage component). The 
rate paid to a hospice is the sum of the nonwage component and the 
adjusted wage component.
    The following table indicates the current hospice payment rates and 
the amount (in dollars) of each rate subject to adjustment by the wage 
index:

II. Proposed Rule

A. General

    On September 4, 1996, we published a proposed rule in the Federal 
Register (61 FR 46579) in which we proposed to establish a methodology 
to update the wage index used to adjust Medicare payment rates for 
hospices. We also included an updated wage index for hospices.
    The proposed rule was developed by a negotiated rulemaking advisory 
committee, under the process established by the Negotiated Rulemaking 
Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-648). This committee was established to 
provide advice and make recommendations to the Secretary with respect 
to the text or content of a proposed rule on the wage index used to 
adjust payment rates for hospices under the Medicare program, to 
reflect local differences in area wage levels. Committee members 
included representatives of national hospice associations; rural, 
urban, large, and small hospices; multi-site hospices; consumer groups; 
and a government representative. In addition, during the process, when 
the Committee identified large groups of hospices likely to suffer a 
significant negative impact as a result of the revised wage index, 
attempts were made to contact representatives of those groups for their 
input, as well as to provide them an opportunity to participate in the 
meetings and discussions.
    The Committee met five times from November 1994 to April 1995. Its 
deliberations focused on the following issues: the data source for the 
wage index; the budget neutrality adjustment; continued application of 
a wage index floor; the transition period; future updates; and the 
effective date of a revised index. The Committee reached consensus on a 
methodology that resulted in a hospice wage index. The Committee 
Statement, with which all Committee members concurred, is attached as 
an Appendix to this final rule.

B. Provisions of the Proposed Hospice Wage Index

    Existing hospice regulations at Sec. 418.306(c) provide that the 
payment rates established by HCFA are adjusted by the intermediary to 
reflect local differences in wages. We proposed to amend 
Sec. 418.306(c) to add that:
    <bullet> The hospice wage index is updated annually based on the 
most current available hospital wage data; and
    <bullet> These data will include any changes to the definitions of 
Metropolitan Statistical Areas.
    As noted above, the revised hospice wage index is based on the 
recommendations of a Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee. In the 
Agreement in which all Committee members concurred, HCFA agreed that it 
would, to the maximum extent possible and consistent with the 
applicable legal obligations, draft a proposed rule consistent with the 
Committee Statement and publish it as a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. 
We stated our intent to interpret and apply the proposed rule, if 
adopted in final form, in a manner fully consistent with the Committee 
Statement.
    We also stated that if the final rule were adopted without change 
from the proposed rule, the only difference between the final rule and 
the Committee Statement would be the calculation of the wage index 
value for the Virgin Islands, as noted in section II.F below. The wage 
index value for the

[[Page 42862]]

Virgin Islands was not addressed by the Committee, since at the time of 
its meetings there were no certified hospices located in the Virgin 
Islands.

C. Computation of the Hospice Wage Index

    We proposed that the hospice wage index be derived from the 
following 1993 hospital cost report data:
    <bullet> Total short-term, acute care hospital salaries and hours.
    <bullet> Home office costs and hours.
    <bullet> Fringe benefits associated with hospital and home office 
salaries.
    <bullet> Direct patient care related contract labor cost and hours.
    <bullet> The exclusion of salaries and hours for nonhospital type 
services such as skilled nursing facility services, home health 
services, or other subprovider components that are not subject to the 
prospective payment system.
    The raw hospital wage data would undergo a series of reviews and 
edits to verify the wage data from the Medicare cost report. A detailed 
description of this process is contained in both the September 1, 1995 
(60 FR 45778) and the August 30, 1996 (60 FR 46166) hospital 
prospective payment final rule.
    As noted above, we proposed to base the fiscal year 1997 hospice 
wage index on hospital wage data reported on the fiscal year 1993 cost 
report prior to reclassification; that is, the hospital wage index will 
not be adjusted to take into account the geographic reclassification of 
hospitals in accordance with sections 1886(d)(8)(B) and 1886(d)(10) of 
the Act. A detailed description of the method used to compute the 
hospital wage index is contained in both the September 1, 1995 (60 FR 
45778), and the August 30, 1996 (60 FR 46166), hospital prospective 
payment final rule.

D. Budget Neutrality Adjustment and Application of Wage Index Floor for 
the Proposed Hospice Index

    We proposed that all hospice wage index values below 0.8 would 
receive the greater of the following:
    <bullet> A 15-percent increase, subject to a maximum wage index 
value of 0.8; or
    <bullet> An adjustment, by multiplying the hospice wage index value 
for a given area by the budget neutrality adjustment factor. In this 
way, wage areas with values below 0.8 would not receive both the wage 
index floor adjustment and the budget neutrality adjustment. All 
hospice wage index values of 0.8 or greater would receive a budget 
neutrality adjustment, which would be calculated by multiplying the 
hospice wage index value for a given area by the budget neutrality 
factor.
    To determine a budget neutrality adjustment factor, we established 
the payments that would be made under the 1983 wage index. We did this 
by calculating the labor-related payments for each of the four types of 
hospice services using patient bills for the most recent completed 
fiscal year (that is, fiscal year 1995 bills would be used to calculate 
the fiscal year 1997 index). That dollar amount would be the target for 
the budget neutrality calculation. Then payments would be calculated 
separately for the labor-related portion of the rates using the wage 
index proposed in this rule. The budget neutrality factor would be 
calculated as the multiplier by which labor-related payments using the 
proposed wage index must be adjusted to equal labor-related payments 
using the 1983 wage index. The calculation would be made taking into 
account the respective adjustments applicable to wage index values 
below, at, or above the 0.8 threshold described above. The payments 
would be for the total of labor-related payments for each of the four 
types of hospice services. The budget neutrality factor would then be 
applied to the wage index. To confirm the accuracy of the calculation, 
total payments would then be calculated by using the new budget 
neutrality adjusted wage index and would be compared to payments using 
the 1983 wage index.
    The budget neutrality factor would be calculated and applied 
annually, both during and after the transition period. For the first 
transition year, the budget neutrality factor will be 1.020768.

E. Transition and Annual Updates

    We proposed a 3-year transition period with annual updates as noted 
in the Committee Statement.

F. Wage Index Value for the Virgin Islands

    At the time of negotiations, there were no certified hospices 
located in the Virgin Islands. However, since that time, a hospice 
program has been certified to provide services under Medicare. Since 
the Virgin Islands is not an area designated under the prospective 
payment system for hospitals, there is no hospital wage index value for 
the Virgin Islands. Therefore, though this was not an issue discussed 
by the Committee, we proposed that the methodology to calculate a wage 
index value for the Virgin Islands would be to gather information from 
the hospital cost report and compare hourly wages of the hospital 
located in the Virgin Islands to the national average. This would 
generate a wage index value of 0.6594.

III. Analysis of and Response to Public Comments

    In response to the September 4, 1996 proposed rule, we received 
four items of correspondence, three from hospices, and one from a 
hospice association.
    Comment: One commenter expressed concern that the wage index rates 
continue to be based on the location of the hospice rather than the 
location where the service is furnished.
    Response: Hospices provide services in various locations. These may 
include the patient's home, an inpatient facility, and the hospice 
facility itself. Currently, the wage index for hospice services is 
based on the location of the hospice rather than the location of 
service delivery. Although this was not an issue addressed by this 
rule, a proposal linking payments for hospice services to the 
geographic location of the site where the service was furnished was 
included in the Administration's Medicare and Medicaid Fraud, Abuse, 
and Waste Prevention Amendments of 1997.
     Comment: One commenter requested information on how best to bring 
about a change in classification from a rural area to an urban area 
because he believed that an urban designation better reflects his 
costs.
    Response: Each hospice's labor market area is established by the 
MSA definitions issued by OMB on December 28, 1992, based on the 1990 
census, and updated periodically by the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB). Any request for change in designation of MSA would have to be 
made to OMB for consideration.
    Comment: One commenter suggested that the wage index values for 
Puerto Rico did not reflect the costs of providing services in that 
area. The commenter believed that implementation of the wage index will 
result in inaccessibility of hospice care in certain areas. The 
commenter described several characteristics that, she believed, are 
unique to providing hospice care in Puerto Rico. These include poor 
access to many communities, lack of educational programs or other 
curricula aimed at training professionals in hospice care, language 
barriers, outdated communication technology, high cost-of-living, and 
high operational costs due to necessary imports. The commenter also 
believed that the hospital wage index does not accurately reflect costs 
in Puerto Rico.
    Response: As stated in the proposed rule, the committee solicited 
participation from Puerto Rico and

[[Page 42863]]

reviewed financial information provided by Puerto Rico hospices. The 
committee considered many of the issues raised by representatives of 
Puerto Rico and determined that, in order to maintain the viability of 
hospice programs in rural and other low wage index areas, it was 
appropriate to continue to assist those areas with wage index values 
below 0.8 by providing an adjustment to the wage component of the rate. 
The committee agreed that for those wage areas below 0.8, the revised 
wage index for the area would be the greater of the pre-reclassified 
hospital wage index value times a budget neutrality adjustment factor, 
or the pre- reclassified hospital wage index value multiplied by 1.15, 
but subject to a maximum wage index value of 0.8.
    We believe that characteristics described by the commenter as being 
unique to hospices in Puerto Rico are in fact shared by hospices in 
many rural and urban areas. Access to communities and outdated 
communications technology are often problematic in rural areas of the 
continental United States. Additionally, many hospices in the 
continental United States experience a lack of external educational 
programs aimed at training hospice professionals and have to provide 
that training internally. The problem of language barriers and the need 
for bilingual staff can also be found in many areas in the United 
States.
    Moreover, some of the commenter's concerns were not relevant to the 
development of a revised hospice wage index. The committee focused its 
attention on the development of a revised hospice wage index and 
therefore did not address some of the issues raised by the commenter. 
For example, the commenter described how the operational costs of 
hospices are high in Puerto Rico due to the costs associated with 
importing supplies. The hospice wage index will affect only the wage 
portion of the hospice daily payment rate. Operational costs would not 
be reflected in this portion of the daily payment rate. Also, it is 
expected that both hospices and hospitals in Puerto Rico will have 
similar staffing problems, so the impact of the resulting higher 
salaries should be reflected in the hospital wage index.
    The issue of the hospital wage index not accurately reflecting the 
costs in Puerto Rico was discussed in the August 30, 1996 Federal 
Register (61 FR 46166). The notice recognized that hospitals in Puerto 
Rico have experienced large swings in their wage index values, and that 
these shifts can cause shifts in payments. Several options, including 
the creation of a single MSA for Puerto Rico, which would limit these 
types of swings, were discussed. However, it was decided that none of 
the options would create a payment system that was fair and equitable 
to all hospitals, regardless of location. While drafting the August 30, 
1996 final rule discussed above, HCFA met with representatives of the 
Puerto Rico Hospital Association to explore other solutions to the 
problems faced by hospitals in the Commonwealth. In reviewing the 
latest Medicare cost report data available at that time, we found that 
hospitals in Puerto Rico continue to demonstrate average Medicare 
operating margins comparable to all other prospective payment 
hospitals.
    This comment was forwarded to the negotiated rulemaking committee 
members for review and consideration. Based on their responses, we 
believe this comment would not have led the group to a different 
consensus had it been available during the negotiations.
    Comment: One commenter expressed concern that reduction of the wage 
index value in his area would cause hospices to experience financial 
hardship.
    Response: We recognize that although the proposed hospice wage 
index is budget neutral, some hospices will experience reductions in 
wage index values. Wage index values below 0.8 percent will be adjusted 
according to the adjustment factor. The revised wage index values would 
be the greater of the pre-reclassification hospital wage index values 
times the budget neutrality adjustment factor or the pre-
reclassification hospital wage index value multiplied by 1.15, but 
subject to a maximum wage index value of 0.8 percent. The committee did 
examine the overall effects of the various methodologies for computing 
the wage index that were proposed during the negotiated rulemaking 
process and chose the option with the least overall impact on hospices.

IV. Provisions of the Final Rule

    This final rule essentially incorporates the provisions of the 
proposed rule, in which we proposed to establish a methodology to 
update the wage index used to adjust Medicare payment rates for 
hospices. The few changes we made from the proposed rule are identified 
below.
    We are also publishing, in Tables A and B below, the updated urban 
and rural wage indexes for hospices included in the proposed rule. The 
values in Tables A and B published with this final rule are current and 
will not be updated until October 1, 1998. The wage index values for 
Tables A and B will be used for the first transition year, and have 
already been subject to all adjustments.

A. Transition Period

    Due to the delay in the publication of this final rule, the revised 
wage index will become effective for care and services furnished on or 
after October 1, 1997. Keeping with the spirit of the consensus 
agreement, the revised wage index will continue to be subject to the 
full 3-year transition period. The first year of the transition period 
will begin October 1, 1997, and will end September 30, 1998.

B. Annual Updates

    Annual updates will begin with the start of the second transition 
year. We plan to coordinate the annual updates after the third 
transition year with the hospital wage index updates. This may result 
in the third transition year lasting somewhat longer than a year. 
Annual updates will be published as a notice in the Federal Register, 
rather than as a proposed rule as agreed to in the Consensus agreement. 
We believe that this change is not contradictory to the intentions of 
the rulemaking committee; rather, it will allow us to make timely 
updates through a less burdensome administrative process. The annual 
updates will update the hospice wage index values according to the 
methodology agreed to by the rulemaking committee and implemented by 
this final rule. In the event that we decide to change the methodology 
by which the wage index is computed, this will be reflected in a 
proposed rule published in the Federal Register.

\1\ Wage index values are based on fiscal year 1993 hospital cost report
  data prior to reclassification. This wage index is further adjusted.  
  Wage index values greater than 0.8 are subject to a budget neutrality 
  adjustment of 1.020768. Wage index values below 0.8 are adjusted to be
  the greater of a 15 percent increase, subject to a maximum wage index 
  value of 0.8, or an adjustment by multiplying the hospice wage index  
  value for a given area by the budget neutrality adjustment. All of    
  these adjustments are built into the wage index values reflected in   
  Table A.

\2\ Wage index values are based on fiscal year 1993 hospital cost report
  data prior to reclassification. This wage index is further adjusted.  
  Wage index values greater than 0.8 are subject to a budget neutrality 
  adjustment of 1.020768. Wage index values below 0.8 are adjusted to be
  the greater of a 15 percent increase, subject to a maximum wage index 
  value of 0.8, or an adjustment by multiplying the hospice wage index  
  value for a given area by the budget neutrality adjustment. All of    
  these adjustments are built into the wage index values reflected in   
  Table B.                                                              

V. Regulatory Impact Statement

    Consistent with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 
through 612), we prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis unless we 
certify that a rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. For purposes of the RFA, all 
hospices are considered to be small entities. Individuals and States 
are not included in the definition of a small entity.
    In addition, section 1102(b) of the Act requires us to prepare a 
regulatory impact analysis if a rule has a significant impact on the 
operations of a substantial number of small rural hospitals. Such an 
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 50 beds.
    This impact analysis compares hospice payments under the current 
wage index (column 3 of the Table C) to the first transition year blend 
(column 4). The wage index blend for the first transition year of the 
3-year transition is two-thirds of the current wage index added to one-
third of the new wage index. The data used in developing the 
quantitative analysis for this final rule were obtained from the June 
1996 update of the national claims history file of all bills submitted 
during fiscal year 1995. We deleted bills from hospices that have since 
closed.
    Table C demonstrates the results of our analysis. The table 
categorizes hospices by various geographic and provider 
characteristics. The top row of the table demonstrates that the overall 
impact on the 1,834 hospices included in the analysis is budget 
neutral. The next two rows of the table categorize hospices according 
to their geographic location (urban and rural). There are 1,200 
hospices located in urban areas included in our analysis and 634 
hospices located in rural areas. The next two groupings in the table 
indicate the number of hospices by census region, also broken down by 
urban and rural hospices. The next grouping shows the impact on 
hospices based on the size of the hospice's program. We determined that 
the majority of hospice payments are made at the routine home care 
rate; therefore, we based the size of each individual hospice's program 
on the number of routine home care days provided in 1995. The next 
grouping shows the impact on hospices by type of ownership. The final 
grouping shows the impact on hospices defined by whether they are 
provider-based or freestanding.
    In column 2 of the table we indicate the number of routine home 
care days that were included in our analysis, although the analysis was 
performed on all types of hospice care. Columns 3 and 4 show the 
payments that would have been made to hospices under the 1983 wage 
index and payments that would be made under the 1997 wage index. As the 
first row in column 4 indicates, the wage index is budget neutral. The 
final column shows the percent change in hospice payments based on the 
category of the hospice.
    The results of our analysis show that the greatest increases are 
for urban hospices in the New England and Pacific regions, 4.4 percent 
and 1.7 percent respectively. The greatest decreases, besides Puerto 
Rico, are the urban East South Central and West South Central regions 
with 1.6 percent and 1.4 percent respectively. The most dramatic shift 
occurs in Puerto Rico, where urban payments decrease by 7.3 percent and 
rural payments decrease by 8.9 percent. The region most affected by the 
revision to the wage index floor is Puerto Rico. This is because the 
wage index values for the Puerto Rico region are more than 15 percent 
below 0.8. Under the current wage index floor, Puerto Rico's wage index 
value would have been adjusted to 0.8. Under the final wage index 
floor, Puerto Rico's wage index will be the pre-reclassification 
hospital wage index value multiplied by 1.15.
    Small hospice programs show small decreases while larger programs 
show slight increases. Proprietary hospices show slight decreases in 
payment due to the wage index change while voluntary programs gain 
slightly. Finally, freestanding and skilled nursing facility-based 
hospices show small decreases while home health agency and hospital-
based hospice programs show small increases.

    We have concluded that this final regulation will have an impact on 
small hospices. However, the provisions of this regulation were 
determined by consensus through a negotiated rulemaking committee. 
Based on all of the options considered, the committee determined that 
the provisions in this regulation were favorable for the hospice 
community as a whole, as well as for the beneficiaries that they serve.
    We have also determined, and certify, that this final rule will not 
result in a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities and will not have a significant impact on the operations 
of a substantial number of small rural hospitals. For these reasons, we 
are not preparing analyses for the RFA or section 1102(b) of the Act.
    In accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 12866, this 
regulation was reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.

VI. Collection of Information Requirements

United States Department of Health and Human Services Negotiating 
Committee on the Medicare Hospice Wage Index

Committee Statement

April 13, 1995.

    The Negotiating Committee on Medicare Hospice Wage Index has 
concurred in the following recommendations, considered as a whole, 
concerning the wage index used to adjust Medicare payment rates for 
hospice services to reflect geographic differences in wages:

A. Data to be Used

    The wage index for hospices will be based on the wage index used 
by the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) for hospitals 
under the Medicare Prospective Payment System, prior to 
reclassification. This means that the hospital wage index will not 
be adjusted to take into account the geographic reclassification of 
hospitals in accordance with sections 1886(d)(8)(B) and 1886(d)(10) 
of the Social Security Act.
    The hospital wage index prior to reclassification will be 
referred to in this statement as the Raw Index and will be adjusted 
as provided below to calculate what will be referred to as the 
Revised Wage Index.
    Special provisions governing a transition period are described 
in paragraph D below.

B. Budget Neutrality

    HCFA will determine a Budget Neutrality Factor that will be 
applied to achieve budget neutrality during and after the transition 
period. Budget neutrality means that, in a given year, estimated 
aggregate payments for Medicare hospice services using the Revised 
Wage Index will equal estimated payments that would have been made 
for the same services if the wage index adopted for hospices in 1983 
(1983 Index) had remained in effect. HCFA will estimate aggregate 
payments for Medicare hospice services using the best available 
utilization data.

C. Adjustments

    Each Raw Index value will be adjusted in one of two ways to 
determine the Revised Wage Index value applicable to each area.
    (1) If the Raw Index value for any area is 0.8 or greater, the 
Revised Wage Index will be calculated by multiplying the Raw Index 
value for that area by the Budget Neutrality Factor.
    (2) If the Raw Index value for any area is less than 0.8, the 
Revised Wage Index will be the greater of either:
    (a) The Raw Index value for that area multiplied by the Budget 
Neutrality Factor; or
    (b) The Raw Index value for that area multiplied by 1.15 (in 
effect, a 15-percent increase), but subject to a maximum index value 
of 0.8.

D. Transition Period

    The Revised Wage Index will be implemented over a 3-year 
transition period beginning on or about October 1, 1996. For the 
first year of the transition period, a blended index will be 
calculated by adding two-thirds of each 1983 Index value for an area 
to one-third of the Revised Wage Index value for that area. During 
the second year of the transition period, the calculation will be 
similar, except that the blend will be one-third of the 1983 Index 
values and two-thirds of the Revised Wage Index values. During the 
third year the Revised Wage Index will be fully implemented.
    Throughout the transition period, new hospices will be treated 
the same as existing hospices based in the same county.

E. Annual Updates

    The Revised Wage Index will be updated annually, so that it is 
based on the most current available data used by HCFA to construct 
the hospital wage index, as well as on changes by the Office of 
Management and Budget to Metropolitan Statistical Areas as adopted 
by HCFA in calculating the hospital wage index.
    HCFA will use the most current hospital cost report data 
available that allows HCFA to publish a proposed rule containing 
wage index values at least 4 months in advance of the effective date 
of each annual update to the Revised Wage Index.

F. Effective Date

    The effective date of a final rule revising the wage index as 
stated above should be October 1, 1997.

G. Statement to Accompany Proposed and Final Hospice Wage Index Notice

    The proposed rule is based upon a Committee Statement developed 
by a Negotiating Committee on the Medicare hospice wage index which 
was convened under the Negotiated Rulemaking Act. A new hospice wage 
index is needed because the existing hospice wage index is based on 
a 1983 wage index using 1981 Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data 
which is inaccurate and outdated.
    The Committee reached consensus; however, this means only that 
all Committee members could ``live with'' the agreement, considered 
as a whole, even if elements of that agreement were not the 
preferred choice of individual Committee members. The Committee 
Statement reflects those issues upon which the Committee ultimately 
concurred, but does not address many issues that were considered by 
the Committee.
    The Committee considered the appropriate data to be used to 
construct a wage index, the appropriateness of retaining a 0.8 
floor, budget neutrality, and how to structure a transition to 
timely update the index yet ensure access to hospice care. In 
particular, the Committee considered the problems faced by hospices 
that would receive significant decreases under the new wage indices, 
rural hospices, hospices with low wage indices, and hospices that 
may have disproportionately high non-wage costs.
    The Committee received extensive information from experts who 
appeared before the Committee and from the hospice community, and 
sought public input. While considerable data were reviewed, the 
Committee acknowledges that hospice data collection is maturing and 
encourages its continued development. In addition, while other 
issues were identified, the scope of the Committee's negotiations 
was limited by the notice of intent to negotiate.
    Given these constraints, and taking into account the differing 
and conflicting interests that would be significantly affected, the 
Committee sought to develop a wage index that would be as accurate, 
reliable, and equitable as possible, but would not threaten access 
to hospice care.
    The Committee recognizes that hospice care is still not 
universally available. The Committee further recognizes that there 
may be geographic or other circumstances that inhibit the provision 
of hospice care. The Committee strongly requests that HCFA consider 
options to address these access problems.
    Reaching consensus was a long and deliberative process. The 
Committee concurred that the wage index it recommends will be better 
both for the hospice community as a whole, and for the Medicare 
beneficiaries it serves, than a wage index developed by the 
traditional rulemaking process.
