AGENCY: Health Care Financing

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

SUMMARY: In the May 8, 1998 issue of

the Federal Register (63 FR 25575), we

published a proposed rule to revise the

Medicare hospital inpatient prospective

payment systems for operating costs and

capital-related costs to implement

necessary changes arising from our

continuing experience with the system.

This document corrects technical errors

made in that document.

Education Issues.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the May

8, 1998 proposed rule, we addressed

caps on the target amounts for cost

reporting periods beginning in FY 1999

for hospitals excluded from the hospital

inpatient prospective payment systems.

The caps that we published

inadvertently reflect updates to the

amounts published in the August 29,

1997 final rule with comment period (62

FR 46019), rather than updates to the

corrected amounts published in the

March 6, 1998 correction notice for the

final rule with comment period (63 FR

11148). This document corrects that

error. Also incorrect amounts were

listed in Tables 1A, 1C, 1D, 1E, and 1F.

We inadvertently published the

amounts from the August 29, 1997 final

rule with comment period. Therefore,

we are making the following corrections

to the proposed rule:

1. On page 25601, end of the third

column, the table is replaced with the

following:

(1) Psychiatric hospitals and units:

$10,797

(2) Rehabilitation hospitals and units:

$19,582

(3) Long-term care hospitals: $38,630

2. On pages 25620 through 26521,

Tables 1A, 1C, 1D, 1E, and 1F are

corrected to read as follows:
