beginning date (if necessary) and is

subject to the limitation specified in

paragraph (d) of this section.

(b) Per diem rate. The prospectively

determined payment rate for each urban

and rural area in each census region is

comprised of the following:

(1) A routine operating component,

which is divided into:

(i) A labor-related portion adjusted by

the appropriate wage index; and

(ii) A nonlabor-related portion.

(2) A routine capital-related cost

portion.

(3) For proprietary SNFs only, a

portion that is based on the return on

owner’s equity related to routine cost,

applicable only for services furnished

before October 1, 1993.

(c) Adjustment for cost reporting

period. (1) If a facility has a cost

reporting period beginning after the

beginning of the Federal fiscal year, the

intermediary increases the labor-related

and nonlabor-related portions of the

prospective payment rate that would

otherwise apply to the SNF by an

adjustment factor. Each factor represents

the projected increase in the market

basket index for a specific 12-month

period. The factors are used to account

for inflation in costs for cost reporting

periods beginning after October 1.

Adjustment factors are published in the

annual notice of prospectively

determined payment rates described in

§ 413.320.

(2) If a facility uses a cost reporting

period that is not 12 months in

duration, the intermediary must obtain

a special adjustment factor from HCFA

for the specific period.

(d) Limitation of prospectively

determined payment rate. The per diem

prospectively determined payment rate

for an SNF, excluding capital-related

costs and excluding return on equity for

services furnished prior to October 1,

1993, may not exceed the individual

SNF’s routine service cost limit. Under

§ 413.30, the routine service cost limit is

the limit determined without regard to

exemptions, exceptions, or retroactive

adjustments, and is the actual limit in

effect when the provider elects to be

paid a prospectively determined

payment rate.

§ 413.316 Determining payment amounts:

Ancillary services.

Ancillary services are paid on the

basis of reasonable cost in accordance

with section 1861(v)(1) of the Act and

§ 413.53.

§ 413.320 Publication of prospectively

determined payment rates or amounts.

At least 90 days before the beginning

of a Federal fiscal year to which revised

prospectively determined payment rates

are to be applied, HCFA publishes a

notice in the Federal Register:

(a) Establishing the prospectively

determined payment rates for routine

services; and

(b) Explaining the basis on which the

prospectively determined payment rates

are calculated.

§ 413.321 Simplified cost report for SNFs.

SNFs electing to be paid under the

prospectively determined payment rate

system may file a simplified cost report.

The cost report contains a simplified

method of cost finding to be used in lieu

of cost methods described in

§ 413.24(d). This method is specified in

the instructions for Form HCFA–2540S,

contained in sections 3000–3027.3 of

Part 2 of the Provider Reimbursement

Manual. This form may not be used by

hospital-based SNFs or SNFs that are

part of a health care complex. Those

SNFs must file a cost report that reflects

the shared services and administrative

costs of the hospital and any other

related facilities in the health care

complex.

measurements performed by an

independent laboratory, it is acceptable

for the party responsible for verification

of the equipment to rely upon the
