Office of the Secretary

Civilian Health and Medical Program of

the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS);

Establishment of National Differentials

for Children’s Hospitals

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DoD.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Office of the Civilian

Health and Medical Program of the

Uniformed Services (OCHAMPUS) is

announcing the national differential

rates for children’s hospitals which go

into effect April 1, 1995. This notice is

issued as required in 32 CFR 199.14 in

which OCHAMPUS announced that a

notice would be published setting forth

the national differential and eliminating

the hospital-specific differentials.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marty Maxey, Program Development

Branch, OCHAMPUS, telephone (303)

361–1227.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoD

6010.8–R (Civilian Health and Medical

Program of the Uniformed Services

(CHAMPUS)) was published in the

Federal Register on July 1, 1986 (51 FR

24008). On October 1, 1987,

OCHAMPUS implemented a DRG-based

payment system, modeled on the

Medicare Prospective Payment System.

Children’s Hospitals were exempted

from the initial implementation until a

children’s hospital differential rate

could be developed. This would ensure

that payments to children’s hospitals

remained budget neutral compared to

fiscal year 1988 charges. Since we

included children’s hospitals under the

CHAMPUS diagnosis related group

(DRG) payment system in 1989, we have

implemented the special measures

directed by Congress. When children’s

hospitals were included by Congress.

When children’s hospitals were

included under the DRG-based payment

systems, we implemented the pediatricmodified DRGs (PM–DRGs) for neonatal

services. The PM–DRGs, which were

developed by the National Association

of Children’s Hospitals and Related

Institutions (NACHRI), replaced the six

Medicare neonatal DRGs with thirtyfour DRGs which account for

birthweight, surgery and the presence of

multiple, major and other neonatal

problems.

When we implemented the PM–DRGs,

we promised an early review of the

weights to ensure that they were

adequate. The original weights had been

derived from a database provided by

NACHRI which was believed to be

representative of CHAMPUS. However,

the case mix and the charges apparently

were very different and in December
