F. Indirect Medical Education (IDME)

Adjustment

Passage of The Benefits Improvement

and Protection Act of 2000, modified

the transition for the IDME adjustment

that was first established by the

Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and

revised by the Balanced Budget

Refinement Act of 1999. The formula

multiplier for the TRICARE IDME

adjustment has been revised to 1.21 for

FY 2002 and 1.02 for FY 2003 and

thereafter.

G. National Operating Standard Cost as

a Share of Total Costs

The FY 2002 TRICARE National

Operating Standard Cost as a Share of

Total Costs used in calculating the cost

outlier threshold is 0.918.

II. Cost to Charge Ratio.

For FY 2002, the cost-to-charge ratio

used for the TRICARE DRG-based

payment system will be 0.5003, which

is increased to 0.5073 to account for bad

debts. This shall be used to calculate the

adjusted standardized amounts and to

calculate cost outlier payments, except

for children’s hospitals. For children’s

hospital cost outliers the cost-to-charge

ratio used is 0.5520.

III. Updated Rates and Weights

The updated rates and weights are

accessible through the Internet at

www.tricare.osd.mil under the

sequential headings TRICARE Provider

Information, Reimbursement Systems,

and DRG Information. Table 1 provides

the ASA rates and Table 2 provides the

DRG weights to be used under the

TRICARE DRG-based payment system

during FY 2002 and which is a result of

the changes described above. The

implementing regulations for the

TRICARE/CHAMPUS DRG-based

payment system are in 32 CFR part 199.
