SUMMARY: This document corrects technical errors in the regulations text of the final rule that appeared in the August 31, 2012Federal Registerentitled "Medicare Program; Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment Systems for Acute Care Hospitals and the Long-Term Care Hospital Prospective Payment System and Fiscal Year 2013 Rates; Hospitals' Resident Caps for Graduate Medical Education Payment Purposes; Quality Reporting Requirements for Specific Providers and for Ambulatory Surgical Centers" (hereinafter referred to as the FY 2013 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule).
DATES: Effective Date:This correcting amendment is effective October 12, 2012.
Applicability Date:The provisions of this correcting amendment are applicable October 1, 2012.
• In § 412.534(h)(6), we inadvertently omitted regulations text that specified our methodology for determining the percentage of discharges during a LTCH's or satellite facility's cost reporting period beginning on or after July 1, 2012 and before October 1, 2012 that will not be counted towards the 25-percent threshold during such cost reporting period.
• In § 412.536(a)(3)(i)—
• In § 412.536(a)(3)(ii), we made an error in citing the timeframe during which the 25-percent payment adjustment threshold policy is in effect for certain LTCHs (that is, those LTCHs with a cost reporting period beginning on or after July 1, 2012 and before October 1, 2012), as well as an error in the timeframe during which discharges occurring during such LTCHs' cost reporting periods will not be counted towards the 25-percent threshold.
We are correcting these regulations text errors to ensure that the regulations text reflects the finalized 25-percent payment adjustment threshold policy set forth in the preamble of the final rule (77 FR 53483 through 53486). II. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking and Delay in the Effective Date
