§413.70 Payment for services of a CAH.
(a) Payment for inpatient services furnished by a CAH (other than services of distinct part units).
(1) Effective for cost reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2004, payment for inpatient services of a CAH, other than services of a distinct part unit of the CAH and other than the items included in the incentive payment described in paragraph (a)(5) of this section and subject to the adjustments described in paragraph (a)(6) of this section, is 101 percent of the reasonable costs of the CAH in providing CAH services to its inpatients, as determined in accordance with section 1861(v)(1)(A) of the Act and the applicable principles of cost reimbursement in this part and in part 415 of this chapter, except that the following payment principles are excluded when determining payment for CAH inpatient services:
(i) Lesser of cost or charges;
(ii) Ceilings on hospital operating costs;
(iii) Reasonable compensation equivalent (RCE) limits for physician services to providers; and
(iv) The payment window provisions for preadmission services, specified in §412.2(c)(5) of this subchapter and §413.40(c)(2) of this part.
(5) A qualifying CAH receives an incentive payment for the reasonable costs of purchasing certified EHR technology in a cost reporting period during a payment year as determined under §495.106 of this chapter in lieu of payment for such reasonable costs under paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
(6) (i) For cost reporting periods beginning in or after FY 2015, if a CAH is not a qualifying CAH, as defined in §495.106(a) of this chapter, then notwithstanding the percentage applicable in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, the reasonable costs of the CAH in providing CAH services to its inpatients are adjusted, by the following applicable percentage:
(A) For cost reporting periods beginning in FY 2015, 100.66 percent.
(B) For cost reporting periods beginning in FY 2016, 100.33 percent.
(C) For cost reporting periods beginning in FY 2017 and each subsequent fiscal year, 100 percent.
(ii) A CAH may, on a case-by case basis, be exempt from the application of the adjustments made under this paragraph, if CMS or its Medicare contractors determine, on an annual basis, that requiring the CAH to become a qualifying CAH under §495.106 of this chapter would result in a significant hardship, such as in the case of a CAH in a rural area without sufficient Internet access.
(iii) In no case may a CAH be granted an exemption under this paragraph (a)(6) for more than 5 years.
(7) There is no administrative or judicial review under section s1869 and 1878 of the Actor otherwise of the following:
(i) The methodology and standards for determining the amount of payment under paragraph (a)(5) of this section, including the calculation of reasonable costs under §495.106(c) of this chapter.
(ii) The methodology and standards for determining the amount of payment adjustments made under paragraph (a)(6).
(iii) The methodology and standards for determining a CAH to be a qualifying CAH under §495.106 of this chapter.
(iv) The methodology and standards for determining if the hardship exemption applies to a CAH under paragraph (a)(6)(ii) of this section.
(v) The specification of the cost reporting periods, payment years, or fiscal years as applied under this paragraph.
