ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is provided that the Director of the Indian Health
Service (IHS) has approved the rates for inpatient and outpatient
medical care provided by the IHS facilities for Calendar Year 2024.

Background
The Director of the Indian Health Service (IHS), under the
authority of sections 321(a) and 322(b) of the Public Health Service

has approved the following rates for inpatient and outpatient medical
care provided by IHS facilities for Calendar Year 2024 for Medicare and
Medicaid beneficiaries, beneficiaries of other federal programs, and
for recoveries under the Federal Medical Care Recovery Act (42 U.S.C.
2651-2653). The inpatient rates for Medicare Part A are excluded from
the table below. That is because Medicare inpatient payments for IHS
hospital facilities are made based on the prospective payment system,
or (when IHS facilities are designated as Medicare Critical Access
Hospitals) on a reasonable cost basis. Since the inpatient per diem
rates set forth below do not include all physician services and
practitioner services, additional payment shall be available to the
extent that those services are provided.
