SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Diagnosis Related Groups
(DRG) Reimbursement; OMB Control Number 0720-0017.
Needs and Uses: The DoD Authorization Act, 1984 (Pub. L. 98-94)
amended Title 10, section 1079(j)(2)(A) of the United States Code,
providing the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed
Services (CHAMPUS) with the statutory authority to reimburse
institutional providers based on diagnosis-related groups (DRGs). The
TRICARE/CHAMPUS DRG-based payment system is modeled on the Medicare
Prospective Payment System and was implemented on October 1, 1987. The
TRICARE/CHAMPUS DRG-based payments apply only to hospital's operating
costs and do not include any amounts for hospitals' capital or direct
medical education costs. Any hospital subject to the DRG-based payment
system, except for children's hospitals (whose capital and direct
medical education costs are incorporated in the children's hospital
differential), who want to be reimbursed for allowed capital and direct
medical education costs must submit a request for payment to the
TRICARE/CHAMPUS contractor. The request allows TRICARE to collect the
information necessary to properly reimburse hospitals for its share of
these costs.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 5,600.
Number of Respondents: 5,600.
