Medicaid Program; Flexibility in Payment Methods for Services of Hospitals, Nursing Facilities, and Intermediate Care Facilities for the Mentally Retarded

This rule proposes to amend the Medicaid regulations that deal with payment for the services of hospitals and long-term care facilities. It proposes to remove all references to regulations based on the Boren Amendment and to add more flexible rules for States changing rates or payment methodologies for hospitals and long-term care facilities. These revisions will conform the regulations to the Social Security Act, as revised by section 4711 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.
