Medicare Program; Hospice Wage Index
The Health Care Financing Administration announces the establishment of the Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee on the Medicare Hospice Wage Index. The Committee will negotiate the wage index used to adjust payment rates for hospice care under the Medicare program to reflect local differences in area wage levels. A new wage index is needed because the index currently used is based on 1981 wage and employment data.
