13 CSR 70-15.015
Supplemental Payments
PURPOSE: This rule provides for the calculation of the Direct
Medicaid payments made on or after July 1, 2019.
(1) Definitions.
(A) Base year cost report. Audited Medicaid cost report from
the third prior calendar year. If a facility has more than one
(1) cost report with periods ending in the third prior calendar
year, the cost report covering a full twelve- (12-) month period
will be used. If none of the cost reports covers a full twelve (12)
months, the cost report with the latest period will be used. If
a hospital’s base year cost report is less than or greater than a
twelve- (12-) month period, the data shall be adjusted, based on
the number of days reflected in the base year cost report to a
twelve- (12-) month period. Any changes to the base year cost
report after the division issues a final decision on assessment or
payments will not be included in the calculations.
(B) Case mix index (CMI). The hospital CMI is determined
based on the hospital’s MO HealthNet inpatient claims and
Solventum All-Patient Refined Diagnosis Related Groups (APRDRG) software, a grouping algorithm to categorize inpatient
discharges with similar treatment characteristics requiring
similar hospital resources.
1. For SFY 2026 and forward, the basis of the case mix index
will be determined by the division based on the inpatient
dataset utilized in the annual update of the Missouri APR-DRG
reimbursement methodology.
(C) Cost report. A cost report details, for purposes of both
Medicare and MO HealthNet reimbursement, the cost of
rendering covered services for the fiscal reporting period. The
Medicare/Medicaid Uniform Cost Report contains the forms
utilized in filing the cost report. The Medicare/Medicaid Cost
Report version 2552-10 (CMS 2552-10) shall be used for fiscal
years beginning on and after May 1, 2010.
(D) Division. Unless otherwise designated, division refers to
the MO HealthNet Division (MHD), a division of the Department
of Social Services charged with the administration of the MO
HealthNet program.
(E) Medicaid fee-for-service (FFS) inpatient days. Medicaid FFS
inpatient days are paid Medicaid FFS days for inpatient hospital
services as reported by the Medicaid Management Information
System (MMIS) from the second prior calendar year.
(F) Medicaid managed care (MC) inpatient days. Medicaid
MC inpatient days are paid Medicaid MC days for inpatient
hospital services as reported by the Managed Care Health Plans
on the Hospital Services Reporting Form from the second prior
calendar year.
(G) Federal reimbursement allowance (FRA). The fee assessed
to hospitals for the privilege of engaging in the business of
providing inpatient health care in Missouri. The FRA shall be
an allowable cost to the hospital. The FRA is identified in 13
CSR 70-15.110. Effective January 1, 1999, the assessment shall be
an allowable cost.
(H) State-deemed critical access hospital (CAH). A public
hospital located in a county in the Missouri Bootheel with no
more than one hundred five (105) acute care inpatient beds.
(2) Inpatient Direct Medicaid Payments.
(A) Inpatient direct Medicaid payments will be made to
hospitals that are reimbursed under an APR-DRG reimbursement
methodology for the following allowable MO HealthNet cost:
1. The increased MO HealthNet cost resulting from the FRA
assessment becoming an allowable cost on January 1, 1999.
(B) The division will calculate the inpatient direct Medicaid
payment as follows:
1. The Medicaid share of the inpatient FRA assessment will
be calculated by dividing the hospital’s inpatient Medicaid
days, FFS and MC, by the total inpatient hospital days from
the base year cost report to arrive at the Medicaid utilization
percentage. This percentage is then multiplied by the inpatient
FRA assessment for the current state fiscal year (SFY) to arrive
at the increase allowable Medicaid cost for the inpatient FRA
assessment. This amount will then be divided by the total of
Medicaid FFS inpatient days and Medicaid MC inpatient days
to arrive at a per day amount; and
2. The per day amount calculated in (2)(B)1. will be
multiplied by the Medicaid FFS inpatient days to arrive at the
FFS inpatient direct Medicaid payment.
(C) The division will calculate the inpatient direct Medicaid
payment for new hospitals as follows:
1. In the absence of adequate cost report data, a new
hospital’s Medicaid share of the inpatient FRA assessment
shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the weighted average
statewide Medicaid per day amount, as calculated in paragraph
(2)(B)1., for the hospital type (i.e., acute care hospital, psychiatric
hospital, long-term care hospital, rehabilitation hospital); and
2. In the absence of Medicaid FFS inpatient days, a new
hospital’s paid days shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the
average statewide Medicaid FFS inpatient days for the hospital
type (i.e., acute care hospital, psychiatric hospital, long term
care hospital, rehabilitation hospital). These days are then
multiplied by the per day amount calculated in (2)(C)1. to arrive
at the FFS inpatient direct Medicaid payment.
(D) Effective for payments made on or after July 1, 2025, only
the FFS component of the Medicaid share of the inpatient
assessment will be included in the inpatient direct Medicaid
payment.
(3) Outpatient Direct Medicaid Payments.
(A) Outpatient direct Medicaid payments will be made to
hospitals for the following allowable MO HealthNet cost:
1. The increased MO HealthNet cost resulting from the FRA
assessment becoming an allowable cost on January 1, 1999.
(B) The division will calculate the outpatient direct Medicaid
payment as follows:
1. The Medicaid share of the outpatient FRA assessment
will be calculated by dividing the hospital’s outpatient
Medicaid charges, FFS and MC, by the total outpatient hospital
charges from the base year cost report to arrive at the Medicaid
utilization percentage. This percentage is then multiplied by
the outpatient FRA assessment for the current SFY to arrive at
the increased allowable Medicaid cost for the outpatient FRA
assessment; and
2. The FFS outpatient ratio will be calculated by dividing
the hospital’s outpatient FFS Medicaid charges by the hospital’s
outpatient Medicaid charges, FFS and MC. This ratio is then
multiplied by the increased allowable Medicaid cost for the
outpatient FRA assessment to arrive at the FFS outpatient direct
Medicaid payment.
(C) The division will calculate the outpatient direct Medicaid
payment for new hospitals as follows:
1. In the absence of a base year cost report, a new hospital’s
Medicaid share of the outpatient FRA assessment shall be one
hundred percent (100%) of the weighted average statewide
Medicaid utilization percentage, as calculated in paragraph (3)
(B)1., for the hospital type (i.e., acute care hospital, psychiatric
hospital, long term care hospital, rehabilitation hospital).
This percentage is then multiplied by the outpatient FRA
assessment for the current SFY to arrive at the increased
allowable Medicaid cost for the outpatient FRA assessment;
and
2. In the absence of a base year cost report, a new
hospital’s FFS outpatient ratio shall be one hundred percent
(100%) of the weighted average statewide FFS outpatient
ratio, as calculated in paragraph (3)(B)2., for the hospital type
(i.e., acute care hospital, psychiatric hospital, long term care
hospital, rehabilitation hospital). This ratio is then multiplied
by the increased allowable Medicaid cost for the outpatient
FRA assessment to arrive at the FFS direct Medicaid payment.
(D) Effective for payments made on or after July 1, 2022, only
the FFS component of the Medicaid share of the outpatient FRA
assessment will be included in the outpatient direct Medicaid
payment.
(4) Acuity Adjustment Payment (AAP).
(A) Beginning with SFY 2026, hospitals that are paid on a per
diem and meet the requirements set forth below shall receive
an AAP. A hospital that is designated as a long-term acute care
hospital, free-standing psychiatric hospital, or a free-standing
rehabilitation hospital does not qualify to receive an AAP. For
purposes of this section, Medicaid payments received shall
include the following payments:
1. The Medicaid per diem payments, AAP, PC payment, and
stop-loss payment (SLP).
(B) A hospital shall receive an AAP if the hospital’s MO
HealthNet case mix index is greater than a threshold set
annually by the division. The preliminary AAP is calculated
by multiplying the hospital’s MO HealthNet case mix index
times the estimated Medicaid FFS claims payments for the
coming SFY. The estimated Medicaid FFS claims payments are
calculated by multiplying the Medicaid FFS inpatient days times
the per diem for the coming SFY. If the hospital’s estimated
Medicaid FFS claims payments for the coming SFY plus the
preliminary AAP exceeds the hospital’s prior SFY Medicaid FFS
payments received increased by a stop-gain percentage, the
preliminary AAP will be reduced so the estimated Medicaid
FFS claims payments for the coming SFY plus the final AAP
is equal to the stop-gain percent of the hospital’s prior SFY
Medicaid FFS payments received. If no reduction is necessary,
the preliminary AAP shall be considered final.
(C) The annual final AAP will be calculated for each hospital
at the beginning of each SFY. The annual amount will be paid
out over the number of financial cycles during the SFY.
(5) Poison Control (PC) Payment.
(A) The PC payment shall be determined for hospitals which
operated a poison control center during the base year and
which continues to operate a poison control center. The PC
payment shall reimburse the hospital for the Medicaid share
of the total poison control cost and shall be determined as
follows:
1. The total poison control cost from the base year cost
report will be divided by the total hospital days from the base
year cost report to determine a cost per day. This cost per
day will then be multiplied by the estimated Medicaid FFS
inpatient days and Medicaid MC inpatient days; and
2. The annual final PC payment will be calculated for each
eligible hospital at the beginning of each SFY. The annual
amount will be paid out over the number of financial cycles
during the SFY.
(6) Stop-Loss Payment (SLP) for Hospitals That Are Reimbursed
Under the Per Diem Reimbursement Methodology.
(A) Beginning with SFY 2026 hospitals that are paid on a
per diem and meet the requirements set forth below shall
receive an SLP. For purposes of this section, Medicaid payments
received shall include the following payments:
1. The Medicaid per diem payments, AAP, PC payment,
and SLP.
(B) Total estimated Medicaid FFS payments for the coming
SFY for each hospital shall include estimated Medicaid FFS
claims payments, and any final AAP and PC payment. The
total estimated Medicaid FFS payments for each hospital
shall be subtracted from the hospital’s prior SFY Medicaid FFS
payments received then summed to calculate a total increase
or decrease in payments for the entire private ownership
group. A positive result represents a decrease in payments and
a negative amount represents an increase in payments. If the
result is a decrease in total payments to the private ownership
group, this amount shall represent the total stop-loss amount.
1. SLP will be made if a total stop-loss amount was
calculated in subsection (6)(B). Each hospital that shows a
decrease in Medicaid payments shall receive a SLP in the
amount of the decrease in payments unless the sum of each
hospital’s SLP is greater than the total stop-loss amount. If the
sum is greater than the total stop-loss amount, each hospital’s
SLP shall be calculated by multiplying the total stop-loss
amount times the ratio of the hospital’s decrease in Medicaid
payments to the total decrease in payments for the entire
private ownership group.
2. Free-standing psychiatric hospitals. Total estimated
Medicaid FFS payments for the coming SFY for each hospital
shall include estimated Medicaid FFS claims payments, and
any final AAP and PC payment. The total estimated Medicaid
FFS payments for each hospital shall be subtracted from the
hospital’s prior SFY Medicaid FFS payments received then
summed to calculate a total increase or decrease in payments
for the entire privately owned free-standing psychiatric hospital
ownership group. A positive result represents a decrease in
payments and a negative amount represents an increase in
payments.
A. If a hospital has a decrease in payments as calculated
in paragraph (6)(B)2., the hospital will receive a payment equal
to the amount of payment decrease. If the hospital has an
increase in payments as calculated in paragraph (6)(B)2., the
hospital will not receive any additional payments.
(C) The annual SLP will be calculated for each hospital at the
beginning of each SFY. The annual amount will be paid out
over the number of financial cycles during the SFY.
(7) Stop-Loss Payment (SLP) for Hospitals That Are Reimbursed
Under the APR-DRG Reimbursement Methodology.
(A) Beginning with SFY 2026 hospitals that are paid under
the APR-DRG and meet the requirements set forth below shall
receive a SLP.
1. Total estimated Medicaid claims-based payments from
the DRG base year are calculated. The DRG claims based
system is calculated based on 13 CSR 70-15.010(6). The FFS
supplemental payments for the most recent SFY are added to
each hospital’s estimated reimbursement.
2. The estimated DRG payments are then subtracted
from the per diem repriced claims plus the FFS supplemental
payments to get an estimated difference in reimbursement.
3. If the estimated DRG payment is greater than the per
diem repriced claims plus the FFS supplemental payments,
then no SLP will be calculated.
4. If the estimated DRG payment is less than the per diem
repriced claims plus the FFS supplemental payments, then a
SLP will be calculated to hold a hospital to a maximum of a one
and seven thousand five hundred forty-five ten thousandths
percent (1.7545%) estimated loss.
5. SLP special considerations.
A. If the following hospital types are eligible for a SLP,
then their stop loss is held to zero percent (0%):
(I) Federally deemed CAHs;
(II) Safety net hospitals as defined in subparagraph (13)
(A)1.A.; and
(III) State-deemed CAHs.
6. The annual SLP will be calculated for each hospital
at the beginning of each SFY. The annual amount will be
processed over the number of financial cycles during the SFY.
7. The SLP calculations are based on a prospective estimate
using historical claims data and will not be trued up with
actual claims data at the end of the SFY.
(8) Psych Adjustment (PA) Payment.
(A) Beginning with SFY 2026, hospitals that have FFS
psychiatric hospital days as identified in the MMIS shall receive
a PA payment.
1. The PA payment is a set dollar amount appropriated
by the General Assembly pursuant to section 11.780 of CCS
SS SCS HCS HB 11 (2025), and distributed to eligible hospitals
proportionately as follows:
A. The FFS psychiatric hospital days for each hospital
will be divided by the total FFS psychiatric hospital days for
all hospitals to determine a percentage for each hospital. This
percentage will then be multiplied by the set dollar amount
in paragraph (8)(A)1. to determine the PA payment. The FFS
psychiatric hospital days are paid days from the second prior
calendar year.
2. The annual final PA payment will be calculated for each
eligible hospital at the beginning of each SFY. The annual
amount will be paid out over the number of financial cycles
during the SFY.
(9) Medicaid Direct Graduate Medical Education (GME)
Payments. Beginning with SFY 2023, a GME payment calculated
as the sum of the intern and resident based GME payment and
the GME stop-loss payment shall be made to any acute care
hospital that provides graduate medical education.
(A) Intern and resident (I&R) based GME payment. The I&R
based GME payment will be based on the per I&R Medicaid
allocated GME costs not to exceed a maximum amount per I&R.
The division will determine the number of full-time equivalent
(FTE) I&Rs. Total GME costs will be determined using Worksheet
A of the base year cost report adjusted by the trend index.
Total GME costs is multiplied by the ratio of Medicaid FFS and
MC days to total days to determine the Medicaid allocated
GME costs which is then divided by the number of FTE I&Rs
to calculate the Medicaid allocated cost per I&R. The I&R
based GME payment is calculated as the number of FTE I&Rs
multiplied by the minimum established by the division or the
Medicaid allocated cost per I&R.
(B) GME stop-loss payment. The total I&R based GME payment
for each hospital shall be subtracted from the hospital’s prior
SFY GME payments received then summed to calculate a
total increase or decrease in payments for the entire group of
hospitals that provide graduate medical education. A positive
result represents a decrease in payments and a negative amount
represents an increase in payments. If the result is a decrease in
total payments to the hospitals, this amount shall represent the
total GME stop-loss amount. GME stop-loss payments will be
made if a total GME stop-loss payment amount was calculated
in the subsection above. Each hospital that shows a decrease in
GME Medicaid payments shall receive a GME stop-loss payment
in the amount of the decrease in payments unless the sum of
each hospital’s GME stop-loss payment is greater than the total
GME stop-loss amount. If the sum is greater than the total GME
stop-loss amount, each hospital’s GME stop-loss payment shall
be calculated by multiplying the total GME stop-loss amount
times the ratio of the hospital’s decrease in GME Medicaid
payments to the total decrease in GME Medicaid payments.
(C) Hospitals who implement a GME program prior to July 1
of the SFY and do not have a base year cost report to determine
GME costs shall receive an I&R based GME payment based on
the statewide average per resident amount (PRA) determined
as follows:
1. The number of FTE I&Rs shall be reported to the division
by June 1 prior to the beginning of the SFY in order to have a
GME payment calculated; and
2. The I&R based GME payment shall be calculated as
the number of FTE I&Rs multiplied by the Medicaid capped
statewide average PRA. The Medicaid capped statewide
average PRA is calculated as follows:
A. By applying a straight average to the list of hospital
PRA’s with the following criteria:
(I) A hospital’s PRA used in the straight average shall
be the minimum as established by the division or the hospital’s
actual PRA.
(D) Hospitals who expand a currently federally approved
GME program as of July 1 of the SFY shall have the ability to
submit updated I&R numbers to the division.
1. The number of expanded FTE I&Rs shall be reported to
the division by June 1 prior to the beginning of the SFY in order
to have a GME payment calculated; and
2. The I&R based GME payment shall be calculated as the
expanded number of FTE I&Rs multiplied by the minimum
of the hospital-specific PRA or Medicaid capped statewide
average PRA as described in subsection (9)(A).
(E) The hospital’s I&R based GME payment plus GME stop-loss
payment, if applicable, will be calculated for each hospital at
the beginning of each SFY. The annual amount will be paid on
a quarterly basis during the SFY.
(10) Medicaid Indirect Medical Education (IME) Payment.
Beginning with SFY 2026, an IME payment will be paid to
public acute care safety-net hospitals who serve as the primary
teaching hospitals for the state’s two (2) public medical
schools, University of Missouri – Columbia School of Medicine
and University of Missouri – Kansas City School of Medicine.
The payment will be for the difference between IME payments
paid under the DRG methodology and one hundred percent
(100%) of allowable funds. The payment will be calculated as
follows:
(A) IME add-on amount = wage adjusted rate x IME factor;
1. Wage adjusted rate is defined in 13 CSR 70-15.010(6)
(G)4.A.(I)(a); and
2. IME factor is defined in 13 CSR 70-15.010(6)(G)3.C.
(B) Case-mix index as defined in subsection (1)(B).
(C) Claim count: FFS and MC paid claims from the second
prior SFY.
1. Example: SFY 2026 IME payment will utilize SFY 2024
claim counts.
2. Future updates will utilize FFS and MC paid claims from
the second full prior calendar year (i.e., for SFY 2027 beginning
July 1, 2026, calendar year 2024 paid claims will be utilized).
(D) Formula: IME add-on amount x case-mix index x claim
count.
(E) The hospital’s IME payment will be calculated for each
eligible hospital at the beginning of each SFY. The annual
amount will be processed on a quarterly basis during the SFY.
(11) Children’s Outlier (CO) Payment. Effective for discharges on
or after July 1, 2025, children’s outlier payments will no longer
be made.
(A) The outlier year is based on a discharge date between July
1 and June 30.
(B) Beginning July 1, 2022, for fee-for-service claims only,
outlier payments for medically necessary inpatient services
involving exceptionally high cost or exceptionally long lengths
of stay for MO HealthNet-eligible children under the age of six (6)
will be made to hospitals meeting the federal disproportionate
share hospital (DSH) requirements in paragraph (10)(B)1. and for
MO HealthNet-eligible infants under the age of one (1) will be
made to any other Missouri Medicaid hospital.
1. The following criteria must be met to be eligible for
outlier payments for children one (1) year of age to children
under six (6) years of age:
A. If the facility offered nonemergency obstetric services
as of December 21, 1987, there must be at least two (2)
obstetricians with staff privileges at the hospital who have
agreed to provide obstetric services to individuals entitled to
these services under the Missouri Medicaid plan. In the case of
a hospital located in a rural area (area outside of a metropolitan
statistical area, as defined by the federal Executive Office of
Management and Budget), the term obstetrician includes
any physician with staff privileges at the hospital to perform
nonemergency obstetric procedures. This section does not
apply to hospitals either with inpatients predominantly under
eighteen (18) years of age or which did not offer nonemergency
obstetric services as of December 21, 1987; and
B. As determined from the base year audited Medicaid
cost report, the hospital must have either—
(I) A Medicaid inpatient utilization rate (MIUR) at
least one (1) standard deviation above the state’s mean MIUR
for all Missouri hospitals. The MIUR will be expressed as the
ratio of total Medicaid days (TMD) (including such patients
who receive benefits through a managed care entity) provided
under a state plan divided by the provider’s total number of
inpatient days (TNID). The state’s mean MIUR will be expressed
as the ratio of the sum of the total number of the Medicaid
days for all Missouri hospitals divided by the sum of the total
patient days for the same Missouri hospitals. Data for hospitals
no longer participating in the program will be excluded;
MIUR = TMD / TNID
or
(II) A low-income utilization rate (LIUR) in excess of
twenty-five percent (25%). The LIUR shall be the sum (expressed
as a percentage) of the fractions, calculated as follows:
(a) Total MO HealthNet patient revenues (TMPR)
paid to the hospital for patient services under a state plan plus
the amount of the cash subsidies (CS) directly received from
state and local governments, divided by the total net revenues
(TNR) (charges minus contractual allowances, discounts, and
the like) for patient services plus the CS; and
(b) The total amount of the hospital’s charges for
patient services attributable to charity care (CC) less CS directly
received from state and local governments in the same period,
divided by the total amount of the hospital’s charges (THC)
for patient services. The total patient charges attributed to CC
shall not include any contractual allowances and discounts
other than for indigent patients not eligible for MO HealthNet
under a state plan.
LIUR = ((TMPR + CS) / (TNR + CS)) + ((CC - CS) / THC)
2. The following criteria must be met for the services to be
eligible for outlier review:
A. The patient must be a MO HealthNet-eligible infant
under the age of one (1) year or, for hospitals that meet the
federal DSH requirements, a MO HealthNet-eligible child under
the age of six (6) years, as of the date of discharge; and
B. One (1) of the following conditions must be satisfied:
(I) The total reimbursable charges for dates of service
must be at least one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the sum of
claim payments for each claim; or
(II) The dates of service must exceed sixty (60) days
and less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the total service days
were reimbursed by MO HealthNet.
3. Claims eligible for outlier review must—
A. Have been submitted in their entirety for claims
processing;
B. The claim must have been paid; and
C. An annual outlier file, for paid claims only, must be
submitted to the division no later than December 31 of the
second calendar year following the end of the outlier year (i.e.,
claims for outlier year 2022 are due no later than December
31, 2024).
4. After the review, reimbursable costs for each claim
will be determined using the following data from the audited
Medicaid hospital cost report for the year ending in the same
calendar year as the outlier year (i.e., Medicaid hospital cost
reports ending in 2022 will be used for the 2022 outlier year):
A. Average routine (room and board) costs for the
general and special care units for all days of the stay eligible
per the outlier review; and
B. Ancillary cost-to-charge ratios applied to claim
ancillary charges determined eligible for reimbursement per
the outlier review.
5. The outlier payments will be determined for each
hospital as follows:
A. Sum all reimbursable costs for all eligible outlier
claims to equal total reimbursable costs;
B. Subtract total claim payments, which includes MO
HealthNet claims payments, third-party payments, and copays, from total reimbursable costs to equal excess cost; and
C. Multiply excess costs by fifty percent (50%).
(12) Safety Net Hospitals.
(A) Inpatient hospital providers may qualify as a safetynet hospital based on the following criteria. Hospitals shall
qualify for a period of only one (1) SFY and must requalify at
the beginning of each SFY to continue their safety-net hospital
designation:
1. As determined from the most recent DSH survey for
the MIUR and LIUR and from the base year cost report for the
licensed beds and the occupancy rate—
A. A public non-state governmental acute care hospital
with a LIUR of at least twenty percent (20%), a MIUR greater
than one (1) standard deviation from the mean, is licensed for
fifty (50) inpatient beds or more, and has an occupancy rate of
at least forty percent (40%). The hospital must meet one (1) of
the federally mandated DSH qualifications;
2. The hospital is owned or operated by the Board of
Curators as defined in Chapter 172, RSMo; or
3. The hospital is a public hospital operated by the
Department of Mental Health primarily for the care and
treatment of mental disorders.
(13) Hospital Mergers. Hospitals that merge their operations
under one (1) Medicare and Medicaid provider number shall
have their Medicaid reimbursement combined under the
surviving hospital’s (the hospital’s whose Medicare and
Medicaid provider number remained active) Medicaid provider
number.
(A) The other Medicaid payments, if applicable, shall be—
1. Combined under the surviving hospital’s Medicaid
provider number for the remainder of the SFY in which the
merger occurred; and
2. Calculated for subsequent SFYs based on the combined
data from the base year cost report for each facility.
(14) Payment Assurance. The state will pay each hospital, which
furnishes the services in accordance with the requirements of
the state plan, the amount determined for services furnished
by the hospital according to the standards and methods set
forth in the rules implementing the hospital reimbursement
program.
(15) Directed Payments. Effective July 1, 2022, the Missouri Med
icaid managed care organizations shall make inpatient and
outpatient directed payments to in-state in-network hospitals
pursuant to 42 CFR 438.6(c) as approved by the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services.
