Medicare Graduate Medical Education Payments to Teaching Hospitals (PE200705-03)
On June 1, 2007, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services finalized a change concerning Medicare Graduate Medical Education (GME) payments to teaching hospitals. The change is included in a Final Rule titled, “Medicare Program; Prospective Payment System for Long‑Term Care Hospitals RY 2008: Final Annual Payment Rate Updates, and Policy Changes; and Final Hospital Direct and Indirect Graduate Medical Education Policy Changes.” The Final Rule modifies the rules concerning GME payments to teaching hospitals with respect to the time that residents spend training in non-hospital settings.
