TRICARE Reimbursement Manual 6010.61-M, April 1, 2015
Hospice
Chapter 11
Addendum C (FY 2016)
Hospice Rate Information - Hospice Wage Indexes For Rural Areas - FY 2016
Revision:  C-1, March 10, 2017
Source: 80 FR 47142. Medicare program; FY 2016 Hospice Wage Index and Payment Rate Update and Hospice Quality Reporting Requirements; Final Rule.
The FY 2016 wage indexes for urban and rural areas have been combined into a single transitional file available on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) web site at http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/Hospice/index.html. The wage index file provides a crosswalk between the FY 2016 wage index using the current OMB delineations in effect on FY 2015 and the FY 2016 wage index using the revised OMB delineations, as well as the transition wage index values that will be in effect in FY 2016. Refer to Addendum B (FY 2016) for additional details regarding the transition process.
This is a temporary consolidation of previously separate addendums (separate urban and rural wage index addendums) to accommodate the transition Wage Index that is to be used for FY 2016.
