Graduate Medical Education Reimbursement for Public Teaching Hospitals


(1)

Graduate medical education payment is reimbursement made to an institution for the costs of an approved medical training program. The State makes GME payments to any in-state public acute care hospital providing a major teaching program, defined as a hospital with more than 200 residents or interns. Funding for public teaching hospital GME is not included in the “capitation rates” paid to managed care plans under the Oregon Health Plan resulting in hospitals with medical teaching programs not being able to capture GME costs when contracting with managed care plans.

(2)

For each qualifying public hospital, the payment amount is initially determined based on hospital specific costs for medical education as reported in the Medicare Cost Report for the most recent completed reporting year (becomes base year).

(3)

The GME payment is calculated as follows:

(a)

Total direct medical education (DME) costs consist of the costs for medical residency and the paramedical education programs. Title XIX DME costs are determined based on the ratio of Title XIX days to total days applied to the total DME.

(b)

Indirect medical education (IME) costs are derived by first computing the percent of IME to total Medicare inpatient payments. This is performed by dividing the IME Adjustment reported in the Medicare Cost Report by the sum of this amount and Medicare payments for DRG amount — other than outlier payments, inpatient program capital, and organ acquisition. The resulting percent is then applied to net allowable costs (total allowable costs less Total DME costs, computed as discussed in the previous paragraph). Title XIX IME costs are then determined based upon the ratio of Title XIX days to total days.

(c)

The total net Title XIX GME is the sum of Title XIX IME and DME costs. The GME reimbursement is made quarterly. Reimbursement is limited to the availability of public funds, specifically, the amount of public funds available for GME attributable to the Title XIX patient population. GME is rebased yearly.

(4)

Total GME payments will not exceed that determined by using Medicare reimbursement. The Medicare upper limit will be determined from the most recent Medicare Cost Report and performed for all inpatient acute hospitals and separately for State operated inpatient acute hospitals in accordance with 42 CFR 447.272(a) and (b). The upper limit review will be performed before the GME payment is made.
