CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 4, § 10.6
Payment Adjustments
Payments are adjusted to reflect geographic differences in labor-related costs. In
addition, beginning January 1, 2006, rural sole community hospitals (SCHs) receive a 7.1
percent increase in payments for most services, with certain exceptions, including
separately paid drugs and biologicals. This adjustment is authorized under section
1833(t)(13)(B) of the Act, and implemented in accordance with section 419.43(g) of the
regulations. The adjustment is automatically applied in Pricer.
The Secretary may also establish other adjustments or special adjustments for certain
classes of hospitals.
