Since the publication of the home health prospective payment system final rule on Aug. 29, 2007, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has identified technical errors. CMS will address these technical errors and corrections in the Federal Register, as a correction notice, in the near future. When the correction notice is published, the public should refer to the notice as official notification and publication of the errors and corrections.
CMS has also updated the previous posting of more user-friendly versions of select tables from the final rule to include more user-friendly versions of the wage index-related addendums for non-urban and urban areas. Read the corrections document.
