  • Title: Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS); reimbursement of individual health providers--Department of Defense. Final rule.
    Journal: Fed Regist; 1991 Oct 04; 56(193):50273. PubMed ID: 10114374.
    Abstract:
    The Department of Defense is publishing this document to correct errors in the final rule on reimbursement of individual health providers contained in section 199.14(g). In addition to typographical and proofreading errors, the final rule failed to specify that changes to 1991 payment levels apply to the lesser of prevailing charges or the fiscal year 1988 prevailing charge levels adjusted by the Medicare Economic Index. The Fiscal Year 1991 Defense Appropriations Act prohibited payments "in excess of amounts allowed in fiscal year 1990 for similar services." Such amounts are, by definition, the lesser of prevailing charges, MEI-limited 1988 prevailing charge levels, or actual charges.
