  • Title: Health Care Financing Administration--Medicare program; definition and reimbursement of hospital intensive care type units. Final rule.
    Journal: Fed Regist; 1980 Aug 18; 45(161):54757-60. PubMed ID: 10298057.
    Abstract:
    This amendment to the Medicare regulations clarifies the requirements for the reimbursement of hospital "special care units" and substitutes the term "intensive care type unit" for that term wherever it appears in regulations. The current regulation has been misinterpreted by some hospitals as applying to units that furnish a level of care that is less than that furnished in the traditional intensive care unit. The revised regulation makes clear that only those units furnishing a level of care equivalent to that furnished in intensive care units qualify for the separate reimbursement specified in 42 CFR 405.452(d)(8).
