2006 proposed fee schedule - American Society of Clinical Oncology

231
revised paragraph, a facility would be required to submit a
listing of all outpatient dialysis patients (including all
home patients) treated during its most recently completed
and filed cost report (cost reporting requirements under
§413.198) showing--
● Age of patients, and the percentage of patients
under the age of 18;
● Individual patient diagnosis;
● Home patients and ages;
● In-facility patients, staff assisted, or
self-dialysis;
● Diabetic patients; and
● Patients isolated because of contagious disease.
(4) Proposed Removal of §413.186 (Payment exception:
Isolated essential facility)
Since pediatric facilities are the only ESRD facilities
that can now apply for exceptions, we are proposing to
remove §413.186 to conform with the elimination of
§413.182(b), (c) and (e) as discussed above and redesignate
§413.190 as the new §413.186. We would also rename the
section to read, “Payment exception: Self-dialysis training
costs in pediatric facilities”. No further changes are
proposed to §413.186.
(5) Proposed Removal of §413.188 (Payment exception:
Extraordinary circumstances)
