| mail order item | that beneficiaries that do not obtain their testing supplies through mail order may purchase these items at a local pharmacy or local storefront.

| main providers, | a facility or organization that is either created by, or acquired by, a main provider for the purposes of furnishing health care services of the same type as those furnished by the main provider under the name, ownership, and financial and administrative control of the main provider * * * a department of a provider may not itself be qualified to participate in Medicare as a provider under § 489.2 * * * the term ‘department of a provider' does not include an RHC or * * * an FQHC.” Thus, if a facility offers services that are similar to those provided in a freestanding physician's office, and the facility meets the criteria to become provider-based under § 413.65, the facility would be considered a “department of a provider.” More specifically, the hospital would integrate the facility into the main provider's outpatient department, since the facility offers health care services of the same type as those furnished by the main provider. In addition, because a physician's office would not receive its own provider agreement or receive a Medicare provider number under § 489.2 unlike an FQHC or an RHC, it cannot be considered a “provider-based entity,” rather it would be considered a department of a provider. (We note that a provider-based RHC or FQHC may, by itself, be qualified to participate in Medicare as a provider under § 489.2 and, thus, would be classified not as a “department of a provider” but as a “provider-based entity,” as defined at § 413.65(a)(2).) This provider-based facility, or provider-based clinic, as the commenter referred to it, would be reported on the main provider's Medicare cost report as an outpatient service cost center, on Worksheet A, line 60. With the exception of RHC and FQHC salaries that have been excluded from the wage index beginning with FY 2004 (68 FR 45395), the salaries attributable to employees working in these outpatient service cost centers, including emergency departments, are included in the main provider's total salaries on Worksheet S-3, Part II, line 1, and accordingly, are included in the wage index calculation. We have historically included the salaries and wages of hospital employees working in the outpatient departments in the calculation of the hospital wage index since these employees often work in both the IPPS and in the outpatient areas of the hospital. Consistent with this longstanding treatment of outpatient salary costs in the wage index calculation, we believe it is appropriate to continue to include the salaries and wages of employees working in outpatient departments, including provider-based clinics, in the wage index calculation. | United States | 70 FR 47278 |

| minor correction, | “one or more repairs of a minor nature, including but not limited to, spiking, anchoring, hand tamping, and joint bolt replacement that is accomplished with hand tools or handheld pneumatic tools only.” The term does not include welding, machine spiking, machine tamping, or any similar type of repair. This term was added to provide guidance as to what type of work a roadway work group may perform under the exceptions for hi-rail vehicles and automated inspection cars being used for “inspection or minor correction purposes” ( see paragraphs (e)(3)(i) and (ii)). The definition itself is based, in part, on the language in subpart B of part 214 describing “repairs or inspections of a minor nature” for purposes of an exception to the fall protection requirements for bridge workers. See § 214.103(d). FRA recognizes that the language in the bridge worker rule also contained the condition that the work be “completed by working exclusively between the outside rails [of the occupied track].” See id. As FRA has decided not to impose that same limitation here, the language has been tailored to ensure that the hi-rail vehicles or automated inspection cars are not being used in such a manner so as to create similar levels of noise and dust generated by the operation of on-track, self-propelled equipment performing machine tamping or machine surfacing, for example. | United States | 76 FR 74585 |
