    Cost of Hospital and Medical Care and Treatment Furnished by the 
    United States; Certain Rates Regarding Recovery From Tortiously Liable 
    Third Persons
    
        By virtue of the authority vested in the President by Section 2(a) 
    of P.L. 87-693 (76 Stat. 593; 42 U.S.C. 2652), and delegated to the 
    Director of the Office of Management and Budget by Executive Order No. 
    11541 of July 1, 1970 (35 FR 10737), the revised set of Department of 
    Defense rates outlined below are hereby established. These rates are 
    for use in connection with the recovery, from tortiously liable third 
    persons, of the cost of hospital and medical care treatment furnished 
    by the United States (Part 43, Chapter I, Title 28, Code of Federal 
    Regulations) through three separate Federal agencies. The rates have 
    been established in accordance with the requirements of OMB Circular A-
    25, requiring reimbursement of the full cost of all services provided. 
    The rates are established as follows:
        Department of Defense. Historic costs including purchases of 
    supplies and equipment, base pay, allowances, permanent change of 
    station costs, retirement pay and health benefits accrual costs, 
    medical specialty pays and medical training are determined. These costs 
    are then adjusted to reflect civilian and military pay raises and 
    inflation to arrive at the estimated rates. An asset charge is included 
    to reflect depreciation.
        For the period beginning April 1, 1994, the rates herein superseded 
    those established by the Director of the Office of Management and 
    Budget on October 1, 1992 (57 CFR 48642).

    Director, Office of Management and Budget.

      payers (such as insurance companies). Pursuant to the provisions of 10 U.S.C. 1095, the inpatient daily       
      percentages are 55 percent hospital, 5 percent physician, 40 percent ancillary. The outpatient daily          
      percentages are 57 percent hospital, 10 percent physicians and 33 percent ancillary.                          
    \2\DOD civilian employees located in overseas areas shall be rendered a bill when services are performed.       
      Payment is due 60 days from the date of the bill.                                                             
    \3\Charges for PRIMUS/NAVCARE and high cost medications/services requested by external providers (Physicians,   
      Dentists, etc.) are only relevant to the Third Party Collection Program. Third party payers (such as insurance
      companies) shall be billed for high cost services in those instances in which non-active duty eligible        
      beneficiaries have medical insurance and are seen by providers external to a Military Medical Treatment       
      Facility (MTF) obtain the prescribed service or medication from an MTF. Eligible beneficiaries are not        
      personally liable for this cost and shall not be billed by the MTF. The standard cost of high cost medications
      includes the cost of the drugs and dispensing services.                                                       
    \4\All quantities shown are tablets unless otherwise stated. The third party charge is only for the strengths   
      and the dosage cited. Charges will vary if the strengths and dosage are changed. The method of computing      
      standard costs to be charged for high cost medications is actual cost to the pharmacy, plus a 30 percent      
      dispensing fee. Only medications listed in this schedule may be billed. If a different dose is issued for a   
      medication that is listed, only bill if the cost is $100 or more.                                             
    \5\The attending physician is to complete the common procedure terminology code to indicate the appropriate     
      procedure followed during domestic surgery.                                                                   
    \6\Cosmetic surgery rates will be charged dependents of active duty members, retirees, and their dependents and 
      survivors. The patient shall be charged the rate as specified in the FY 1994 reimbursable rates for an episode
      of care. The charges for elective cosmetic surgery are at the full reimbursement rate (designated as the other
      rate) in section 1-2, page 1-7 entitled Inpatient and Outpatient Rates). The patient will be responsible for  
      both the cost of the implant(s) and prescribed rates.                                                         
    Note: The implants and procedures used for the augmentation mammaplasty are in compliance with Federal Drug     
      Administration guidelines.                                                                                    
    \7\Each regional lipectomy will carry a separate charge. Regions include head and neck, abdomen, flanks, and    
      hips.                                                                                                         
    \8\These procedures are inclusive in the minor skin lesions. However, CHAMPUS separates them as noted here. All 
      charges are for the entire treatment regardless of the number of visits required.
