Abstract:	This interim final rule with comment period implements revised Medicare severity long term care diagnosis related group (MS-LTC-DRG) relative weights for payment under the long term care hospital (LTCH) prospective payment system (PPS) for federal fiscal year (FY) 2009. We are revising the MS LTC DRG relative weights for FY 2009 due to the misapplication of our established methodology in the calculation of the budget neutrality factor. The revised FY 2009 MS LTC DRG relative weights are effective for the remainder of FY 2009 (that is, June 3, 2009 through September 30, 2009).
