Hatch Chairman The Honorable Ron Wyden Ranking Member Committee on Finance United States Senate The Honorable Greg Walden Chairman The Honorable Frank Pallone, Jr. Ranking Member Committee on Energy and Commerce House of Representatives The Honorable Kevin Brady Chairman The Honorable Richard Neal Ranking Member Committee on Ways and Means House of Representatives Subject: Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services: Medicare Program; CY 2018 Inpatient Hospital Deductible and Hospital and Extended Care Services Coinsurance Amounts Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our amended report1 on a major rule promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) entitled Medicare Program; CY 2018 Inpatient Hospital Deductible and Hospital and Extended Care Services Coinsurance Amounts (RIN: 0938- AT05). We received the rule on December 20, 2017. It was published in the Federal Register as a notice on November 21, 2017. 82 Fed. Reg. 55,367. The notice announces the inpatient hospital deductible and the hospital and extended care services coinsurance amounts for services furnished in calendar year (CY) 2018 under Medicare's Hospital Insurance Program (Medicare Part A). The Medicare statute specifies the formulae used to determine these amounts. For CY 2018, the inpatient hospital deductible will be $1,340. The daily coinsurance amounts for CY 2018 will be: $335 for the 61st through 90th day of hospitalization in a benefit period; $670 for lifetime reserve days; and $167.50 for the 21st through 1 00th day of extended care services in a skilled nursing facility in a benefit period. 1 We are issuing this amended report to correct a statement in the original report dated January 3, 2018, that CMS did not comply with the 60-day delay in effective requirement of 5 U.S.C. § 801 (a)(3)(A).
