Abstract:
The Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) program statute provides that eligible Teaching Health Centers receive payments for both direct and indirect costs associated with training residents in community-based ambulatory patient care centers. THCGME payments are prospective payments and the statute provides for a reconciliation process, through which overpayments may be recouped and underpayments may be adjusted at the end of the fiscal year. This data collection instrument will gather information relating to the numbers of residents in THCGME training programs in order to reconcile payments for both direct and indirect costs. The likely responders to the THCGME Reconciliation Tool are existing THCGME awardees.

Short Statement:
The initial request was developed during the first year of the program. The original number of respondents was based on projected program growth. The number of respondents has been adjusted to reflect the actual number of THCGME programs. The Reconciliation Tool has been utilized by THC awardees for three cycles and takes less time to complete than projected at the start of the program. A column requesting the date of an absence was added to the tool. There are two THCGME payments each fiscal year. One payment covers three months of training and the other payment covers nine months of training. Identifying the point within the fiscal year that an absence in training occurred ensures an accurate recoupment amount.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$8,903
