Title: TRICARE Revision to CHAMPUS DRG-Based Payment System, Pricing of Hospital Claims 
Abstract: This rule proposes to change TRICARE's current regulatory provision for hospital claims priced under the diagnosis-related group (DRG)-based payment system. Claims are currently priced by using the rates and weights that are in effect on a beneficiary's date of admission. This rule proposes to change that provision, to price such claims by using the rates and weights that are in effect on a beneficiary's date of discharge.
