Title: Payment for Nursing and Allied Health Science Education (BPD-685-F)
Abstract: This rule will set forth our policy for the payment of the costs of approved nursing and allied health science programs, as directed by section 6205(b)(2) of OBRA '89. For the most part, the provisions set forth in this rule restate or clarify our current policies governing these costs, which were previously set forth in the provider reimbursement manual and other documents, but have never been included in the regulations. In addition, we are amending the list of approved programs and clarifying payment rules for certified registered nurse anesthetist programs. This rule will also implement section 4004 of OBRA '90 which provides that, effective with cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 1990, under certain conditions, costs incurred by a hospital or educational institution related to the hospital for clinical training are treated as pass-through costs and paid on the basis of reasonable cost even though the hospital does not operate the education programs.
