Medicare Part A Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Prospective Payment System (PPS) Pricer Update FY 2008 for 2 Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) with New Wage Index Values -- Correction
CMS has determined that in the process of developing the most recent hospital wage index, an inpatient hospital provider was inadvertently assigned to the wrong Core-Based
Statistical Area (CBSA). This provider was incorrectly located in CBSA 16180 (Carson City, NV) instead of CBSA 39900 (Reno-Sparks, NV). Accordingly, we are revising the wage index values for CBSA 16180 Carson City, NV from 0.9353 to the corrected value of 1.0003. Similarly, we are revising the wage index value for CBSA 39900 Reno-Sparks, NV from 1.0959 to the corrected value of 1.0715
