"For FY 2021, a 5 percent cap will be applied to any decrease in a hospitals LTCH PPS wage index from its FY 2020 LTCH PPS wage index. Per Change Request 11707, we have added new fields to the PSF that will allow this 5 percent cap to be handled by Pricer. This file is a list of LTCHs whose FY 2021 LTCH PPS wage index decreased by more than 5-percent along with their FY 2020 LTCH PPS wage index value. For these LTCHs, MACs will enter into the PSF a 1 in the Supplemental Wage Index Flag field (data element 64) and the LTCHs FY 2020 final wage index value (from column C in the MAC File tab) in the Supplemental Wage Index field (data element 63). If a MAC believes that an LTCH is either incorrectly included or excluded from the list of LTCHs that receive the 5 percent cap for the FY 2021 LTCH PPS wage index, please contact LTCHPPS@cms.hhs.gov for further instructions."
