N.J. Admin. Code § 10:52-8.6

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 10:52-8.6 - Distribution of Graduate Medical Education (GME) effective on or after July 6, 1998

(a) Effective for payments on or after July 6, 1998, the amount appropriated for GME shall be distributed to all eligible acute care teaching hospitals. An eligible acute care teaching hospital is defined as an acute care teaching hospital that has a combined Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare-Plan A fee-for-service utilization at or above the median of all New Jersey acute care hospitals. The Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare-Plan A fee-for-service utilization is calculated using the hospital-specific Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare-Plan A fee-for-service days divided by the hospital-specific total days.

(b) The distribution of the GME payment to eligible acute care teaching hospitals is based on the hospital-specific percentage of total weighted GME FTEs, where weighted GME FTEs equals the hospital-specific GME FTEs times the hospital-specific Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare-Plan A fee-for-service days divided by the total Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare-Plan A hospital fee-for-service days for all eligible hospitals.
