AbstractThis notice establishes schedules of salary equivalency guidelines for Medicare program reimbursement for the reasonable costs of respiratory therapy services furnished under an arrangement with a hospital or other institution. These schedules update the schedule of guidelines that was published in the Federal Register on October 6, 1978 (43 FR 46378) with respect to registered therapists and certified therapists. These schedules also include, for the first time, salary equivalency amounts calculated for respiratory therapists who are neither registered nor certified. These schedules are to be used by the Medicare program's fiscal intermediaries to determine the maximum hourly amount that the Medicare program will pay to a hospital or other institution for covered respiratory therapy services furnished under an arrangement. In addition, these guidelines would also apply, where appropriate, to reimbursement under the Medicaid program as specified in 42 CFR 447.250 et seq. of the regulations.
