1 Wage Index Training NWO HFMA February 15, 2018
2 What is Wage Index? Section 1886(d)(3)(E) of the Social Security Act, Adjusting for Different Area Wage Levels, requires that as part of the methodology for determining prospective payments to hospitals, the Secretary must adjust the proportion of hospital costs attributable to wages and wage related costs for area differences in hospital wage levels. This adjustment factor, the wage index, reflects the relative hospital wage level in the geographic area compared to the national average hospital wage level. 2
3 What is the Wage Index Factor (WIF)? The WIF measures relative differences between each labor market s average hourly rate and the national average hourly rate. The WIF is a cost of living differentiator that is a primary driver in determining a health care provider s reimbursement under the Medicare Prospective Payment System (PPS). 3
4 Average Hourly Wage (AHW) Hospital compensation and paid hours are included to develop the geographic market s average hourly wage (AHW) weighted based on total adjusted salaries. The geographic market s AHW is compared to the National AHW to calculate the Wage Index Factor (WIF). Total DRG payments for the country are budget-neutral; therefore, the wage index is a zero-sum gain. 4
5 Example of How the Medicare Wage Index Factor is Calculated Labor Market: ABC Labor Market Hospital Name Salaries Hours AHW % of CBSA Hospital A $ 83,370,874 3,200,000 $ % Hospital B $ 49,244,995 1,485,000 $ % Hospital C $ 84,619,069 3,500,000 $ % Hospital D $ 64,370,601 2,400,000 $ % Hospital E $ 67,211,235 2,300,000 $ % Total $ 348,816,774 12,885,000 $ % Divided by National Average Hourly Rate $ Wage Index Factor for ABC Labor Market
6 How Does Wage Index Work? The WIF is applied to the labor component of the standardized amount which is approximately 65% of the total standardized amount. For FFY 2018: WIF <= 1.00 labor component = 62% WIF > 1.00 labor component = 68.3% The standardized amount is updated annually and published in the Federal Register. Labor markets referred to as a Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) as defined by the President s Office of Management and Budget. Every state, except for New Jersey and Rhode Island has a rural CBSA. 6

12 Cost Report Data Worksheet S-3, Part II and III Wage Index values are based on data reported by hospitals on Worksheet S-3, Parts II and III of their Medicare cost reports. These worksheets do not have any impact on Current Year Medicare Settlement they drive future Medicare PPS payments. The FFY 2020 wage index values are based on the data collected from the Medicare cost reports beginning in FFY 2016 (cost reports that began between 10/01/2015 through 09/30/2016). If a hospital has more than one cost reporting period beginning during this period: The longest period should be selected for review (consult MAC) If the periods are the same length, select the latest period 12
13 Wage Index Change Other wage related costs must be reported on employees or contractors W-2 or 1099 forms 13
14 Wage Index Timeline The deadline to submit Wage Index revisions to the MAC will be early September Work with MACs to complete their review by mid-november Public Use File (PUF) periodic releases of information that contains wage data for all hospital across the country January ** Note FFY 2020 dates have not been released. 14

16 Common Issues/Opportunities Salaries Capitalized salaries (be sure to exclude related hours) A-8 Adjustments Worksheet A-8 is not segregated between Salary and Other costs If Salary is included in an A-8 adjustment, consider an A-6 reclassification to move the amount from the salary column to the other column. Make an adjustment to associated hours and fringe benefits PTO Accruals or other salary costs recorded in Employee Benefits Department Consider an A-6 reclassification to move salary cost from this department to the appropriate lines for proper fringe benefit allocation calculation Advanced Practitioners Are they billing separately or not? 16 9
17 Common Issues/Opportunities Hours Use of canned reports vs Labor Distribution Report (LDR) Complete LDR will give the full picture and each pay code can be analyzed LDR with job titles and/or job codes will make identification of physicians and nonphysician advanced practitioners easier Review of All Pay Codes Count only those hours included in the definition of a Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) = 2,080 hours for exempt employees; 2,080 + overtime for hourly employees Reclassify hours associated with any A-6 salary reclassifications Remove hours associated with capitalized labor 17 10
18 Common Issues/Opportunities Employee Benefits Pension Calculation for Defined Benefit plans Allocation of Benefits: Salaries or Hours (FTE s) Only allocate benefits to those groups of employees that receive the benefit Interns & Residents likely do not participate in defined benefit plans or other retirement plans Union workers may receive different benefits than other employee groups FICA Cap for high-income earners in excluded areas Self-insurance health insurance costs 18 11
19 Common Issues/Opportunities Home Office / Other Related Party Allocation methodologies (direct vs. pooled) Physicians paid through the home office Contract labor paid through the home office Fringe benefits paid through the home office 19 12
