The Childrenâs Hospitals Graduate Medical Education (CHGME) Payment Program was enacted by Public Law 106-129, and reauthorized by the CHGME Support Reauthorization Act of 2013 (Pub. L. 113â98) to provide Federal support for graduate medical education (GME) to freestanding childrenâs hospitals. The legislation indicates that eligible childrenâs hospitals will receive payments for both direct and indirect medical education. The CHGME Payment Program application and full-time equivalent (FTE) resident assessment forms received OMB clearance on June 30, 2014.
The CHGME Support Reauthorization Act of 2013 included a provision to allow certain newly qualified childrenâs hospitals to apply for CHGME Payment Program funding. The CHGME Payment Program application forms have been revised to accommodate the new statute. In addition, a payment question included in the CHGME Payment Program application forms has been removed, since the participating childrenâs hospitals are now required to electronically communicate their financial information to the Payment Management System through the Electronic Handbook.
The form changes are only applicable to the HRSA 99-1 (also known as Exhibit O(2)) and the HRSA 99-5. All other hospital and auditor forms are the same as currently approved. The changes to the HRSA 99-1 and HRSA 99-5 forms require OMB approval.
