Abstract: The Children’s Hospital GME Support Reauthorization Act of 2013states that the Secretary may establish a QBS, whereby the Secretary distributes bonus payments to hospitals participating in the CHGME Payment Program that meet standards specified by the Secretary. In order to qualify for the QBS payment in Fiscal Year (FY) 2019, CHGME award recipients must submit documentation as an attachment in the FY 2019 reconciliation application describing the hospital’s initiatives, resident curriculum, and direct resident involvement in 5 key areas. To demonstrate the fulfillment of such standards, it will be necessary for applicants to complete the QBS Response Initiative form and submit it as an attachment to the FY 2019 reconciliation application.
