Indirect Medical Education (IME) and Supporting Regulations 42 CFR 412.105 (CMS-R-64)

The collection of information on interns and residents (IR) is needed to properly calculate Medicare program payments to hospitals that incur indirect costs for medical education. The agency's Intern and Resident Information System and similar contractor systems use the information for producing reports of duplicate full-time equivalent IR counts for IME. The contractors also use this information to ensure that hospitals are properly reimbursed for IME, and help eliminate duplicate reporting of IR counts which inflate payments.
