Proposed Project: Reconciliation Tool for the Teaching Health Center
Graduate Medical Education Program--[NEW]
The Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME)
program, Section 340H of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, was
established by Section 5508 of Public Law 111-148. The program supports
training for primary care residents (including residents in family
medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine-pediatrics,
obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, general dentistry, pediatric
dentistry, and geriatrics) in community-based ambulatory patient care
settings. The statute provides that eligible teaching health centers
receive payments for both direct and indirect costs associated with
training residents in community-based ambulatory patient care centers.
Direct payments are designed to compensate eligible teaching health
centers for those expenses directly associated with resident training,
while indirect payments are intended to compensate for the additional
costs of training residents in such programs. Payments are made at the
beginning of the funding cycle; however, the statute provides for a
reconciliation process, through which overpayments may be recouped and
underpayments may be adjusted at the end of the fiscal year. This data
[[Page 30949]]
collection instrument will gather information relating to the numbers
of residents in THCGME training programs in order to reconcile payments
for both direct and indirect costs.
