OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
Cost of Hospital and Medical Care and Treatment Furnished by the
United States; Certain Rates Regarding Recovery From Tortiously Liable
Third Persons
By virtue of the authority vested in the President by Section 2(a)
of P.L. 87-693 (76 Stat. 593; 42 U.S.C. 2652), and delegated to the
Director of the Office of Management and Budget by Executive Order No.
11541 of July 1, 1970 (35 FR 10737), the revised set of Department of
Defense rates outlined below are hereby established. These rates are
for use in connection with the recovery, from tortiously liable third
persons, of the cost of hospital and medical care treatment furnished
by the United States (Part 43, Chapter I, Title 28, Code of Federal
Regulations) through three separate Federal agencies. The rates have
been established in accordance with the requirements of OMB Circular A-
25, requiring reimbursement of the full cost of all services provided.
The rates are established as follows:
Department of Defense. Historic costs including purchases of
supplies and equipment, base pay, allowances, permanent change of
station costs, retirement pay and health benefits accrual costs,
medical specialty pays and medical training are determined. These costs
are then adjusted to reflect civilian and military pay raises and
inflation to arrive at the estimated rates. An asset charge is included
to reflect depreciation.
For the period beginning April 1, 1994, the rates herein superseded
those established by the Director of the Office of Management and
Budget on October 1, 1992 (57 CFR 48642).
Leon E. Panetta,
Director, Office of Management and Budget.

Notes on Reimbursable Rates
\1\Daily percentages are applied to both inpatient and outpatient services provided when billing third party
payers (such as insurance companies). Pursuant to the provisions of 10 U.S.C. 1095, the inpatient daily
percentages are 55 percent hospital, 5 percent physician, 40 percent ancillary. The outpatient daily
percentages are 57 percent hospital, 10 percent physicians and 33 percent ancillary.
\2\DOD civilian employees located in overseas areas shall be rendered a bill when services are performed.
Payment is due 60 days from the date of the bill.
\3\Charges for PRIMUS/NAVCARE and high cost medications/services requested by external providers (Physicians,
Dentists, etc.) are only relevant to the Third Party Collection Program. Third party payers (such as insurance
companies) shall be billed for high cost services in those instances in which non-active duty eligible
beneficiaries have medical insurance and are seen by providers external to a Military Medical Treatment
Facility (MTF) obtain the prescribed service or medication from an MTF. Eligible beneficiaries are not
personally liable for this cost and shall not be billed by the MTF. The standard cost of high cost medications
includes the cost of the drugs and dispensing services.
\4\All quantities shown are tablets unless otherwise stated. The third party charge is only for the strengths
and the dosage cited. Charges will vary if the strengths and dosage are changed. The method of computing
standard costs to be charged for high cost medications is actual cost to the pharmacy, plus a 30 percent
dispensing fee. Only medications listed in this schedule may be billed. If a different dose is issued for a
medication that is listed, only bill if the cost is $100 or more.
\5\The attending physician is to complete the common procedure terminology code to indicate the appropriate
procedure followed during domestic surgery.
\6\Cosmetic surgery rates will be charged dependents of active duty members, retirees, and their dependents and
survivors. The patient shall be charged the rate as specified in the FY 1994 reimbursable rates for an episode
of care. The charges for elective cosmetic surgery are at the full reimbursement rate (designated as the other
rate) in section 1-2, page 1-7 entitled Inpatient and Outpatient Rates). The patient will be responsible for
both the cost of the implant(s) and prescribed rates.
Note: The implants and procedures used for the augmentation mammaplasty are in compliance with Federal Drug
Administration guidelines.
\7\Each regional lipectomy will carry a separate charge. Regions include head and neck, abdomen, flanks, and
hips.
\8\These procedures are inclusive in the minor skin lesions. However, CHAMPUS separates them as noted here. All
charges are for the entire treatment regardless of the number of visits required.
