Fed Regist. 1993 Jul 1;58(125):35400-8.
This final rule establishes a CHAMPUS benefit for partial hospitalization and makes corrections and clarifications on other mental health issues resulting from implementation of recent legislative changes. The partial hospitalization benefit is being added at the request of Congress to improve the availability of mental health services under CHAMPUS. The intent is to provide a needed service at a lower cost than the full hospitalization rate, and allow more efficient use of resources for needed mental health care. Facilities must be certified and enter into a participation agreement with CHAMPUS and obtain the required preauthorization prior to admitting CHAMPUS patients. Applications for facility approval may be obtained from the Director, OCHAMPUS, or a designee.
本最终规则确立了针对部分住院治疗的CHAMPUS福利，并对近期立法变更实施所引发的其他心理健康问题进行修正和澄清。应国会要求增设部分住院治疗福利，以改善CHAMPUS项下心理健康服务的可及性。目的是以低于全额住院费率的成本提供所需服务，并使所需心理健康护理的资源得到更有效利用。机构必须获得认证，并与CHAMPUS签订参与协议，且在收治CHAMPUS患者之前获得所需的预先授权。机构批准申请可从CHAMPUS主任或其指定人员处获取。
