The Children’s Hospitals Graduate
Medical Education (CHGME) Payment Program was enacted by Public Law
106-129, and reauthorized by the CHGME Support Reauthorization Act
of 2013 (Pub. L. 113–98) to provide Federal support for graduate
medical education (GME) to freestanding children’s hospitals. The
legislation indicates that eligible children’s hospitals will
receive payments for both direct and indirect medical education.
The CHGME Payment Program application and full-time equivalent
(FTE) resident assessment forms received OMB clearance on June 30,
2014. The CHGME Support Reauthorization Act of 2013 included a
provision to allow certain newly qualified children’s hospitals to
apply for CHGME Payment Program funding. The CHGME Payment Program
application forms have been revised to accommodate the new statute.
In addition, a payment question included in the CHGME Payment
Program application forms has been removed, since the participating
children’s hospitals are now required to electronically communicate
their financial information to the Payment Management System
through the Electronic Handbook. The form changes are only
applicable to the HRSA 99-1 (also known as Exhibit O(2)) and the
HRSA 99-5. All other hospital and auditor forms are the same as
currently approved. The changes to the HRSA 99-1 and HRSA 99-5
forms require OMB approval.
