ACTION: Proposed rule; correction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This document corrects technical and typographical errors that appeared in the proposed rule published in the July 14, 2015 Federal Register entitled ``Medicare Program; Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Payment Model for Acute Care Hospitals Furnishing Lower Extremity Joint Replacement Services.'' DATES: The comment due date for the proposed rule published in the Federal Register on July 14, 2015 (80 FR 41198) remains September 8, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Claire Schreiber, [email protected], (410) 786-8939. Gabriel Scott, [email protected], (410) 786-3928. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In FR Doc. 2015-17190 of July 14, 2015 (80 FR 41198), there were a number of technical and typographical errors that are identified and corrected in the Correction of Errors section of this document. II. Summary of Errors On page 41210, in our discussion of the factors considered but not used in creating proposed strata, we inadvertently omitted a term and used an incorrect term. On pages 41212 and 41269, we made errors in referencing the name of the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CCJR) model. On pages 41223 and 41224, in our discussion of the proposed pricing adjustment for high payment episodes, we made errors in describing the distribution model presented in Figure 2. On page 41234, in our discussion of the proposed combination of CCJR episodes anchored by Medical Severity Diagnosis-Related Groups (MS-DRGs) 469 and 470, we made an error in the unpooled hospital- specific historical average payments calculation for MS-DRG 469 anchored target prices. On pages 41235 and 41236, in our discussion of the proposed approach to combine pricing features, we made an error in the placement and the language of a sentence that was part of the bulleted text. On page 41240, in the discussion of the criteria for applicable hospitals and performance scoring, we made errors in stating the percentage of eligible elective primary total hip arthroplasty/total knee arthoplasty (THA/TKA) patients for which hospitals must submit data and the timeframe for the submission of data. On pages 41241 and 41242, we made errors in stating a National Quality Forum (NQF) measure number. On page 41250, in the discussion of the accounting for CCJR reconciliation payments and repayments in other models and programs, we inadvertently omitted a word. On page 41251, in the discussion of the accounting for per beneficiary per month (PBPM) payments in the episode definition, we made an error in stating the total number of models with PBPMs. On pages 41268, 41270, and 41278, we made typographical errors in footnotes 42, 43, and 55, respectively. These errors include omitting the title of the article that was referenced, omitting the text of the footnote, and inadvertently adding a reference to a footnote. On page 41283, in the discussion of ``Case Mix Adjustment,'' we inadvertently omitted a term. On pages 41242, 41281, and 41284, we made technical and typographical errors in using the acronyms ``CCJR-,'' ``HCAHPS,'' and ``THA''. On page 41285, in our discussion of pre-operative assessments, we made errors in our designation of several bulleted paragraphs. On pages 41287 and 41288, Table 16, we made errors in the table formatting and omitted language that would identify the entries pertaining to the duration of the performance period. III.
