    • Although lower rates are not necessarily problematic if they accurately reflect lower costs of producing services or a lower need for sendees, they are problematic if they are depressed for reasons unrelated to these factors (for example, difficulties in accessing the health care system). If Medicare expenditures in rural areas historically have been lower than would have been expected given input prices and the health status of the population, then AAPCC rates based on these spending patterns are artificially low as well.

    • This growth rate is to be projected by the HHS secretary by March of the year prior to the year for which rates are being determined. The BBA also specifies that these projected growth rates must be reduced by defined "offset percentages" through the year 2002 (for example, the rate projected for 1999 is to be reduced by 0.5 percentage points). There is also an adjustment mechanism that is to be used after the first year to correct retrospectively for under- or overprojections in prior growth rates.

    • note
    • In its March 1998 report to Congress, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission pointed out that those few counties still paid under the 2 percent minimum update in 2003 will eventually convert to the blended rate as long as the Medicare growth rate remains above 2 percent (p. 18). These conversions will leave only blended-rate and floor-rate counties. With both of these types of rates increasing annually by the same Medicare growth rate after 2003, there will be no further switching between the types of payment rates, and any remaining differences in payment levels between urban and rural counties will be perpetuated.
