| Text of Recommendation | We recommend that CMS seek legislation to repeal the hold-harmless provisions in the Act relating to the wage data of reclassifying hospitals, which would allow CMS to calculate each area wage index based on the wage data of hospitals that reclassify into the area and the wage data of hospitals geographically located in the area if they do not reclassify out. |
