Dear Sir:
Since early au ust lQe5 when hr. G. E. Rose
.. . . .. J . . 2 2 .
established the steel Division rriority Control at the
Steel Jorks, ve have been receiving copies of your
purchase orders and requisitions for material.
These have been.pre;ared under the supervision
of your otorekeeper, nr. C. S. Williams, and I believe
that at this tire it would be in order to advise you
that nr. Uillians has been doing an exceptionally good
job in endeavoring to comply with all regulations per-
taining to the material which has been purchased. his
ability to interpret correctly the various regulations,
which have been issued, has nade our position in reviewing
your purchases merely a matter of checking.
I wish you would express to nr. Williams our
aytreciation of his good work and hope that he will con-
tinue his efforts in this most difficult problem.
Yours very truly,

shall not exceed the “reimburSnble cogt per pgtiant day" calculated by each

tion all expenditures by the hospital thrt are regarded as related to the

the State agency for each hospital shall cover all i;~paticnt hospital care
provided patients under these programs, including the use of delivery or
operating rooms, drugs and casts, laboratory, X—r2y, anesthesia, physical—
therapy and all other services rendered by individuals who receive any
remuneration (salaries, fees, commissions, Or maintenance) from the hospital
for such services. .
when a hospital has made no expenditures during the accounting year for
certain materials or services, such as appliances fcr crippled children,
blood purchased from donors, anesthesia, X—ray, special nursing, services Of
a physical therapist, etc., it should list such items in the space provided
. under item C 0f the st¤t@ment submitted to the State agency, so that the
State agency may make arrangements, when necessary, for purchasing such
materials 0r services directly from independent vendors.
The "reimbursable cost of in—pqtient service per patient day" entered in
item E S will bc, for most hospitals, 85 percent of the average per diem cost
as calculated for all patient days (exclusive 0f newb0rn—infant days) in the
hospital. However, hospitals with more than YO percent of their patient dvys
in rooms with two or more beds may request a higher rrts of payment than
85 percent, in accordance with the procedure described in items E and F 0f
the Statement 0f Total Expenses. Hospitals with YO percent 0r less 0f their
patient days (exclusive 0f n©wb0rn—imfnnt days) in rooms with two 0r more
beds may receive a maximum 0f 85 pcrccnt of the evervgc per diem cost as A
calculated.

It is recommended that for the fiscal year beginning July l, 19UU, that
agencies purchase 0ut-patient care at the "reimbursable cost per 0ut—puti¤nt
visit" as shown in item G 5. This rgccmmendstion is n0~ made fox the first
time because methods for purchase 0f 0ut~p2ti@nt care have not been com-
sidcrcd in previous memoranda 0n this subject. Experience with the method
recommended or other methods is needed to dctcrminc the most satisfrctory

cost per patient day and per out—patient visit may be pre—
pared by the hospital, certified by an officer of the hospital,
and sworn to before a notary public. A form of certification V
and affidavit suitable for this purpose is included in this
memorandum. _
U. Statements need not be required from hospitals operated
by agencies of the Federal Government since payments by State
agencies to such hospitals are at the uniform inclusive rete paid
by Federal agencies in purchasing care in such hospitals.
5. Statements of operating expenses for hospitals operetsd
by city, county, or State governments need not be certified by a
public accountant if signed by an officer or the superintendent
of the hospital and sworn to before a notary public.
6. In those States uber; hospital accounts are audited and
certified by eccountants ewplcyed by State agencies authorized by
State law or regulation to perform these functions, certification
of the hospital statements of operating expenses by the executive
officer of such State agency will be acceptable.
lf the statement received from any hospital appears to establish en ex-
cessive cost per patient dey as compared with costs per patient day for serv-
ices of comparable quality in other hospitals in the State, the State agency
should establish a maximum rete to be paid under these programs, e rate that
shell be reasonable in view of the average per diem costs in hospitals
throughout the State.
Copies of the statements of total expenses end calculation of reimburs-
able cost per patient dey from each hospital are to be submitted by the State
agency to the Children's Bureau as a part of the plans for services for
maternal and child—heslth (including emergency maternity and infant care)
end crippled children. when a statement is received by the State agency for
a new hospital accounting year, copies of this statement should bei`orwarded
to the Children's Bureau to replace the statements previously submitted.
4 It is the responsibility of each State agency to review request necessary
adjustment, and accept the hospital statements and calculations of reimbursable
costs per patient day and per out—patient visit.
when a hospital subnits a new or 2 revised statement of operating cx-
pense and calculation of per diem cost, and a new rate of payment is adopted
by the State eeency, the new rate shgll be effective as of the dgte it is
adopted_py_t§p_§;;te_pgency for all admissions to the hospital after such
date of adoption.
where maternal and child—health (including emergency maternity and infant-
care) and crippled children‘s services are administered by separate State
agencies, the cooperation of the two agencies in obtaining stntements of
operating expense from the hospitals used in both programs and in developing
policies within the State for the purchase of hospital care under these
programs will expedite the edministration of both programs.
