Reimbursement Rates
On an annual basis the Indian Health Service calculates and publishes calendar year reimbursement rates which are often referred to as the All-Inclusive Rates (AIR or the "OMB rate"). The AIR is published in the Federal Register annually, and is applicable to reimbursement methodologies primarily under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. However, the All-Inclusive Rates are utilized in reimbursement methodologies for services reimbursed under the VA-IHS Reimbursement Agreement and the Federal Medical Care Recovery Act (FMCRA).
