FY25 Proposed Rule Deleted Occ Mix Data	"This tab contains the FY 25 Proposed Rule occupational mix survey data for hospitals “deleted” from the FY25 Proposed Rule S-3 Data PUF tab. As of January 31, 2024, the hospitals' occupational mix data are ""deleted"" from the FY 2025 wage index for 2 possible reasons: 1) the hospital's Worksheet S-3 wage data is ""deleted"" from the FY 25 Proposed Rule S-3 Data PUF tab, and therefore, its occupational mix data cannot be included in the wage index without accompanying S-3 wage data, or 2) the hospital's Worksheet S-3 wage data is included in the FY 2025 wage index on the FY25 Proposed Rule S-3 Data PUF tab, but its occupational mix data is aberrant.
