	the wage index value used is the average of the contiguous	
	Counties.	
2	There are no rural areas in this state.	
3	Wage index values are obtained using the methodology	
	described in the final rule.	
4	Because there are no hospitals in this CBSA, the wage index	
	value is calculated by taking the average of all other urban	
	CBSAs in Georgia.
