Summary
Medicare Area Wage Equity Act of 1989 - Amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to annually update hospital area wage index factors (used in determining the amount of Medicare payments to be made to hospitals) using the most current data available. Applies the hospital area wage index factor for the New York City metropolitan statistical area to hospitals in Orange or Dutchess County, New York. Makes such substitution effective until the first fiscal year after metropolitan statistical areas are redesignated by the Office of Management and Budget.
