  • Title: APCs: reimbursement implications.
    Author: Leary R, Farley DE.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 2000 Jan; 54(1):38-44. PubMed ID: 11067005.
    Abstract:
    A transition to a new Medicare outpatient prospective payment system (PPS) will begin in July 2000, affecting many of the outpatient services provided by hospitals that participate in the Medicare program. The outpatient PPS will rely on ambulatory payment classifications (APCs) to classify outpatient services. Hospitals should anticipate that discounts and other factors will affect APC payments and take into account the impact that the new system will have on their revenue.
