Payment Suspension for Unfiled Cost Reports
AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), HHS.
ACTION: Final rule with comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule with comment period revises the Medicare
hospital outpatient prospective payment system to implement applicable
statutory requirements and changes arising from our continuing
experience with this system. In addition, it describes changes to the
amounts and factors used to determine the payment rates for Medicare
hospital outpatient services paid under the prospective payment system.
These changes are applicable to services furnished on or after January
1, 2003. This rule also allows the Secretary to suspend Medicare
payments ``in whole or in part'' if a provider fails to file a timely
and acceptable cost report.
In addition, this rule responds to public comments received on the
November 2, 2001 interim final rule with comment period (66 FR 55850)
that set forth the criteria the Secretary will use to establish new
categories of medical devices eligible for transitional pass-through
payment under the Medicare's hospital outpatient prospective payment
system. Finally, this rule responds to public comments received on the
August 9, 2002 proposed rule for revisions to the hospital outpatient
prospective payment system and payment rates (67 FR 52092). CMS finds
good cause to waive proposed rulemaking for the assignment of new codes
to Ambulatory Payment Classifications and for the payment of influenza
and pneuomococcal vaccines under reasonable cost; justification for the
waiver will follow in a subsequent Federal Register notice.
DATES: Effective date: This final rule is effective January 1, 2003.
Comment date: We will consider comments on the ambulatory payment
classification assignments of Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System
codes identified in Addendum B with condition code NI, and on Sec.
419.23(d)(3), if we receive them at the appropriate address, as
provided below, no later than 5 pm on December 31, 2002.

I. Background
A. Authority for the Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS)
When the Medicare statute was originally enacted, Medicare payment
for hospital outpatient services was based on hospital-specific costs.
In an effort to ensure that Medicare and its beneficiaries pay
appropriately for services and to encourage more efficient delivery of
care, the Congress mandated replacement of the cost-based payment
methodology with a prospective payment system (PPS). The Balanced
Budget Act of 1997 (BBA) (Pub. L. 105-33), enacted on August 5, 1997,
added section 1833(t) to the Social Security Act (the Act) authorizing
implementation of a PPS for hospital outpatient services. The Balanced
Budget Refinement Act of 1999 (BBRA) (Pub. L. 106-113), enacted on
November 29, 1999, made major changes that affected the hospital
outpatient PPS (OPPS). The Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits
Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 (BIPA) (Pub. L. 106-554),
enacted on December 21, 2000, made further changes in the OPPS. The
OPPS was first implemented for services furnished on or after August 1,
2000.
B. Summary of Rulemaking for the Outpatient Prospective Payment System
[sbull] On September 8, 1998, we published a proposed rule (63 FR
47552) to establish in regulations a PPS for hospital outpatient
services, to eliminate the formula-driven overpayment for certain
hospital outpatient services, and to extend reductions in payment for
costs of hospital outpatient services. On June 30, 1999, we published a
correction notice (64 FR 35258) to correct a number of technical and
typographic errors in the September 1998 proposed rule including the
proposed amounts and factors used to determine the payment rates.
[sbull] On April 7, 2000, we published a final rule with comment
period (65 FR 18434) that addressed the provisions of the PPS for
hospital outpatient services scheduled to be effective for services
furnished on or after July 1, 2000. Under this system, Medicare payment
for hospital outpatient services included in the PPS is made at a
predetermined, specific rate. These outpatient services are classified
according to a list of ambulatory payment classifications (APCs). The
April 7, 2000 final rule with comment period also established
requirements for provider departments and provider-based entities and
prohibited Medicare payment for nonphysician services furnished to a
hospital outpatient by a provider or supplier other than a hospital
unless the services are furnished under arrangement. In addition, this
rule extended reductions in payment for costs of hospital outpatient
services as required by the BBA and amended by the BBRA. Medicare
regulations governing the hospital OPPS are set forth at 42 CFR part
419.
[[Page 66720]]
[sbull] On June 30, 2000, we published a notice (65 FR 40535)
announcing a delay in implementation of the OPPS from July 1, 2000 to
August 1, 2000. We implemented the OPPS on August 1, 2000.
[sbull] On August 3, 2000, we published an interim final rule with
comment period (65 FR 47670) that modified criteria that we use to
determine which medical devices are eligible for transitional pass-
through payments. The August 3, 2000 rule also corrected and clarified
certain provider-based provisions included in the April 7, 2000 rule.
[sbull] On November 13, 2000, we published an interim final rule
with comment period (65 FR 67798). This rule provided for the annual
update to the amounts and factors for OPPS payment rates effective for
services furnished on or after January 1, 2001. We implemented the 2001
OPPS on January 1, 2001. We also responded to public comments on those
portions of the April 7, 2000 final rule that implemented related
provisions of the BBRA and public comments on the August 3, 2000 rule.
[sbull] On August 24, 2001, we published a proposed rule (66 FR
44672) that would revise the OPPS to implement applicable statutory
requirements, including relevant provisions of the Medicare, Medicaid,
and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2002 (BIPA) and
changes arising from our continuing experience with this system. It
also described proposed changes to the amounts and factors used to
determine the payment rates for Medicare hospital outpatient services
paid under the PPS. The changes applied to services furnished on or
after January 1, 2002.
[sbull] On November 2, 2001, we published a final rule (66 FR
55857) that announced the Medicare OPPS conversion factor for calendar
year 2002. In addition, it described the Secretary's estimate of the
total amount of the transitional pass-through payments for CY 2002 and
the implementation of a uniform reduction in each of the pass-through
payments for that year.
[sbull] On November 2, 2001, we also published an interim final
rule with comment period (66 FR 55850) that set forth the criteria the
Secretary will use to establish new categories of medical devices
eligible for transitional pass-through payments under Medicare's OPPS.
[sbull] On November 30, 2001, we published a final rule (66 FR
59856) that revised the Medicare OPPS to implement applicable statutory
requirements, including relevant provisions of BIPA, and changes
resulting from continuing experience with this system. It addition, it
described the CY 2002 payment rates for Medicare hospital outpatient
services paid under the PPS. This final rule also announced a uniform
reduction of 68.9 percent to be applied to each of the transitional
pass-through payments for certain categories of medical devices and
drugs and biologicals.
[sbull] On December 31, 2001, we published a final rule (66 FR
67494) that delayed, until no later than April 1, 2002, the effective
date of CY 2002 payment rates and the uniform reduction of transitional
pass-through payments that were announced in the November 30, 2001
final rule. In addition, this final rule indefinitely delayed certain
related regulatory provisions.
[sbull] On March 1, 2002, we published a final rule (67 FR 9556)
that corrected technical errors that affected the amounts and factors
used to determine the payment rates for services paid under the
Medicare OPPS and corrected the uniform reduction to be applied to
transitional pass-through payments for CY 2002 as published in the
November 30, 2001 final rule. These corrections and the regulatory
provisions that had been delayed became effective on April 1, 2002.
[sbull] On August 9, 2002, we published a proposed rule (67 FR
52092) that would revise the OPPS to implement applicable statutory
requirements and changes arising from our continuing experience with
this system. The changes would be applicable to services furnished on
or afterJanuary 1, 2003. This rule also proposed to allow the Secretary
to suspend Medicare payments ``in whole or in part'' if a provider
fails to file a timely and acceptable cost report.
C. Authority for Payment Suspensions for Unfiled Cost Reports
Authority for the provision regarding payment suspensions for
unfiled cost reports is contained within the authority for subpart C of
42 CFR part 405, that is, sections 1102, 1815, 1833, 1842, 1866, 1870,
1871, 1879, and 1892 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1302, 1395g,
1395l, 1395u, 1395cc, 1395gg, 1395hh, 1395pp, and 1395ccc) and 31
U.S.C. 3711.
D. Summary of Changes in the August 9, 2002 Proposed Rule
1. Changes Relating to the OPPS
On August 9, 2002, we published a proposed rule (67 FR 52092) that
set forth proposed changes to the Medicare hospital OPPS and CY 2003
payment rates including changes used to determine these payment rates.
The following is a summary of the major changes that we proposed and
the issues we addressed in the August 9, 2002 proposed rule.
a. Changes Required By Statute
We proposed the following changes to implement statutory
requirements:
[sbull] Add APCs, delete APCs, and modify the composition of some
existing APCs.
[sbull] Recalibrate the relative payment weights of the APCs.
[sbull] Update the conversion factor and the wage index.
[sbull] Revise the APC payment amounts to reflect the APC
reclassifications, the recalibration of payment weights, and the other
required updates and adjustments.
[sbull] Cease transitional pass-through payments for drugs and
biologicals (including blood and blood products) and devices (including
brachytherapy), that will, on January 1, 2003, have been paid under
transitional pass-through methodology for at least 2 years.
b. Additional Changes to OPPS
We proposed the following additional changes to the OPPS and
Payment Suspension Provisions:
[sbull] Creation of new evaluation and management service codes for
outpatient clinic and emergency department encounters for
implementation no earlier than January 1, 2004.
[sbull] Changes to the list of services that we do not pay in
outpatient departments because we define them as inpatient only
procedures.
[sbull] Changes to our policy of nonpayment for procedures on the
inpatient only list in special cases involving death or transfer before
inpatient admission.
[sbull] Changes to our policy governing observation in cases of
direct admission to observation.
[sbull] Changes to status indicators for Healthcare Common
Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes.
[sbull] Changes to our policies governing dialysis for end-stage
renal disease (ESRD) patients and regarding partial hospitalization.
C. Changes to the Regulations Text
A. We proposed to make the following changes to our regulations:
Amend Sec. 419.66(c)(1) to specify that we must establish a new
category for a medical device if it is not described by any category
previously in effect as well as an existing category.
2. Changes Relating to Payment Suspension for Unfiled Cost Reports
[[Page 66721]]
We proposed to revise Sec. 405.371(c) to specify that we may
suspend Medicare payments ``in whole or in part'' if a provider has
failed to timely file an acceptable cost report. This provision is
consistent with the existing provisions in Sec. 405.371(a) governing
the suspension of Medicare payments ``in whole or in part'' under
certain conditions. We believe the Medicare program would benefit
because immediate complete payment suspension can be disruptive to
providers and may negatively affect the care of Medicare patients.
E. Summary of the November 2, 2001 Interim Final Rule with Comment
Period
On November 2, 2001, we published an interim final rule with
comment period in the Federal Register (66 FR 55850) that set forth the
criteria for establishing new categories of medical devices eligible
for transitional pass-through payments under Medicare's hospital OPPS
as required by section 1833(t)(6)(B)(ii) of the Act, as amended by
BIPA.
In the April 7, 2000 final rule with comment period (65 FR 18480),
we defined new or innovative devices using eight criteria, three of
which were revised in our August 3, 2000 interim final rule with
comment period (65 FR 47673-74). These criteria remained applicable
when defining a new category for devices, (that is, devices to be
included in a category must meet all previously established applicable
criteria for a device eligible for transitional pass-through payments)
but we revised the definition of an eligible device to conform the
requirements of amended section 1833(t)(6)(B)(ii) of the Act.
We also clarified our criterion that states that a device must be
approved or cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
In establishing the criteria for establishing additional
categories, the Act mandates that new categories be established for
devices that were not being paid for as an outpatient hospital service
as of December 31, 1996 and for which no categories in effect (or
previously in effect) are appropriate, in such a way that no device is
described by more than one category and the average cost of devices to
be included in the category is not insignificant in relation to the APC
payment amount for the associated service. Based on these requirements,
we used the following criteria to establish a category of devices:
[sbull] Substantial clinical improvement. The category describes
devices that demonstrate a substantial improvement in medical benefits
for Medicare beneficiaries compared to the benefits obtained by devices
in previously established categories or other available treatments, as
described in regulations at new Sec. 419.66(c)(1).
[sbull] Cost. We determine that the estimated cost to hospitals of
the devices in a new category (including any candidate devices and the
other devices that we believe will be included in the category) is
``not insignificant'' relative to the payment rate for the applicable
procedures.
We received five timely items of correspondence on the November 2,
2001 interim final rule with comment period. Summaries of the public
comments and our responses to those comments are set forth below under
the appropriate section heading of this final rule with comment period.
F. Public Comments and Responses to the August 9, 2002 Proposed Rule
We received approximately 1,000 timely items of correspondence
containing multiple comments on the August 9, 2002 proposed rule. Of
that total, we received eight comments relating to the payment
suspension provision described in section I.D.2. Summaries of the
public comments received on other provisions and our responses to those
comments are provided below in section I.F.2 of this preamble.
1. OPPS
We received comments from various sources including but not limited
to health care facilities, physicians, drug and device manufacturers,
and beneficiaries. Hospital associations and the Medicare Payment
Advisory Commission (MedPAC) generally supported our proposed approach
to revising the relative weights and incorporating the drugs and
devices into payment for APCs. Pharmaceutial and medical device
manufacturers and some individual hospitals that furnish particular
devices or drugs were concerned with the proposed reductions in payment
for medical devices and drugs. We received many thoughtful comments
from a wide range of commenters with regard to methodological issues in
OPPS. In addition, several comments provided data to support their
assertions. The following are the major OPPS related issues addressed
by the commenters:
[sbull] Expiration of pass-through payment for most devices and
drugs/biologicals.
[sbull] Extent of reduction in payments for devices compared to
payments in 2002.
[sbull] Potential impact on access to care of proposed payments.
[sbull] The proposal to package drugs with a per line cost less
than $150 and to pay separately for others.
[sbull] Assignment and reassignment of codes to APCs (including
assignments to procedural APCs from new tech APCs).
[sbull] Quality, quantity and content of claims data used to set
payment weights.
[sbull] Continuation of a list of procedures that are not paid
under OPPS because we believe that they should be performed as
inpatient services.
[sbull] Policy on payment for outpatient observation care.
[sbull] Creation of evaluation and management codes for OPPS use.
Summaries of the public comments received and our responses to
those comments are set forth below under the appropriate headings of
this final rule with comment period.
2. Payment Suspension for Unfiled Cost Reports
Comments and Responses
Comment: All of the commenters stated that the rule provides for
increased flexibility and a reduction in the financial impact of
payment suspensions on providers. They indicated the increased
flexibility would allow providers to receive partial payments from
Medicare, which would lessen the financial impact of payment
suspensions.
Response: We appreciate the hospital associations supporting this
change.
Comment: One commenter suggested that payment suspension be limited
to those payments directly determined by the cost report.
Response: We believe that immediate suspension of all payments when
a cost report is not filed timely may not always be the appropriate
response. However, if we require a provider to file a cost report, it
is important for the cost report to be filed in a timely manner
regardless of the amount of payment that is determined based on the
cost report. We need flexibility in determining the amount of a
provider's payments to suspend if its cost report is not filed timely.
This could include the potential suspension of payments that are not
determined by the cost report. Thus, we will retain Sec. 405.371 of
the regulation as set forth in the proposed rule.
II. Changes to the Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) Groups and
Relative Weights
Under the OPPS, we pay for hospital outpatient services on a rate-
per-service basis that varies according to the APC group to which the
service is assigned. Each APC weight represents the median
[[Page 66722]]
hospital cost of the services included in that APC relative to the
median hospital cost of the services included in APC 601, Mid-Level
Clinic Visits. The APC weights are scaled to APC 601 because a mid-
level clinic visit is one of the most frequently performed services in
the outpatient setting.
Section 1833(t)(9)(A) of the Act requires the Secretary to review
the components of the OPPS not less often than annually and to revise
the groups and related payment adjustment factors to take into account
changes in medical practice, changes in technology, and the addition of
new services, new cost data, and other relevant information. Section
1833(t)(9)(A) of the Act requires the Secretary, beginning in 2001, to
consult with an outside panel of experts when annually reviewing and
updating the APC groups and the relative payment weights.
Finally, section 1833(t)(2) of the Act provides that, subject to
certain exceptions, the items and services within an APC group cannot
be considered comparable with respect to the use of resources if the
highest median or mean cost item or service in the group is more than 2
times greater than the lowest median cost item or service within the
same group (referred to as the ``2 times rule'').
We use the median cost of the item or service in implementing this
provision. The statute authorizes the Secretary to make exceptions to
the 2 times rule ``in unusual cases, such as low volume items and
services.''
For purposes of the proposed rule and for this final rule with
comment period, we analyzed the APC groups within this statutory
framework.
A. Recommendations of the Advisory Panel on APC Groups
1. Establishment of the Advisory Panel
Section 1833(t)(9)(A) of the Act, requires that we consult with an
outside panel of experts when annually reviewing and updating the APC
groups and the relative weights. The Act specifies that the panel will
act in an advisory capacity. The expert panel, which is to be composed
of representatives of providers, is to review and advise us about the
clinical integrity of the APC groups and their weights. The panel is
not restricted to using our data and may use data collected or
developed by organizations outside the Department in conducting its
review.
On November 21, 2000, the Secretary signed the charter establishing
an ``Advisory Panel on APC Groups'' (the Panel). The Panel is technical
in nature and is governed by the provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA) as amended (Pub. L. 92-463). To establish the
Panel, we solicited members in a notice published in the Federal
Register on December 5, 2000 (65 FR 75943). We received applications
from more than 115 individuals nominating either themselves or a
colleague. After carefully reviewing the applications, we chose 15
highly qualified individuals to serve on the Panel. The first APC Panel
meeting was held on February 27, February 28, and March 1, 2001, to
discuss the 2001 APCs in anticipation of the 2002 OPPS.
We published a notice in the Federal Register on December 14, 2001,
to announce the location and time of the second Panel meeting, a list
of agenda items, and that the meeting was open to the public. We also
provided additional information through a press release and on our Web
site. We convened the second meeting of the Panel on January 22 through
January 24, 2002.
2. General Issues Considered by the Advisory Panel
In the proposed rule, we summarized the Panel's discussion of a
recommendation by the Panel's Research Subcommittee concerning the
format of written submissions and oral presentations to the Panel and
of several general OPPS payment issues.
Content for Future Presentations to the Panel
During the 2001 meeting, the Panel members felt that requiring
consistency for all presentations with regard to format, data
submission, and general information would assist them in analyzing the
submissions and presentations and making recommendations. Therefore,
upon the Panel's recommendation, the Research Subcommittee was
established during the 2001 meeting.
The Panel began its 2002 meeting by considering the Research
Subcommittee's recommendation to the Panel on requirements for written
submissions and oral presentations. The Research Subcommittee
recommended that all future oral presentations and written submissions
contain the following:
[sbull] Name, address, and telephone number of the proposed
presenter.
[sbull] Financial relationship(s), if any, with any company whose
products, services, or procedures are under consideration.
[sbull] CPT codes involved.
[sbull] APC(s) affected.
[sbull] Description of the issue.
[sbull] Clinical description of the service under discussion, with
comparison to other services within the APC.
[sbull] Description of the resource inputs associated with the
service under discussion, with a comparison to resource inputs for
other services within the APC.
[sbull] Recommendations and rationale for change.
[sbull] Expected outcome of change and potential consequences of no
change.
The Panel adopted the Subcommittee s recommendation. Presentations
for the 2003 meeting must contain, at a minimum, this information.
Inpatient Only List
At its February 2001 meeting, the Panel discussed the existence of
the inpatient list. The Panel favored its elimination. At the January
2002 meeting, Panel members noted that hospitals receive no payment for
a service performed in an outpatient department that appears on the
inpatient list, even though the physician performing that service will
receive payment for his or her services. The Panel believes the
physician should determine what procedure to perform and that both the
hospital and the physician should receive payment for the procedure. We
continue to disagree with the position taken by the Panel regarding the
inpatient list for reasons that we discuss in detail in the April 7,
2000 final rule (65 FR 18456).
Prior to the 2002 Panel meeting, we received requests from hospital
and surgical associations and societies to remove certain procedures
from the inpatient list. We reviewed those requests and presented to
the Panel the requests for which we were unable to make a determination
based on the information submitted with the request.
The Panel considered removing the following procedures from the
inpatient list:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
CPT Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------
21390..................................... Treat eye socket fracture
27216..................................... Treat pelvic ring fracture
27235..................................... Treat thigh fracture
[[Page 66723]]
32201..................................... Drain, precut, lung lesion
33967..................................... Insert a precut device
47490..................................... Incision of gallbladder
62351..................................... Implant spinal canal cath
64820..................................... Remove sympathetic nerves
92986..................................... Revision of aortic valve
92987..................................... Revision of mitral valve
92990..................................... Revision of pulmonary valve
92997..................................... Pul art balloon repr, precut
92998..................................... Pul art balloon repr, precut
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the Panel recommended, we solicited comments and additional
information from hospitals and medical specialty societies that have an
interest in these procedures. At their 2003 meeting, the Panel also
recommended that we present to them any such comments that we receive
to assist in their evaluation of whether to recommend removing the
codes from the inpatient list.
The Panel did recommend that we remove from the inpatient list CPT
code 47001, Biopsy of liver, needle; when done for indicated purpose at
time of other major procedure. We agreed with the Panel's
recommendation and we proposed to remove 47001 from the inpatient list.
We further proposed to assign it status indicator ``N'' so that costs
associated withCPT code 47001 would be packaged into the APC payment
for the primary procedure performed during the same operative session.
In section II.B.5 of the proposed rule, we discussed additional
procedures, which were not considered by the Panel, that we proposed to
remove from the inpatient list. We discussed in detail our reasons for
proposing these additional changes, and we proposed two new criteria
that we would adopt in the future when evaluating whether to make a
procedure on the inpatient list payable under the OPPS. Table 6 in
section II.B.5 of the proposed rule lists all the procedures we
proposed to remove from the inpatient list, including those discussed
by the Panel. We considered the removal of CPT code 33967, Insertion of
intra-aortic balloon assist device, percutaneous from the inpatient
list, but did not include it in Table 6. The Panel considered this code
for removal from the inpatient list and had concerns about whether
performing this procedure in an outpatient setting is appropriate.
Further, we were not able to confirm that this procedure is being
performed on Medicare beneficiaries in an outpatient setting. We
solicited comments, including clinical data and specific case reports,
which would support payment for CPT 33967 under the OPPS.
Our discussion of the comments we received on this issue, our
response and the statement of final action regarding what services to
remove from the inpatient list is contained in section II.B.5.
Multiple Bills
During its February 2001 meeting, the Panel received oral testimony
identifying CMS exclusive use of single procedure claims to set
relative weights for APCs as a potential problem in setting appropriate
payment rates for APCs. Therefore, the panel asked its Research
Subcommittee to work with CMS staff, using the Endoscopic Retrograde
Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) code family as a case study, to explore
the use of multiple procedure claims data for setting relative weights.
The Subcommittee made the following recommendations to the Panel,
which the Panel approved:
[sbull] We should continue to explore the use of multiple procedure
claims data for setting payment rates but should continue to use only
single procedure claims data to determine relative payment weights for
CY 2003.
[sbull] We should work with the APC Panel to explore the use of
multiple claims data drawn from OPPS claims for services such as
radiation oncology in time for the next APC Panel meeting.
[sbull] We should educate hospitals on appropriate coding and
billing practices to ensure that claims with multiple procedures are
properly coded and that costs are properly allocated to each procedure.
One presenter to the panel suggested a method to increase the
number of claims that could be considered as single claims. Currently,
we consider any claim submitted with two or more primary codes (that
is, a code assigned to an APC for separate payment) to be a multiple
procedure claim. When these claims contain line items for revenue
centers without an accompanying Healthcare Common Procedure Coding
System (HCPCS) code there is no way to determine the appropriate
primary code with which to package the revenue center. The presenter
suggested that we consider all claims where every line contains a
separately payable HCPCS code as a single procedure claim, reasoning
that on such claims we do not have to determine how and where to
``package'' line items not identified by a separately payable HCPCS
code. Where every line item contains a separately payable HCPCS code,
every cost can easily be allocated to a separately payable HCPCS code
on the line item and all costs for each HCPCS code can then be
accurately and completely determined.
We agreed with that suggestion. In section II.B.4 of the proposed
rule, we described how we determined the number of single claims used
to set the APC relative weights proposed for 2003 using this
methodology. We requested comments on our methodology.
Discussion of the comments we received on this issue, our
responses, and the statement of final action are contained in section
III.A.
Packaging
We sought the Panel's guidance on whether we should package the
costs of HCPCS codes for radiologic guidance and radiologic supervision
and interpretation services whose descriptors require that they only be
performed in conjunction with a surgical procedure.
In the proposed rule, we discussed why we package the costs of
certain procedures. We specified for example, that ``add-on''
procedures and radiologic guidance procedures should never be billed on
a claim without the code for an associated procedure. A facility should
not submit a claim for ultrasound guidance for a biopsy unless the
claim also includes the biopsy procedure, because the guidance is
necessary only when a biopsy is performed. A claim for a packaged
guidance procedure (or a supervision and interpretation procedure whose
descriptor requires it be performed in association with a surgical
procedure)
[[Page 66724]]
would be returned to the provider for correction and resubmission.
Also, we explained that we use packaging because billing
conventions allow hospitals to report costs for certain services using
only revenue center codes (that is, hospitals are not required to
specify HCPCS codes for certain services). Packaging allows these costs
to be captured in the data used to calculate median costs for services
with an APC.
After hearing the requests of several presenters, (details
discussed at 66 FR 52098 of the proposed rule) the Panel concluded
that, even though we could be setting relative weights based on error
claims, we should not package additional radiologic guidance and
supervision and interpretation procedures and should continue to
explore methodologies that would allow these procedures to be
recognized for separate payment. The Panel also recommended that
radiology guidance codes that were in APC 268 for CY 2001 but that were
designated with status indicator ``N'' as packaged services in 2002, be
restored as separately payable services for CY 2003. The Panel
requested that this topic be placed on the agenda for the next Panel
meeting.
Our discussion of the comments we received on this issue, our
responses and a statement of final action is contained in section
III.B.
Add-On Codes
As discussed in the proposed rule (66 FR 52098), we presented for
the Panel's consideration several options for payment of add-on codes,
including assignment of status indicator ``N'' to package them into the
payment for the base procedure. After thorough review, the Panel
concluded that we should continue to pay for add-on codes separately,
setting relative weights with the use of single procedure claims in
spite of the fact that these were error claims. The Panel asked us to
continue exploring ways to most appropriately pay for these services.
They requested that this item also be placed on the agenda for the next
Panel meeting.
We proposed to accept the recommendations of the APC Panel both for
packaging radiology guidance and supervision and interpretation codes
and for payment of add-on codes. We proposed to pay separately in 2003
for radiology guidance codes that were paid in APC 268 in CY 2001 but
that were packaged in 2002.
3. Recommendations of the Advisory Panel and Our Responses
In the proposed rule, we summarized the issues considered by the
Panel, the Panel's APC recommendations and our subsequent action with
regard to the Panel's recommendations. The most recent data available
for the Panel to review in considering specific APC groupings were the
1999-2000 pre-OPPS claims data that were the basis of the CY 2002
relative payment weights. In the proposed rule, we provided a detailed
summary of the Panel discussion and recommendations (67 FR 52098-
52102). See the proposed rule for more details regarding these
discussions. The APC titles are shown in this discussion of the APC
Panel recommendations as they existed when the APC Panel met in January
2002. In a few cases the APC titles were changed for the proposed 2003
OPPS and therefore some APCs do not have the same title in Addendum A
as they have in this section.
As discussed below, the Panel sometimes declined to recommend a
change in an APC even though the APC violated the 2 times rule. In
section II.B.1 of this preamble, we discuss our proposals regarding the
2 times rule based on the CY 2001 data we are using to recalibrate the
2003 APC relative weights. Section II.B.1 also details the criteria we
use in deciding to make an exception to the 2 times rule. We asked the
Panel to review many of the exceptions we implemented in 2001 and 2002.
We refer to the exceptions as ``violations of the 2 times'' rule in the
following discussion.
APC 215: Level I Nerve and Muscle Tests
APC 216: Level III Nerve and Muscle Tests
APC 218: Level II Nerve and Muscle Tests
We presented this agenda item because APC 215 appeared to violate
the 2 times rule. In order to remedy this violation, we asked the Panel
to consider the following changes:
[sbull] Move CPT codes 95858, 95921, and 95922 from APC 215 to APC
218.
[sbull] Move CPT code 95930 from APC 216 to APC 218.
[sbull] Move CPT code 92275 from APC 216 to APC 231.
[sbull] Move CPT code 95920 from APC 218 to APC 216.
The Panel recommended that the changes we asked them to consider be
made, that is, to move CPT codes 95921 and 95922 to APC 218. However,
if the calendar year 2001 data support a move of 95921 to APC 216, the
Panel recommended that we consider that move.
APC 600: Low Level Clinic Visits
APC 601: Mid Level Clinic Visits
APC 602: High Level Clinic Visits
APC 610: Low Level Emergency Visits
APC 611: Mid Level Emergency Visits
APC 612: High Level Emergency Visits
We discussed the Panel's recommendations related to facility coding
for clinic and emergency department visits are discussed below, in
(section X.A of this rule).
APC 296: Level I Therapeutic Radiologic Procedures
APC 297: Level II Therapeutic Radiologic Procedures
APC 263: Level I Miscellaneous Radiology Procedures
APC 264: Level II Miscellaneous Radiology Procedures
APCs 296, 263, and 264 appear to violate the 2 times rule. We asked
the Panel to consider three options for reconfiguring these APCs so
that they would conform with the 2 times rule.
Option 1: Create a new APC, Level III Therapeutic Radiology
Procedures, by moving CPT code 75984 from APC 296 and 74475 from APC
297. Also, move CPT codes 76101, 70390, and 71060 from APC 263 to APC
264 and move CPT code 75980 from APC 297 to APC 296.
Option 2: Move CPT codes 76101, 703690, and 71060 from APC 263 to
APC 264 and move CPT code 75984 from APC 296 to APC 264. Move CPT code
75980 from APC 297 to APC 296.
Option 3: Create a new APC, Level III Miscellaneous Radiology
Procedures, by moving CPT codes 76080, 7036736, 76101, 70390,
74190, and 71060 from APC 263. Move CPT code 74327 from APC 296 to APC
263 and move CPT code 75980 from APC 297 to APC 296. APC 264 remains
unchanged.
The Panel noted that none of the options that we presented resolve
all of the 2 times violations. However, the Panel agreed that Option 2
would create more clinically coherent APCs without creating a new APC
based on anticipated device costs that would be billed in 2002. In
addition, the Panel invited the American College of Radiology and other
interested parties to proposed further changes for the Panel's
consideration next year.
We proposed to accept the Panel's recommendations that option 2 be
implemented.
APC 230: Level I Eye Tests and Treatments
APC 231: Level III Eye Tests and Treatments
APC 232: Level I Anterior Segment Eye Procedures
APC 233: Level II Anterior Segment Eye Procedures
APC 234: Level III Anterior Segment Eye Procedures
[[Page 66725]]
APC 235: Level I Posterior Segment Eye Procedures
APC 236: Level II Posterior Segment Eye Procedures
APC 237: Level III Posterior Segment Eye Procedures
APC 238: Level I Repair and Plastic Eye Procedures
APC 239: Level II Repair and Plastic Eye Procedures
APC 240: Level III Repair and Plastic Eye Procedures
APC 241: Level IV Repair and Plastic Eye Procedures
APC 242: Level V Repair and Plastic Eye Procedures
APC 247: Laser Eye Procedures Except Retinal
APC 248: Laser Retinal Procedures
APC 698: Level II Eye Tests and Treatments
APC 699: Level IV Eye Tests and Treatments
We asked the Panel to review these APCs to address clinical
inconsistencies and violations of the 2 times rule. We suggested
creating a new level for posterior segment eye procedures and other
changes in order to make the groups more clinically coherent, as
follows:
[sbull] Move CPT codes 65260 and 67218 from APC 237 to 236.
[sbull] Create a new APC (Level IV Posterior Segment Eye
Procedures) by moving CPT codes 67107, 67112, 67040, and 67108 from APC
237.
[sbull] Move CPT codes 67145, 67105, and 67210 from APC 247 to APC
248.
[sbull] Move CPT code 66999 from APC 247 to APC 232.
[sbull] Move CPT code 67299 from APC 248 to APC 235.
[sbull] Move CPT codes 65855, 66761, and 66821 from APC 248 to APC
247.
[sbull] Move CPT code 67820 from APC 698 to APC 230.
[sbull] Move CPT code 67208 from APC 231 to APC 235.
[sbull] Move CPT codes 92226, 92284, 65205, 92140 from APC 231 to
APC 698.
[sbull] Move CPT code 92235 from APC 231 to APC 699.
[sbull] Move CPT code 68100 from APC 233 to APC 232.
[sbull] Move CPT code 65180 from APC 233 to APC 234.
[sbull] Create a new APC (Level IV Anterior Segment Eye Procedures)
by moving CPT codes 66172, 66185, 66180, 66225 from APC 234.
[sbull] Move CPT code 92275 from APC 216 to APC 231.
No presenters commented on these APCs, and, after brief discussion,
the Panel recommended concurrence with our suggested changes. We
proposed to accept the Panel's recommendations. We noted in the
proposed rule that when we were able to use 2001 claims data to re-
evaluate the changes recommended by the Panel for these APCs, we found
violations of the 2 times rule in the reconfigured APCs. Nonetheless,
we proposed to accept the Panel's recommendations because they result
in more clinically coherent APCs. We solicited comments on further
changes that would address the violations of the 2 times rule.
APC 110: Transfusion
APC 111: Blood Product Exchange
APC 112: Apheresis, Photopheresis, and Plasmapheresis
We presented these APCs to the Panel in 2001 because of their low
payment rates and concern that our cost data were inaccurate. These
APCs were on the 2002 agenda in order to obtain further comment on our
cost data. We suggested no changes in the structure of these APCs.
The Panel recommended that plasma derivatives be placed in their
own APCs and classified in the same manner as whole blood products. In
addition, the Panel observed that hospitals incur additional costs with
each unit of blood product transfused and, therefore, recommended that
APC 110 be revised to allow for the costs of additional units of blood
product and clinical services.
In section IV.D of this rule, we discussed our payment proposals
for drugs and biologicals for which pass-through payments are scheduled
to expire in 2003. Those proposals would affect payment for blood and
blood products. We proposed not to accept the Panel's recommendation to
change current OPPS payment policy for transfusions.
Panel Recommendations to Defer Changes Pending Availability of 2001
Claims Data
Regarding the remaining APC groups that are addressed below, the
Panel recommended that we make no changes until data from claims billed
in 2001 under the OPPS become available for analysis. The Panel further
requested that we place the APC groups in this section on the agenda
for consideration at its meeting in 2003. The changes that we proposed
for the APCs in this section are based upon our review of the 2001
claims data, which did not become available until March 2002.
APC 203: Level V Nerve Injections
APC 204: Level VI Nerve Injections
APC 206: Level III Nerve Injections
APC 207: Level IV Nerve Injections
Several presenters to the Panel suggested changes in the
configuration of these APCs because of concerns that the current
classifications result in payment rates that are too low relative to
the resource costs associated with certain procedures in the APCs.
Several of these APCs include procedures associated with drugs or with
device categories for which pass-through payments are scheduled to
expire in 2003. The Panel recommended that we not change the structure
of these APCs at this time. Because the structure of these APCs was
substantially changed for 2002, and 2002 cost data was not yet
available, the Panel felt it would be appropriate to review 2002 cost
data prior to making further structural changes to these APCs. We
proposed to accept the Panel's recommendation.
We will place these APCs on the Panel's agenda when 2002 cost data
becomes available.
APC 43: Closed Treatment Fracture Finger/Toe/Trunk
APC 44: Closed Treatment Fracture/Dislocation, Except Finger/Toe/Trunk
On the basis of 1999-2000 claims data, these APCs violate the 2
times rule. The Panel reviewed these APCs and recommended no changes.
Our subsequent review of 2001 OPPS cost data shows continuing
violations of the 2 times rule and that costs within these APCs are
virtually identical. Therefore, we proposed to combine APCs 43 and 44
into APC 43. The procedures in the consolidated APC are clinically
homogeneous.
APC 58: Level I Strapping and Cast Application
APC 59: Level II Strapping and Cast Application
The Panel reviewed these APCs and recommended that no changes be
made pending analysis of 2001 claims data. The Panel did recommend that
billing instructions be developed on the appropriate use of the codes
in these APCs. We agreed with the Panel's recommendation regarding the
need for billing instructions, and we expect to develop such
instructions for hospitals to use in 2003.
Our subsequent review of 2001 claims data reveals that, in some
cases, costs for short casts and splints are greater than costs for
long casts and splints. Moreover, the proposed payments for these two
APCs, based on 2001 OPPS data, would not differ significantly from each
other. Therefore, we proposed to combine the codes in APC 58 and APC 59
into a single APC, APC 58. Combining these APCs does not compromise
clinical homogeneity. The relative weight of the proposed single APC is
virtually identical to the relative weight of each of the two current
APCs. We proposed to continue to work with hospitals to develop
appropriate coding
[[Page 66726]]
for these services and will review the appropriate APC structure for
these services next year.
APC 279: Level I Angiography and Venography Except Extremity
APC 280: Level II Angiography and Venography Except Extremity
Without the benefit of 2001 OPPS claims data, it was difficult for
the Panel to determine whether the apparent violation of the 2 times
rule in APCs 279 and 280 was attributable to underreporting of
procedures or inaccurate coding. Therefore, the Panel recommended no
changes pending the availability of the more recent claims data. After
subsequently reviewing the 2001 claims data, we proposed to move CPT
codes 75978, Transluminal balloon angioplasty, venous, radiological
supervision and interpretation, and 75774, Angiography, selective, each
additional vessel studied after basic examination, radiological
supervision and interpretation, to new APC 0668. This would resolve
violations of the 2 times rule and result in clinically coherent APCs.
APC 115: Cannula/Access Device Procedures
We proposed to move CPT code 36860, External Cannula Declotting;
without balloon catheter, to APC 103, Miscellaneous Vascular
Procedures. We believe this makes both APC 115 and APC 103 more
clinically homogeneous and it resolves a violation of the 2 times rule
in APC 115 that was caused by the presence of CPT code 36860.
APC 93: Vascular Repair/Fistula Construction
APC 140: Esophageal Dilation without Endoscopy
APC 141: Upper GI Procedures
APC 142: Small Intestine Endoscopy
APC 143: Lower GI Endoscopy
APC 144: Diagnostic Anoscopy
APC 145: Therapeutic Anoscopy
APC 146: Level I Sigmoidoscopy
APC 147: Level II Sigmoidoscopy
APC 148: Level I Anal/Rectal Procedure
APC 149: Level II Anal/Rectal Procedure
Our subsequent review of 2001 claims data suggests that the cost
data for APCs 144 and 145 are aberrant. The cost data for these APCs
yield relative weights and payments that are significantly higher than
the relative weights for APCs 146 and 147, which consist of similar
procedures performed through a sigmoidoscope rather than an anoscope.
As currently arranged, the APC configuration for these services could
provide a financial incentive for hospitals to perform unnecessary
anoscopic procedures, either alone or with a sigmoidoscopy. To rectify
this problem, we proposed to move the procedures in APCs 144 and 145 to
APC 147 with the exception of CPT code 46600, Anoscopy; diagnostic,
which we proposed to assign to APC 340, Minor Ancillary procedures. We
believe these changes would result in clinically coherent APCs with
appropriate relative weights and payment rates.
APC 363: Otorhinolaryngologic Function Tests
Based on 2001 claims data, we proposed to move CPT codes 92543,
92588, 92520, 92546, 92516, 92548, and 92584 to new APC 0660 (Level III
Otorhinolaryngolgic Function Tests). This change would resolve a 2
times rule violation and create clinically coherent APCs.
APC 96: Non-Invasive Vascular Studies
APC 265: Level I Diagnostic Ultrasound Except Vascular
APC 266: Level II Diagnostic Ultrasound Except Vascular
APC 267: Vascular Ultrasound
APC 269: Level I Echocardiogram Except Transesophageal
APC 270: Transesophageal Echocardiogram
The APC Panel recommended making no changes in the configuration of
these APCs. Based on 2001 claims data, we proposed to make several
changes in order to resolve 2 times rule violations and to make these
APCs more clinically coherent. Specifically, we proposed to move CPT
code 43499 from APC 0140 to APC 141; CPT code 93721 from APC 0096 to
APC 368; CPT code 93740 from APC 0096 to APC 367; CPT code 93888 from
APC 0267 to APC 266; and CPT code 93931 from APC 0267 to APC 266. We
also proposed to move CPT codes 78627, 76825, and 93320 from APC 0269
to new APC 0671 to achieve more clinical coherence. We also proposed to
create new APC 0670 for intravascular ultrasound and intracardiac
echocardiography consisting of CPT codes 37250, 37251, 92978, 92979,
and 93662.
APC 291: Level I Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine Excluding Myocardial Scans
APC 292: Level II Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine Excluding Myocardial
Scans
Subsequent to the APC Panel meeting, we received comments on these
APCs from the Nuclear Medicine Task Force. After a thorough review of
that proposal within the context of the 2001 claims data, we proposed
to accept the recommendations of the Nuclear Medicine Task Force, which
would result in a complete reconfiguration of APCs 290, 291, and 292.
Although the reconfiguration would create violations of the 2 times
rule, we agree with the Task Force that the reconfigured APCs are more
clinically coherent. We note that APCs 290, 291, and 292 as currently
configured would also violate the 2 times rule. Therefore, we solicited
comments on the proposed reconfiguration of APCs 290, 291, and 292 and
on alternative groupings that would achieve clinical coherence without
violating the 2 times rule.
APC 274: Myleography
APC 179: Urinary Incontinence Procedures
APC 182: Insertion of Penile Prosthesis
APC 19: Level I Excision/Biopsy
APC 20: Level II Excision/Biopsy
APC 21: Level IV Excision/Biopsy
APC 22: Level V Excision/Biopsy
PC 694: Level III Excision/Biopsy
Based on 2001 claims data, we proposed to move several codes from
APC 19 to APC 20 and several codes from ACP 20 to APC 21. Additionally,
we proposed to move CPT codes 11770, 54105, and 60512 to APC 22. We
also proposed to move CPT code 58999 to APC 191 and CPT code 37799 to
APC 35. These changes would result in clinically coherent APCs that do
not violate the 2 times rule.
APC 24: Level I Skin Repair
APC 25: Level II Skin Repair
APC 26: Level III Skin Repair
APC 27: Level IV Skin Repair
APC 686: Level V Skin Repair
Based on 2001 claims data, we proposed to move CPT code 43870 from
APC 0025 to APC 141; and CPT codes with high costs from APC 26 to APC
27. We also proposed to move the codes remaining in APC 26 to APC 25.
APC 26 would then be deleted. These changes would result in a more
compact APC structure without compromising the clinical homogeneity of
the reconfigured APCs and without violating the 2 times rule. See Table
1 for the final list of codes to be moved from APC 26 to APC 25 or APC
27.

Based on 2001 claims data, we proposed to address violations of the
2 times rule by moving CPT codes 40812, 42330, and 21015 from APC 0252
to APC 253 and by moving CPT codes 41120 and 30520 to APC 254.
We are adopting the changes discussed in the proposed rule as final
except as noted in our discussion of specific APC changes in section
II.B, below.
B. Other Changes Affecting Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC)
Assignments
1. Limit on Variation of Costs of Services Classified Within a
Group
Section 1833(t)(2) of the Act provides that the items and services
within an APC group cannot be considered comparable with respect to the
use of resources if the highest cost item or service within a group is
more than 2 times greater than the lowest cost item or service within
the same group. However, the statute authorizes the Secretary to make
exceptions to this limit on the variation of costs within each group in
unusual cases such as low-volume items and services. No exception may
be made, however, in the case of a drug or biological that has been
designated as an orphan drug under section 526 of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Taking into account the APC changes discussed in relation to the
APC panel recommendations in this section of this preamble and the use
of 2001 claims data to calculate the median cost of procedures
classified to APCs, we reviewed all APCs to determine which of them
would not meet the 2 times limit. We use the following criteria when
deciding whether to make exceptions to the 2 times rule for affected
APCs:
[sbull] Resource homogeneity.
[sbull] Clinical homogeneity.
[sbull] Hospital concentration.
[sbull] Frequency of service (volume).
[sbull] Opportunity for upcoding and code fragmentation.
For a detailed discussion of these criteria, refer to the April 7,
2000, final rule (65 FR 18457).
We received several comments on this proposal. A summary of these
comments and our responses are provided below.
Comment: One commenter recommended that we move CPT code 47556
(Biliary endoscopy with dilation of biliary stricture with stent) from
APC 0152 to APC 0153 because its placement in APC 0152 violated the 2
times rule.
Response: We will not make any changes at this time, but we will
present this issue to the APC Advisory Panel. We do not use low-volume
procedures in determining whether an APC violates the 2 times rule
because there is a high potential for miscoding of such procedures and
because our cost data is less reliable. The cost data that we do have
for CPT 47556 indicates that APC 0152 is appropriate.
Comment: Several commenters thanked us for creating a separate APC
for Computed Tomographic Angiography (CTA) but requested that we not
use claims data to develop a payment rate. These commenters asserted
that our claims data was faulty because hospitals had not developed
specific charges for CTA and were using charges for other Computed
Tomography (CT) when billing for CTA. They recommended that we use
either the relative ratio of charges from hospitals that billed CTA at
a higher rate than CT and use that ratio to determine a payment rate
for CTA, or use a proxy model that the commenter had developed.
Response: Our payment rates for CT and CTA are different and our
claims data indicates that CTA costs more than CT. Using claims data
only from hospitals that charge more for CTA than CT is inappropriate,
and the proxy model has not been validated. Therefore, we will update
our payment for CTA next year based on 2002 claims data.
Table 2 contains the final list of APCs that we exempt from the 2
times rule based on the criteria cited above. In cases in which
compliance with the 2 times rule appeared to conflict with a
recommendation of the APC Advisory Panel, we generally accepted the
Panel recommendation. This was because Panel recommendations were based
on explicit consideration of resource use, clinical homogeneity,
hospital specialization, and the quality of the data used to determine
payment rates.
The median cost for hospital outpatient services for these and all
other APCs can be found at Web site: http://www.cms.hhs.gov.

2. Procedures Moved From New Technology APCs to Clinically Appropriate
APCs
In the November 30, 2001 final rule, we made final our proposal to
change the period of time during which a service may be paid under a
new technology APC (66 FR 59903), initially established in the April 7,
2000 final rule. That is, beginning in 2002, we will retain a service
within a new technology APC group until we have acquired adequate data
that allow us to assign the service to a clinically appropriate APC.
This policy allows us to move a service from a new technology APC in
less than 2 years if sufficient data are available, and it also allows
us to retain a service in a new technology APC for more than 3 years if
sufficient data upon which to base a decision for reassignment have not
been collected.
Effective in 2003, we will move several procedures from new
technology APCs to clinical APCs. Those procedures and the clinical
APCs to which we are assigning the procedures for payment in 2003 are
identified in Table 3. Based upon our review of the 2001 outpatient
prospective payment system (OPPS) claims data, we believe that we have
sufficient information upon which to base assignment of these
procedures to clinical APCs. In making this determination, we reviewed
both single and multiple procedure claims. In the proposed rule at 67
FR 52103, we discuss the procedures that we followed to make this
determination. In some cases we proposed classification of a new
technology procedure in an APC with procedures that are similar both
clinically and in terms of resource consumption. In other cases, we
proposed to create a new APC for a new technology procedure because we
do not believe any of the existing APCs contain procedures that are
clinically similar and similar in terms of resource consumption. We
solicited comments on our proposed reassignment of the new technology
procedures listed in Table 3 of the proposed rule (67 FR 52103-52104).
We received several comments on this proposal which are summarized
below.
Comment: Several commenters brought to our attention that, as a
result of moving codes for proton beam radiation therapy out of APC
0710 and APC 0712 (new technology codes) and into APC 0664 (Proton beam
radiation therapy), simple treatments would receive a higher payment
while intermediate and complex treatments would receive a lower
payment. Commenters requested that these codes remain in APCs 0710 and
0712 or be split into separate APCs.
Response: We thank the commenters for bringing this to our
attention, and we agree that codes for simple proton beam radiation
therapy (CPT 77522 and CPT 77520) should be placed in a different APC
than codes for intermediate (CPT 77523) and complex (CPT 77525)
radiation therapy. However, it would be inappropriate to return these
codes to their previous new technology APCs (0712 and 0712) due to our
having sufficient claims data to place them in their own APCs.
Therefore, we will place codes for simple radiation therapy (CPTs 77522
and 77520) in APC 0664 and codes for intermediate (CPT 77523) and
complex (CPT 77525) therapy in the newly created APC 0650.
Comment: Numerous commenters expressed concern over the movement of
HCPC G0173 (Stereo radiosurgery, complete) from APC 0721 (New
Technology Level XV $5,000-$6,000) to APC 0663 (Stereotactic
radiosurgery), resulting in lower payment. Commenters requested that
HCPCS G0173 be returned to APC 0721 (New Technology Level XV $5,000-
$6,000) because our current data includes both linear accelerator and
multi source treatments.
Response: We agree with commenters and have returned HCPC G0173
(Stereotactic radiosurgery, complete) to APC 0721 (New Technology Level
XV $5,000-$6,000). We will review our claims data for next year's
proposed rule to determine appropriate placement for all stereotactic
radiosurgery procedures.
Comment: Many commenters brought to our attention that G0251
(Stereotactic radiotherapy, multisession) was erroneously omitted from
the proposed rule. Commenters asserted that G0251 differs substantially
from G0173 and G0243, and they requested that G0251 be reinstated and
placed in an APC that pays more than APC 0721 (New Technology Level XV
$5,000-$6,000).
Response: We thank the commenters for bringing this to our
attention, and we agree that the elimination of G0251 in the proposed
rule was in error. However, we do not agree with the
[[Page 66729]]
placement of G0251 in an APC that pays more than APC 0721 (New
Technology Level XV $5,000-$6,000). Although there are significant
fixed costs for all stereotactic radiosurgery procedures, our review of
cost data does not show that our current APC assignment for G0251 (APC
713) is inappropriate. We will review the APC assignments for all
stereotactic radiosurgery procedures next year when we have 2002 claims
data available.
Comment: A commenter expressed concern over the bundling of
payments for CPT 77370 (Special medical radiation physics consultation)
and CPT 77336 (Continuing medical physics consultation) into code G0242
(Multisource photon stereotactic plan) based on the understanding that
G0242 is unrelated to CPT 77370 and CPT 77336. The commenter requested
that CPT 77370 and CPT 77336 be unbundled from G0242.
Response: We want hospitals to bill all resources associated with
G0242 in one code. G0242 includes the work of a physicist and other
staff, therefore it is appropriate that the resources used for CPT
77370 and CPT 77336 remain bundled with G0242. Separate payment for
77370 and 77336 would result in duplicate payment.
Comment: Many commenters expressed concern that FDG PET procedures
are moving to a new clinical APC 0667 (Nonmyocardial positron emission
tomography) with a payment of $971--a reduction of $404. The commenters
asserted that although the proposed rule would continue separate pass-
through payment for FDG (in APC 1775), the proposed new payment would
not cover the cost of the PET procedure and would undermine access to
care.
Response: We agree that our claims data may not accurately reflect
the cost of FDG PET procedures.
On June 29, 2001, CMS announced its intention to issue a national
coverage determination (NCD) limiting the type of technology that can
be used to perform Medicare-covered PET scans. This NCD became
effective January 1, 2002. We believe that our claims data includes a
significant number of PET scans performed on coincidence cameras that
are no longer covered by Medicare. This could have the effect of
lowering the median cost as compared to our future claims data that
will reflect (due to the NCD) only the use of full-ring or partial-ring
PET scanners. For this reason, until we are confident that our claims
data reflects the predominant use of dedicated PET scanners, we will
continue to pay for FDG PET in APC 714 (New Technology--Level IX $1250-
$1500) until further review of claims data for the 2004 final rule.
Comment: A commenter expressed concern about our proposal to
reassign digital mammography from New Technology APC 0707 to a clinical
APC (0699). Commenters recommended that we retain the assignment to New
Technology APC 0707 for 1 more year until further data analysis can be
performed.
Response: We disagree with the commenter. Hospitals billed for
approximately 7,000 occurrences of digital mammography in 2001,
providing us with sufficient data upon which to calculate a median
cost.
New Technology APC Issues
Comment: A manufacturer was pleased that we designated endometrial
cryoablation as eligible for new technology service APC payment, but
was displeased at the delay in reaching our decision as well as the
specific new technology service APC in which the service was placed. We
proposed to place endometrial cryoablation into new technology service
APC 980, which has a payment rate of $1,875. The commenter contended
that endometrial cryoablation has similar resource costs as
cryoablation of the prostate and should be assigned to new technology
service APC 984, at $4,250, which would cover the cost of a
cryoablation probe also. It provided a brief cost analysis from a
single major medical center.
Response: We assigned endometrial cryoablation into new technology
service APC 980 based on cost data submitted.
New Technology APC for Preview Planning Software
Comment: A manufacturer commented on our proposal to reassign the
procedure related to Preview Treatment Planning Software (C9708) from
its current APC 975, which pays $625, to APC 973, which pays $250. The
manufacturer of Preview asserted that its sales records, which it
provided, demonstrate that the cost to hospitals of providing Preview
support the assignment of APC 975. It contended that we must have based
the new APC assignment on faulty claims data.
Response: For the final rule, we had access to a larger number of
claims for C9708, and we have moved it back to APC 975.
Comment: A manufacturer was pleased that we designated endometrial
cryoablation as eligible for new technology service APC payment, but
was displeased at the delay in reaching our decision as well as the
specific new technology service APC in which the service was placed. We
proposed to place endometrial cryoablation into new technology service
APC 980, which has a payment rate of $1,875. The commenter contended
that endometrial cryoablation has similar resource costs as
cryoablation of the prostate and should be assigned to new technology
service APC 984, at $4,250, which would cover the cost of a
cryoablation probe also. It provided a brief cost analysis from a
single major medical center.
Response: We assigned endometrial cryoablation into new technology
service APC 980 based on cost data submitted.

3. APC Assignment for New Codes Created During Calendar Year (CY) 2002
and Selected Codes and APC Assignments for 2003
During CY 2002, we created several HCPCS codes to describe services
newly covered by Medicare and payable under the hospital OPPS. While we
have assigned these services to APCs for CY 2002, we opened the
assignments to public comment in the proposed rule. In addition, in the
proposed rule, we proposed to create several new HCPCS codes and APC
assignments with an effective date of January 1, 2003 and we solicited
comments on these proposed codes and proposed APC assignments. Table 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HCPCS Codes Created During CY 2002
The G codes G0245 through G0250 were created to implement payment
for newly covered Medicare services due to national coverage
determinations. The G codes G0252-G0255 were established October 1,
2002, as a result of national coverage policies that became effective
October 1, 2002. These codes were created to accurately describe the
services covered, to ensure that they were reported correctly, to track
their utilization, and to establish payment. We solicited comments on
the APC assignment of these services. The codes describing evaluation
and management services were assigned to clinic visit APCs containing
similar services, and the codes describing procedural services were
assigned to new technology APCs or to APCs containing procedures
requiring similar resource consumption. Because G0250 is a professional
service furnished by a physician, it is not payable under OPPS.
We did not receive any comments on the codes or APC assignments for
G0245, G0246, G0247, G0248, G0249, G0250, or G0255. Therefore, we are
finalizing them as shown.
We are also finalizing APC assignments for G0252, G0253, and G0254.
The comments and responses for these services are discussed elsewhere
in this preamble.
We implemented HCPCS code G0258 (Intravenous Infusion(s) During
Separately Payable Observation Stay)
[[Page 66732]]
effective October 1, 2002, to describe infusion therapy given during a
separately payable observation stay. We assigned it to APC 0340 because
we believed APC 0340 appropriately accounts for the resources used for
infusion during observation. As discussed in section X.B, we received
many comments opposing creation of this code. Therefore, we will delete
it effective January 1, 2003.
New HCPCS Codes for January 1, 2003, for Which We Proposed APC
Assignments in the August 9, 2002 Proposed Rule
In the August 9, 2002, proposed rule, we proposed to create several
new HCPCS codes for 2003 to address issues that have come to our
attention, to describe new technology procedures, to implement policy
proposals discussed in the rule, and to allow more appropriate
reporting of procedures currently described by (physician's) current
procedural terminology (CPT) (HCPCS Level I) codes. The codes we
proposed are as follows:
(1) G0FFF--Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy Services--we proposed
to create this code to describe bone marrow aspiration and biopsy
performed through the same incision. We proposed to place this code in
APC 0003. This code also appears in the proposed rule for the physician
fee schedule, published in the June 28, 2002, issue of the Federal
Register (67 FR 43846). This code would facilitate proper reporting of
this procedure.
As discussed under general comments and responses below, we
received many comments that objected to the proliferation of G codes
for the services for which the CPT or HCPCS level II process could be
used to create a code. After review of the comments, we agree that this
code should go through the CPT process. Therefore, we have not
implemented the G code we proposed. We will instead, submit a code for
``Bone Marrow Biopsy and Aspiration Performed in the Same Bone'' to CPT
in time for the 2004 CPT code cycle.
(2) G0257--Unscheduled and Emergency Treatment for ESRD Patients--
we proposed this code to facilitate payment for dialysis provided to
ESRD patients in the outpatient department of a hospital that does not
have a certified ESRD facility. The comments, responses, and final
action regarding these services are discussed in section X.F of this
rule.
(3) G0259 and G0260--Sacroiliac Joint Injections--we proposed to
create these two codes to replace CPT code 27096, Injection procedure
for sacroiliac joint, arthrography and/or anesthetic steroid. CPT code
27096 describes two distinct procedures requiring different resource
consumption. Moreover, our policy of packaging injection procedures for
imaging required packaging of this procedure even when it was used to
report injection of a steroid or anesthetic. In these cases, it was
appropriately billed without another procedure and should have been
payable. Therefore, in order to facilitate appropriate reporting and
payment for the procedures described by CPT code 27096, we proposed to
create G0259, Injection procedure for sacroiliac joint, arthrography,
and G0260, Injection procedure for sacroiliac joint, provision of
anesthetic and/or steroid. We proposed to give G0259 status indicator
N, and we proposed to assign G0260 to APC 0204.
Comment: Many commenters raised concern over nonpayment for
sacroiliac joint injections. The commenter brings to our attention that
when a sacroiliac joint injection, CPT code 27096 (Injection procedure
for sacroiliac joint, arthrography and/or anesthetic steroid), is
performed for anesthetic/steroid purposes, the procedure is not being
paid since the costs are only packaged into the arthrography imaging
component.
Response: We appreciate this concern and agree with the commenter
that payment should be made for sacroiliac joint injections when
administered for anesthetic/steroid purposes. Therefore, in order to
facilitate appropriate reporting and payment for the procedures
described by CPT code 27096 (Injection procedure for sacroiliac joint,
arthrography and/or anesthetic steroid), we have created the following
new G-codes to replace CPT code 27096: G0259 (Injection procedure for
sacroiliac joint, arthrography) and G0260 (Injection procedure for
sacroiliac joint, provision of anesthetic and/or steroid). G0259 has
been given status indicator N, and G0260 has been assigned to APC 0204.
(4) G0KKK--Prostate Brachytherapy--we proposed this code to
implement our policy decision discussed in section III.C.3 of the
proposed rule (section IV.E of this rule). As a result of comments we
created two new codes G0256 and G0261. See section IV.E. for the
discussion of prostate brachytherapy.
(5) G0263 and G0264--Observation Care--we proposed to create these
codes to describe observation care provided to a patient who is
directly admitted from a physician's office to a hospital for
observation care. We discussed these codes in detail in section VIII.B
of the proposed rule. Our discussion of the final action, comments, and
responses is contained in section X.B of this rule.
(6) G0290, G0291; Drug Eluting Stents--We discuss these codes in
the immediately following section.
Drug-Eluting Stents
In the August 9, 2002 proposed rule, we discussed the exceptional
circumstances that led us to propose a departure from our standard OPPS
payment methodology as we have done under the inpatient PPS for Federal
fiscal year (FY) 2003 (67 FR 50003-50005). We made this unusual
proposal to ensure consistent payment for drug-eluting stents in both
the inpatient and outpatient settings; to ensure that hospital
resources are not negatively affected by a sudden surge in demand for
this new technology if FDA approval is received; and to ensure that
Medicare payment does not impede beneficiary access to what appears to
be a potentially landmark advance in the treatment of coronary disease.
Consistent with the special approach we implemented in the inpatient
PPS final rule, we proposed to create two new HCPCS codes and a new APC
that may be used to pay for the insertion of coronary artery drug-
eluting stents under the OPPS to be effective if these stents receive
FDA approval for general use. Of course, as with other new procedures,
FDA approval does not mean that Medicare will always cover the approved
item. Medicare coverage depends upon whether an item or service is
medically necessary to treat an illness or injury as determined by
Medicare contractors based on the specifics of individual cases.
The new HCPCS codes that we proposed are as follows:
G0290--Transcatheter placement of a drug eluting intracoronary
stent(s), percutaneous, with or without other therapeutic intervention,
any method; single vessel
G0291--Transcatheter placement of a drug eluting intracoronary
stent(s), percutaneous, with or without other therapeutic intervention,
any method; each additional vessel
We proposed to assign G0290 and G0291 to new APC 0656,
Transcatheter Placement of Drug-Eluting Coronary Stents, with a status
indicator of T.
To establish a payment amount for the proposed new APC, we proposed
to apply the same assumptions that we used in establishing the weights
for diagnosis-related group (DRG) 526 (Percutaneous Cardiovascular
Procedure with Drug-Eluting Stent with AMI) and DRG 527 (Percutaneous
Cardiovascular Procedure With Drug-Eluting Stent Without AMI) as
described in the final
[[Page 66733]]
rule implementing the FY 2003 inpatient PPS. That is, we assume a price
differential of approximately $1,200 when drug-eluting stents are used.
We assumed an average of 1.5 stents per procedure, and we proposed to
add $1,200 to the median costs established for APC 0104 based on 2001
claims data to determine the payment rate for APC 656. We proposed to
calculate a relative payment weight and payment rate for APC 0656 in
accordance with the methodology that we discuss in section III.B. of
this preamble.
We proposed to implement payment under APC 0656 effective April 1,
2003, consistent with the effective date for implementation of the
drug-eluting DRGs under the OPPS and contingent upon FDA approval by
that date. If the FDA grants approval prior to April 1, 2003, hospitals
would be paid for insertion of coronary artery drug-eluting stents
under APC 104. Such claims may qualify for outlier payments.
We proposed to establish the new HCPCS codes and APC group for
coronary artery drug-eluting stents to allow close tracking of the
utilization and costs associated with these services. In the proposed
rule, we invited comments on this proposed methodology for recognizing
the additional costs of drug-eluting stents under the OPPS.
Comment: All of the commenters who addressed our payment proposal
for drug-eluting stents supported our taking proactive steps to create
an APC for this new technology in anticipation of FDA approval by April
2003. However, most of the commenters expressed concern about the level
of payment proposed for APC 656, stating that $1,200 significantly
understates the added cost of the drug-eluting stents. One commenter
suggested that indications from the market are projecting a cost of
$2,000 per stent. Another commenter cited vendors who indicate that
drug-eluting stents will cost 3 times the cost of the current stent for
an approximate cost of $3,360 each. Several commenters stated that the
incremental cost between a bare metal and a drug-eluting stent is
expected to be $2,000. Two commenters urged us to set the rate for APC
656 based on the actual price difference between the current and drug-
eluting stents, and one commenter recommended setting the initial
payment amount at a level that is 60 percent above the probable
hospital acquisition cost. One commenter asked why we added $1,200 to
APC 656 rather than $1,800. The basis for this request was that the
incremental payment for inpatient care was $1,800 for an average of 1.5
stents per procedure.
Response: To establish a payment rate for APC 656, we proposed to
add $1,200 to the median cost of stent insertion procedures in APC 104,
based on assumptions that we applied to establish the weights for DRGs
involving drug-eluting stents under the inpatient PPS. Based on the
median cost established for APC 104 using the 2001 claims data that
were reflected in the August 9, 2002 proposed rates, we determined that
an additional $1,200 would offset the incremental cost of an average of
1.5 drug-eluting stents per procedure.
We do not agree that the incremental payment should be $1,800.
Although it is true that 1.5 stents are typically placed per procedure,
it is rare for two stents to be placed in one coronary artery in an
outpatient setting. Furthermore, hospitals can bill under the OPPS a
separate code for each vessel in which a stent is placed, unlike the
inpatient PPS. Because hospitals will in most cases be able to report
each stent placement separately in the outpatient setting, making an
incremental payment of $1800 would significantly overpay for each
stent.
As we explain elsewhere in this preamble, the payment rates that
this final rule implements are based on more current data than those
that were available when we set the rates proposed in the August 9,
2002 rule. The rates in this final rule also reflect adjustments
intended to level the transition from rates based on pre-OPPS data and
estimated pass-through device and drug costs to rates based entirely on
OPPS data that reflect actual device and drug costs reported by
hospitals.
Comment: One commenter expressed concern about our expectation that
a new technology must ``transform'' medical care and be the object of
substantial demand in order to justify making an exception to our
standard OPPS payment methodology. The commenter believes that our
rationale for making an exception for drug-eluting stents establishes
an almost unattainable threshold for other technologies to reach in
order to receive similar treatment in the future. Conversely, another
commenter expressed concern that by establishing codes and payment
rates for drug-eluting stents, we are setting a precedent that will
likely increase the pressure to create new temporary codes for non-
breakthrough technologies. This commenter encouraged us to maintain
highly selective criteria when creating new codes for new technologies
in the future.
Response: As we explain at length in the August 9, 2002 proposed
rule, we believe that drug-eluting stents are potentially a
revolutionary approach to the treatment of coronary disease.
Ordinarily, we would expect a new technology like the drug-eluting
stent to qualify for a pass-through payment or for payment under a new
technology APC.
However, because the drug-eluting stent does not meet the criteria
established for these two methods of payment for new technology under
the OPPS, we were compelled to seek an alternative approach in order to
ensure beneficiary access to this extraordinary new treatment, once it
receives FDA approval, without placing an extraordinary burden on
hospital resources. We expect that either a pass-through payment or
assignment to a new technology APC will, in the overwhelming
preponderance of cases, provide adequate and timely payment under the
OPPS for new technology. We agree with the commenter who supported
maintaining highly selective standards when establishing codes for new
technology. The threshold for such an approach must be exceptionally
high and applicable only in the most extraordinary and unusual cases.
Comment: One commenter asked that we clarify how we will adjust the
2003 OPPS payment rates if FDA approval is not given for drug-eluting
stents by April 1, 2003. The commenter is concerned about the adverse
effect on the rates for other services that would result from our
having recalibrated and scaled the relative payment weights for all
services, taking into account additional payment for drug-eluting
stents that turns out not to be an expenditure.
Response: We have reviewed the impact of the drug-eluting stents on
the total recalibration exercise and determined that excluding the
additional allowance for the drug-eluting stents would not result in a
significant redistribution of funds for other services if FDA approval
were not issued by April 1, 2003, triggering payment under the OPPS. We
estimated that slightly fewer than one-third of the cases paid under
APC 104 (approximately 5,400 procedures) would be performed using drug-
eluting stents during the three quarters of 2003 when payment would be
made for APC 656, assuming FDA approval is issued by April 1, 2003.
Payment for the use of drug-eluting stents represents approximately
0.17 percent of the total APC weights. Restoration of these payments to
the pool of weights for other services would not measurably
[[Page 66734]]
change the weights of the other APCs. Therefore, we would not revise
the 2003 APC weights if payment for drug-eluting stents were not
allowed beginning April 1, 2003.
Comment: One commenter expressed concern that the general use of
data from other countries to set the national payment rate for a new
device in the absence of hospital claims and cost data raises long term
issues regarding the impact this approach would have on manufacturers'
investment and pricing strategies, both abroad and in the United
States. The commenter recommended that we consider these issues in more
depth.
Response: We respond to this issue in our discussion of MedPAC
comments in section XI.
Comment: One commenter recommended that we carefully monitor the
use of APCs for which the national payment rate is established based on
pricing in countries other than the United States and the costs
reported by hospitals for those APCs. Another commenter stated that the
new HCPCS codes for the drug-eluting stent procedures should be
temporary and that we should ask the CPT Editorial Board to develop
national CPT codes as soon as possible.
Response: As we indicated in the August 9, 2002 proposed rule, we
intend to closely track the utilization and costs associated with the
drug-eluting stents. We established the G-codes for the use of drug-
eluting stents precisely in order to permit us to collect these data.
However, the cost data taken from hospital claims associated with the
use of the drug-eluting stents will ultimately be incorporated into the
current CPT codes for coronary stent placement. We believe that the
current CPT codes describe the procedure adequately and that separate
permanent codes specific to the use of drug-eluting stents are not
necessary based on the expectation that drug-eluting stents will
eventually become the standard of care.
Effective for services furnished on or after April 1, 2003,
contingent upon FDA approval of the drug-eluting stents, we are
implementing payment under APC 656, Transcatheter Placement of Drug-
Eluting Coronary Stents, for two temporary HCPCS codes:
G0290 Transcatheter placement of a drug-eluting intracoronary
stent(s), percutaneous, with or without other therapeutic intervention,
any method; single vessel.
G0291 Transcatheter placement of a drug-eluting intracoronary
stent(s), percutaneous, with or without other therapeutic intervention,
any method; each additional vessel.
Note that Table 6 and Addendum B show status indicator E for HCPCS
codes G0290 and G0291 since payment under these codes will not be
effective before April 1, 2001. However, we include the APC for drug
eluting stent procedures (APC 0656) in Addendum A with the payment rate
and status indicator of T to identify how these new codes will be paid
once they are implemented.
If the FDA grants approval before April 1, 2003, hospitals will be
paid for placement of drug-eluting stents under APC 104. If the FDA
does not grant approval by April 1, 2003, we will announce a new
effective date for APC 0656 and for HCPCS codes G0290 and G0291 by
Program Memorandum.
G codes for Outpatient Services Under National Clinical Trials
We have created three new G codes for use in reporting services
furnished in hospital outpatient departments under national clinical
trials: G0292 Administration(s) of experimental drug(s) only in a
Medicare qualifying clinical trial (includes administration for
chemotherapy and other types of therapy via infusion and/or other than
infusion), per day.
G0293 Noncovered surgical procedure(s) using conscious sedation,
regional, general or spinal anesthesia in a Medicare qualifying
clinical trial, per day.
G0294 Noncovered surgical procedure(s) using either no anesthesia
or local anesthesia only, in a Medicare qualifying clinical trial, per
day.
On September 19, 2000, Medicare issued a national coverage decision
stating that Medicare will pay for the routine costs of clinical
trials. This policy is published as section 30-1 of Medicare's Coverage
Issues Manual. Because the experimental intervention is not covered but
items and services required solely because of the intervention are
covered, we needed to identify ways to properly code for and pay for
the routine costs when delivered in a hospital outpatient department.
We believe that to accurately pay for the covered services
associated with the administration of drugs as part of a clinical
trial, we need to create a new code to allow for correct billing and
payment for routine costs, as defined by the national coverage
determination. Therefore, the code G0292, ``Administration(s) of
experimental drug(s) only in a Medicare qualifying clinical trial
(includes administration for chemotherapy and other types of therapy
via infusion and/or other than infusion), per day,'' should be billed
when only experimental drugs are administered as part of a Medicare
qualifying clinical trial. When an experimental drug is being
administered in conjunction with payable drugs or on the same day as
payable drugs, G0292 should not be used. Instead, the appropriate drug
administration code should be billed.
There are also procedures that may be performed in the hospital
outpatient department as part of a qualifying clinical trial. Because
the intervention is not covered under Medicare's clinical trial policy,
we need a mechanism to pay the hospital for its covered fixed costs
associated with providing the service under the clinical trial. We have
created two codes to allow for correct billing of procedures performed
as the focus of qualifying clinical trials, G0293 and G0294. G0293 is
defined as ``Noncovered surgical procedure(s) using conscious sedation,
regional, general or spinal anesthesia in a Medicare qualifying
clinical trial, per day,'' and G0294 is defined as ``Noncovered
surgical procedure(s) using either no anesthesia or local anesthesia
only, in a Medicare qualifying clinical trial, per day.''
All three of these codes are for OPPS use only. Other provider
types may not bill these codes.
The interim APC assignments for G0292, G0293, and G0294 are APC
0708, 0710, and 0707, respectively. The status indicator for these
three codes is S. As discussed below, this APC assignment is subject to
comment during the comment period discussed in section I of this rule.
General comments on creation and use of G codes
Comment: Several commenters were concerned about the creation of G
codes with long descriptors that appear complex and specific to OPPS
rules. In addition, we received comments indicating that the hospital
coding community was less familiar with G codes and requesting that CMS
consider other existing code sets.
Response: Prior to the creation of any G code, we examine
alternative mechanisms for implementing coverage and payment policy in
a timely fashion. In the event no other appropriate mechanism exists,
we create a G code to allow accurate payment given applicable statutory
and regulatory requirements. After the creation of a G code, we work
with the American Medical Association's Current Procedural Terminology
(CPT) Editorial Panel whenever possible to create a replacement CPT
code. We are deleting 25 G codes this year as a result of this process.
However, there are instances
[[Page 66735]]
where G codes cannot be converted to CPT codes due to the unique nature
of the statutory and regulatory requirements. In these situations, we
work to educate the provider community as to the appropriate use of
these codes. Part of this educational effort includes the development
of comprehensive descriptors at the time the G code is created.
Comment: Two commenters indicated they would like to see a shorter
timeframe between the FDA approval for a new drug and the development
of a HCPCS code for that drug.
Response: The FDA approval process is one source of information we
use in reviewing new drugs. However, the FDA process does not address
the statutory and regulatory requirements of the Medicare program. We
perform our review of new drugs as expeditiously as possible given
these requirements. We are conscious of the need to streamline this
process and we will continue to seek ways to do so.
Public Comments on Interim APC Assignments for Codes New for 2003
As discussed in section I, we are accepting public comment on the
interim APC assignments for the new codes shown in Addendum A with the
indicator NI. These codes are new for 2003 and the APC assignment was
not subjected to public comment in the August 9, 2002 proposed rule. We
are not accepting comment on APC assignments that were proposed in the
August 9, 2002 proposed rule and are being shown as NF in Addendum B
since they have already been subjected to public comment and are made
final in this rule.
Comment: Several commenters expressed concern about the increasing
frequency of G codes issued by CMS. Commenters asserted that, in the
interest of coding standardization, clarity, and accuracy, G codes
should be developed only as a last resort. Commenters also stated that
G codes sometimes overlap or duplicate other code sets. One commenter
recommended a single, standardized process for establishment of
temporary HCPCS Level II codes, ensuring that a duplicate or
overlapping code is not anticipated in another coding set (for example,
CPT).
Response: We agree that, where appropriate, G codes should be
temporary. Unfortunately, it is sometimes necessary to develop G codes
to accommodate changes in legislation, regulation, coverage, and
payment policy. Not only is the timetable for such changes inconsistent
with the timetable for CPT publication, but frequently these changes
must be made on a quarterly basis.
In 2002, CMS and CPT staff, working together, reviewed all existing
G codes and agreed to transition over 20 of them to CPT codes.
Therefore, for 2003 many G codes will be deleted in favor of newly
created CPT codes. We believe that an annual review of G codes by CMS
and CPT staff is the best way to determine which G codes should be
transitioned to CPT codes and the process to use for such a transition.
Therefore, we plan to continue working with CPT staff on an annual
basis to continue transitioning existing G codes to CPT codes. We
believe such an annual, comprehensive review will address the
commenters' concerns. However, we do wish to emphasize that CMS, where
appropriate, does consult with interested providers prior to the
creation of G codes in order to facilitate coding clarity and minimize
the coding burden on hospitals.
4. Other Public Comments on APC Assignments and Payment Rates
Comment: One commenter asked us to create three new tech APCs for
cardiac resynchronization therapy, or, alternatively, to establish a
new tech APC payment for placement of the left ventricular lead used in
cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Response: We have placed the CPT codes for left ventricular lead
placement in new tech APCs. We believe the APC placement accounts for
the cost of the procedure and for the lead. The cost of the guidewires
and catheters used in the procedure will be captured in the code used
to report placement of the pacemaker or cardioverter defibrillator and
other leads.
Comment: Several commenters were concerned about bundling payment
of radiopharmaceuticals into procedures and about payment reductions
for myocardial perfusion scanning.
Response: Payment for most myocardial perfusion scans will increase
in 2003 and the payment reduction for scans in APC 666 is commensurate
with the costs of performing those procedures. The issue of packaging
radiopharmaceuticals is discussed elsewhere in this preamble.
Comment: A commenter expressed concern about CMS's decision to
discontinue the pass-through category C1780 (New Technology Intraocular
Lens (IOLs)). The commenter stated that the proposal to eliminate this
code from pass through status and separate payment contradicts existing
regulations.
Response: We do not agree that our proposal contradicts existing
regulations. We believe the commenter is referring to Sec. 141 (b) of
the Social Security Act Amendments of 1994 (Public Law 103-432) that
requires us to implement a process under which interested parties may
request a review of the appropriateness of payment for IOLs furnished
by ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs). In compliance with this
statutory change, we published regulations concerning payment for IOLs
in ASCs (42 CFR 416). Those regulations do not apply to the payment for
such lenses furnished to patients of hospital outpatient departments.
As described elsewhere in the final rule, the cost of IOLs, along with
the costs of other sunsetting pass through devices, is reflected in the
median cost and thus the payment for the procedures with which IOLs are
used.
Comment: A commenter asserted that the current description of HCPCS
code J2790 is flawed. According to the commenter, the description of
``1 dose package'' does not accurately describe the two sizes of dosage
units available in the marketplace for different indications (50 mcg
and 300 mcg). The commenter expressed hope that an application for new
HCPCS codes would be approved, and the commenter also requested that we
establish separate payment rates for this product based upon the
distinction between the two dosages. The commenter noted that current
``Redbook'' average wholesale price (AWP) for the 50 mcg dose is
$53.90; for the 300 mcg dose, it is $126.14.
Response: We reviewed the hospital charge data upon which the
payment amount for this code must be based. In the absence of separate
codes for two different product sizes, we are unable to determine a
separate median cost per encounter for the two sizes. We can only base
our determination about this product on existing data that represents
the current descriptor of this code. We note that, in using the latest
set of OPPS claims data available for the final rule, the median cost
per encounter of this code was below the $150 threshold. Therefore,
this code will be packaged in 2003.
Comment: A commenter requested that we create new HCPCS codes, one
for digital-based computer-aided detection (CAD) with screening
mammography and one for digital-based CAD with diagnostic mammography.
Response: When the computer-aided detection codes were originally
assigned, there was minimal use of CAD in conjunction with direct
digital mammography. The current descriptors of both HCPCS G0236 and
CPT code 76085 do not explicitly state that these
[[Page 66736]]
services can be billed in conjunction with either direct digital images
or standard film images converted to digital images for this reason. We
agree with the commenter that use of CAD with direct digital images
should be reportable. Therefore, we have revised the descriptor of
HCPCS code G0236 to include conversion of both direct digital images
and standard film images converted to digital images. Additionally, we
will request that the CPT editorial panel review the current definition
associated with the screening computer-aided detection code (CPT code
76085) for future revision. Until any such revision is made to CPT code
76085, hospitals should use CPT code 76085 for reporting application of
CAD to both direct digital screening images and standard film images.
The descriptor for G0236 has been revised to read as follows:
digitalization of film radiographic images with computer analysis for
lesion detection, or computer analysis of digital mammogram for lesion
detection, and further physician review for interpretation, diagnostic
mammography (list separately in addition to code for primary
procedure). We believe that we have sufficient claims data to use in
assigning digital mammography to an APC.
Comment: Several commenters expressed concern over the payment rate
reduction for CPT 52353 (Cystoureteroscopy with lithotripsy) in APC
0163 (Level IV Cystourethroscopy and other genitourinary procedures).
Commenters also requested that we place CPT 52353 in APC 0169
(Lithotripsy).
Response: Movement of CPT 52353 to APC 0169 would result in APC
0169 no longer being clinically homogenous, therefore CPT 52353
(Cystoureteroscopy with lithotripsy) will remain in APC 0163
(Lithotripsy) with other similar procedures.
Comment: Several commenters brought to our attention that placing
CPT 52234 (removal of small tumors) and CPT 52235 (removal of medium
tumors) in APC 163 (Level IV Cystourethroscopy) instead of APC 0162
(Level III Cystourethroscopy) would adversely affect the payment rate
for APC 0163, which contains several more costly procedures.
Furthermore, commenters stated that it seemed illogical for CPT 52234
(removal of small tumors) and CPT 52235 (removal of medium tumors) to
be placed in APC 0163 while CPT 52224 (removal of minor tumors) and CPT
52240 (removal of large tumors) were placed in APC 0162 (Level III
Cystourethroscopy). These commenters requested that these four codes be
placed together in APC 0162 (Level III Cystourethroscopy).
Response: We agree with commenters and have placed CPT codes 52234
and 52235 in APC 0162 (Level III Cystourethroscopy). This result is a
significant increase in payment for APC 0163 while maintaining an
appropriate payment rate for CPT codes 52234 and 52235.
Comment: A commenter stated that APC 0100 (Cardiac stress tests)
carries a proposed payment rate of $69.69, which the commenter believes
does not sufficiently cover the cost of CPT 93025 (Microvolt t-wave
alternans). The commenter requested that CPT 93025 be assigned to an
APC that pays in the $250 range.
Response: CPT 93025 (Microvolt t-wave assessment) is frequently
performed simultaneously with CPT 93017 (Cardiovascular stress test)
(that is, the patient is placed on a treadmill once and data for the
stress test and Microvolt t-wave alternans are obtained
simultaneously), achieving significant economies of scale. Therefore we
will keep CPT 93025 (Microvolt t-wave assessment) in APC 0100 (Cardiac
stress tests). However, we will review this request again next year
when we have more claims data for 93025.
Comment: We received several comments urging that CPT 52647 (Laser
surgery of prostate) be placed in a higher paying APC than APC 0163
(Level IV Cystourethroscopy and other genitourinary procedures) in
order to cover the cost of a new laser source involved in this
procedure.
Response: We have significant claims for this procedure. Any costs
associated with new technology developed to perform this procedure
should be reflected in future claims data, insofar as the new
technology is used, and will be reflected in our updated payment rates.
Because we have sufficient claims data indicating the appropriate
placement of this service is in APC 0163, CPT 52647 (Laser surgery of
prostate) will remain in APC 0163.
Comment: A commenter urged that we maintain a separate APC for
items currently billed under C1784 (Ocular device, intraoperative,
detached retina). The commenter stated that separate coding and payment
would ensure that the procedure groupings maintain their clinical
homogeneity and remain similar with respect to resource consumption.
Response: We do not agree that a separate APC for items currently
billed under C1784 (Ocular device, intraoperative, detached retina) is
necessary to maintain clinical homogeneity or to remain similar with
respect to resource consumption. Therefore, items currently billed
under C1784 will not remain in a separate APC. However, we will present
this issue to the Advisory Panel on Ambulatory Payment Classification
Groups (the APC Advisory Panel) next year for further review.
Comment: A commenter expressed concern over the movement of CPT
15000 (surgical debridement) from APC 0026 (Level III Skin repair) to
APC 0025 (Level II Skin repair) due to the consolidation of these APCs.
The commenter believed that if CPT 15000 and CPT 15342 (Cultured skin
graft, 25 cm) were placed in the same APC that separate payment would
not be made for both procedures.
Response: The commenter is incorrect. Separate payment will be made
for both procedures even if they are in the same APC. Because this APC
has a status indicator of ``T,'' payment of the full APC amount will be
made for the first procedure and 50 percent of the APC amount will be
paid for the second procedure. Furthermore, we believe that the codes
within APC 0025 are clinically homogeneous and do not violate the 2
times rule. Therefore, we will not move either of these procedures into
a different APC.
Comment: Several commenters stated that autonomic nervous system
(ANS) services (HCPCS 95921 and 95922) are incongruent with the
services grouped in APC 0218. The commenter asserted that ANS tests are
more appropriately grouped in APC 0216 when evaluated on the basis of
complexity and resources used.
Response: The APC Advisory Panel reviewed this issue and
recommended that we move HCPCS 95921 and 95922 to APC 0216 only if our
claims data supported such a move. Since our claims data did not
support such a move, HCPCS 95921 and 95922 will remain in APC 0218.
However, we will present this concern to the APC Advisory Panel again
next year.
Comment: A commenter expressed concern over the combination of skin
tests and miscellaneous red blood cell tests in APC 0341. The commenter
asserted that the services within this group cannot be considered
comparable with respect to the resources used. The commenter
recommended the creation of a new APC titled, ``Miscellaneous Red Blood
Cell Tests'' and suggested that the new APC contain the following HCPCS
codes: 86880, 86885, 86886, 86900, and 86901.
Response: We do not agree with the commenter's assertion that the
skin tests and miscellaneous red blood cell tests in APC 0341 are not
comparable with respect to the resources used. However,
[[Page 66737]]
we will present this issue to the APC Advisory Panel.
Comment: A commenter asserts that HCPCS 86915 (Bone marrow/stem
cell prep) does not fit within APC 346 (Level II Transfusion Laboratory
Procedures) and should be moved to the highest paying Transfusion
Laboratory Procedures APC 347(Level III Transfusion Laboratory
Procedures). Similarly HCPCS 86932 (Frozen blood freeze/thaw) is more
properly categorized with its sister codes (HCPCS 86930 and 86931) in
APC 347.
Response: We thank the commenter and agree that CPT code 86915
(Bone marrow/stem cell prep) is not appropriately placed in APC 0346
(Level II Transfusion Laboratory Procedures). Therefore, we have moved
HCPC 86915 to APC 0110 (Transfusion). This change maintains the
clinical homogeneity of APC 110 and allows a more appropriate payment
for CPT code 86915. We also agree with the commenter that CPT code
86932 is more appropriately assigned to APC 0347 based on resource
consumption; therefore, we have assigned HCPC 86932 to APC 0347.
Comment: Several commenters asserted that the placement of all
prosthetic urological procedures and devices in APC 0182 (Insertion of
penile prosthesis) does not adequately reflect the difference in cost
between inflatable and non-inflatable penile prostheses. These
commenters suggested that CPTs 54401, 54405, and 54410 (codes for
inflatable penile prosthesis) be separated from CPTs 54400, 54402, and
54416 (codes for insertion of penile prosthesis) and that the status
indicator for APCs 0182 (Insertion of penile prosthesis) and 0179
(Insertion of artificial urinary sphincters) be changed from ``T'' to
``S.''
Response: To the extent that no facility specializes in implanting
inflatable penile prostheses, the APC payment should, on average, be
appropriate. Therefore, we will not make any changes in APC 182 at this
time. However, we will present this issue to the APC Advisory Panel
next year. In addition, the status indicator for APCs 0182 (Insertion
of penile prosthesis) and 0179 (Insertion of artificial urinary
sphincters) will remain a ``T.'' These APCs will rarely, if ever, be
reported with a higher paying APC and thus rarely subject to reduction.
Comment: Several commenters were concerned about the large
reduction in payment for APC 0222 (Implantation of Neurological Device)
and APC 0225 (Implantation of Neurostimulator). They suggested that we
continue the use of pass through codes or use manufacturer submitted
device cost data, or hospital invoice data, to determine payment rates
for these procedures. One commenter also suggested creating a new APC
specifically to capture the costs of one brand of devices.
Response: We are also concerned about the payment reduction to
these APCs (and other APCs) and have taken steps to address these
reductions. Such steps are discussed elsewhere in this rule. For these
APCs, we developed relative weights using only claims that contained C
codes for devices and in addition we limited the absolute payment
reduction. Furthermore, because APCs 0022 and 0225 may be billed
together, we have changed the status indicator of APC 0225 to ``S.''
This means that APC 0225 will not be subject to a 50 percent reduction
in payment when billed with APC 0222. We believe that the measures we
have taken should address the concerns of the commenters.
Comment: Several commenters agreed with our proposal to make
separate payment for radiological guidance procedures.
Response: We thank these commenters and are finalizing our
proposal.
Comment: One commenter, who performs digital reconstruction of
computed tomographic angiography images, stated that the claims data
upon which we based our proposed payment rate for C9708 was flawed and
that we should use other data sources in determining a payment rate for
this code.
Response: In developing the final rule, we had access to a larger
number of claims for C9708 and have concluded our proposed payment rate
was inappropriate. Accordingly, we will not finalize our proposal, and
C9708 will continue to be paid in APC 0975.
Comment: One commenter requested that guidance be provided on
proper use of codes for strapping and casting (APCs 58 and 59).
Response: We agree with the commenter and will work with
appropriate experts to provide such guidance. In view of the similar
costs for all of these procedures in our current data, we will combine
these two APCs (as we proposed), as this is administratively easier for
hospitals.
Comment: One commenter disagreed with our proposal to combine APCs
0043 and 0044, as more work is involved in treating a fractured leg
than a fractured toe.
Response: Our claims data indicates that the hospital resources
involved in all of these procedures are very similar. Therefore, we are
finalizing our proposal.
Comment: One commenter agreed with our moving all procedures in
APCs 0144 and 0145 into APC 0147 but disagreed with our moving CPT code
46600 (diagnostic anoscopy) into APC 0340.
Response: We disagree. We had a substantial number of single
procedure claims for CPT 46600, and the median cost for CPT 46600 makes
it appropriate for placement in APC 0340. We are finalizing our
proposal.
Comment: One commenter objected to our placement of impedence
cardiography in APC 0099. The commenter stated that even though APC
0099 was clinically homogeneous, the resources required for impedence
cardiography were greater than the resources required to perform other
procedures in the APC.
Response: We disagree. The resources used for the procedures in
this APC are similar, and it is clinically homogeneous. We are not
making any changes in this APC at this time.
Comment: One commenter requested that we move CPT code 95955 (EEG
during non intracranial surgery) to APC 213 and that we move CPT code
95904 (Sensory nerve conduction) to APC 0218.
Response: We are not making any changes at this time because our
claims data indicates that these procedures are appropriately placed.
However, we will present these concerns to the APC Advisory Panel.
Comment: One commenter requested that we move CPT code 0009T
(Endometrial cryoablation) to APC 0984 because it should have a payment
rate similar to prostate cryoablation (CPT code 55873).
Response: We have placed CPT code 0009T in APC 0980. Based on the
information that we have reviewed, we believe that is an appropriate
assignment. CPT 0009T is a significantly shorter procedure than CPT
55873 and requires the use of fewer resources. The main cost of CPT
0009T is a disposable probe, the cost of which is appropriately
accounted for in APC 0980.
Comment: One commenter requested that we change the status
indicator for CPT code 92974 (Coronary brachytherapy) to S.
Response: We are not making any changes at this time, but we will
present this to the APC Advisory Panel next year to obtain its input.
Comment: A commenter requested that we move CPT code 57288 (Sling
operation for stress incontinence) from APC 202 into its own APC. This
is because it is the only procedure in the
[[Page 66738]]
APC that requires use of a device. The commenter also believed our
claims data was flawed and did not reflect the true cost of the sling
used for the procedure. The commenter also asked us to create a special
APC payment for the sling.
Response: We are not making any changes at this time but will
present this to the APC Advisory Panel. We note that we had many single
procedure claims for 57288 and that 57288 was by far the most common
procedure performed in APC 202. This means that 57288 determined the
payment rate for the APC. Therefore, moving 57288 into its own APC
would not change its payment rate. Furthermore, we do not create APCs
for devices.
Comment: Two commenters were concerned about reduced payment for
echocardiography.
Response: Review of payment rates for echocardiography does not
show a significant decrease in payment from 2002 for the most commonly
performed echocardiograms. The reduction in payment for echocardiograms
in APC 671 appropriately reflects the costs of performing those
procedures.
Comment: One commenter asked us to clarify the payment rate for
Zevalin.
Response: As discussed elsewhere in this rule we have created G
codes that describe the diagnostic and therapeutic administration of
Zevalin. These two G codes are placed in APCs with payment rates that
account for the procedure and the cost of Zevalin. We will use claims
data to update the payment rates of these services when such data
becomes available.
Comment: One manufacturer of medical devices submitted comments on
a large number of APCs (76, 81, 83, 85, 86, 87, 93, 109, 141, 147, 151,
163, 229, 656, and 670). In general the commenter was concerned about
seeming violations of the two times rule, use of improperly coded
claims, lack of use of multiple procedure claims, and our use of
medians to determine payment rates. The commenter also asked us to use
outside cost data in setting payment rates and made some specific
requests to move codes to differentAPCs.
Response: Many of this commenter's concerns have been addressed in
other responses to APC issues. We did use properly coded claims where
appropriate. Specifically, for procedures that required use of a device
we only used claims that contained C codes. We also took other measures
to mitigate steep reductions in payment for device related APCs and we
increased the number of claims we used to set payment rates (as
discussed in the proposed rule). We believe that many of the
commenter's concerns have been addressed by these measures. However, we
will review these comments and present several of the specific requests
concerning APC changes to the APC Advisory Panel.
Comment: We received many comments from physicians, freestanding
breast imaging centers, and others who believed that the proposed OPPS
payment amounts for percutaneous breast biopsy (CPT codes 19102 and
19103) would affect the payments made for physician services and in
freestanding breast imaging centers and who objected to reduced
payments to physicians and to freestanding breast imaging centers.
Response: These commenters are mistaken. The proposed rates affect
only hospital outpatient department payment. Payment to physicians and
to freestanding facilities is addressed in the Physician Fee Schedule.
Comment: We received comments from hospitals and others who
understood that the proposed payments would be limited to hospital
outpatient department services. Some of these commenters indicated that
the proposed payments for percutaneous breast biopsy (CPT codes 19102
and 19103) would be substantially below payments to hospitals for open
breast biopsy (CPT code 19101) and that the proposed rule proposed
reductions in payment for percutaneous breast biopsy while it proposed
increases in payment for open breast biopsy. They believe that the
proposed payment changes would create incentives for performing open
breast biopsies instead of less invasive procedures such as
percutaneous biopsies. This may result, they asserted, in an increased
frequency of open breast biopsies and a decreased frequency of
percutaneous breast biopsies, resulting in poorer quality of care and
increased costs to Medicare and to beneficiaries. One commenter
believed that our claims data do not appropriately account for the
costs of CPT code 19103 because CPT code 19103 was a new CPT code in
2001 and hospitals were slow to transition from using CPT code 19101
for these procedures.
Response: We thank the commenters for their comments. We note that
CPT codes 19102 and 19103 are never performed alone. They are always
performed, at minimum, in conjunction with an imaging guidance
procedure. Therefore, the true payment rate for CPT codes 19102 and
19103 is the sum of the APC payments for CPT codes 19102 or 19103 and
of the APC payments for procedures billed with CPT codes 19102 and
19103. In order to determine the true payments for these procedures, we
examined our claims data and determined the most common combination of
CPT codes billed when CPT codes 19102 and 19103 were on the claim. Our
claims data verified that CPT codes 19102 and 19103 are rarely
performed alone.
Furthermore, we looked at the 10 most frequent combinations of
codes billed with CPT codes 19102 and 19103 and summed the proposed APC
payments that would be made for these combinations of codes. This
represents the true Medicare payment for CPT codes 19102 and 19103. For
CPT code 19102 (for which the proposed rule proposed payment under APC
0005 of $157.01), total payment by Medicare would range from $181.45 to
$549.16 when the 10 most common combinations of services are provided.
Similarly for CPT code 19103 (for which the proposed rule proposed
payment under APC 0658 of $289.69), total payment by Medicare would
range from $532.05 to $681.84. These combination totals are less than
the proposed payment for open breast biopsy (APC 0028, CPT codes 19105,
19120 and 19125, for which we proposed to pay $908.04); however, as the
commenters themselves asserted, the resources required for an open
surgical procedure are greater than those used for a percutaneous
procedure. We agree with the commenters that the costs to the Medicare
program of an open breast biopsy are greater than the cost of a
percutaneous biopsy. We also believe that the relative total payment
rates, as discussed above, for open and percutaneous procedures are
appropriate.
With regard to hospital miscoding, even if hospitals took time to
transition from using CPT code 19101 to CPT codes 19102 and 19103, the
cost data for CPT codes 19102 and 19103 should be accurate. While it is
possible that the cost data for CPT code 19101 could be high as it may
include some percutaneous procedures, this would not be true for cost
data from CPT codes 19102 and 19103. Further, we would note that each
of CPT codes 19102 and 19103 were reported over 20,000 times by
hospital outpatient departments and that we had several thousand single
claims for each code upon which to base relative weights.
We do not believe that the proposed payments will create incentives
to perform inappropriate open breast biopsies. We believe that
physicians will select the procedure that best meets the needs of the
patient and that the hospital will provide the services
[[Page 66739]]
needed to support the procedure that the physician provides.
5. Procedures That Will Be Paid Only as Inpatient Procedures
Section 1833(t)(1)(B)(i) of the Act gives the Secretary broad
authority to determine the services to be covered and paid for under
the OPPS. In the April 7, 2000, final rule, we identified procedures
that are typically provided only in an inpatient setting and,
therefore, would not be paid by Medicare under the OPPS (65 FR 18455).
These procedures comprise what is referred to as the ``inpatient
list.'' The inpatient list specifies those services that are only paid
when provided in an inpatient setting. As we discussed in the April 7,
2000, and the November 30, 2001, final rules, we use the following
criteria when reviewing procedures to determine whether or not they
should be moved from the inpatient list and assigned to an APC group
for payment under the OPPS:
[sbull] Most outpatient departments are equipped to provide the
services to the Medicare population.
[sbull] The simplest procedure described by the code may be
performed in most outpatient departments.
[sbull] The procedure is related to codes we have already moved off
the inpatient list.
We last updated the inpatient list in the November 30, 2001 final
rule. As we discuss in section II.A.2 above, the APC Panel at its
January 2002 meeting reviewed certain procedures on the inpatient list
for which we had received requests that they be made payable under the
OPPS. As the Panel members recommended, we solicited comments and
further information about all of these procedures except for CPT code
47001, which they recommended to be removed from the inpatient list.
In addition to considering the comments of the APC Panel, we
compared procedures with status indicator ``C'' (status indicator ``C''
is assigned to inpatient procedures that are not payable under the
OPPS) to the list of procedures that are currently on the ambulatory
surgical center (ASC) list of approved procedures, to procedures that
we proposed to add to the ASC list in a proposed rule published in the
Federal Register on June 12, 1998 (63 FR 32291), and to procedures
recommended for addition to the ASC list by commenters in response to
the June 12, 1998, proposed rule. We concluded that it was appropriate
to propose removal of procedures from the OPPS inpatient list that are
being performed on an outpatient basis and/or that we had determined
could be safely and appropriately performed on a Medicare beneficiary
in an ASC under the applicable ASC rules, which are set forth in 42 CFR
416.22. Therefore, we proposed to add the following criteria for use in
reviewing procedures to determine whether they should be removed from
the inpatient list and assigned to an APC group for payment under the
OPPS:
[sbull] We have determined that the procedure is being performed in
numerous hospitals on an outpatient basis; or
[sbull] We have determined that the procedure can be appropriately
and safely performed in an ASC and is on the list of approved ASC
procedures or proposed by us for addition to the ASC list.
In addition to the procedures considered by the APC Panel for
removal from the inpatient list, Table 6 in the proposed rule includes
other procedures that we proposed to remove from the inpatient list for
payment under the OPPS for 2003. We applied the criteria discussed
above in order to be consistent with the ASC list of approved
procedures and with utilization data that indicate the procedures are
being performed on an outpatient basis. We solicited comments on
whether the procedures listed in Table 6 of the proposed rule should be
paid under the OPPS. We also solicited comments on the APC assignment
that we proposed for these procedures in the event we determine in the
final rule, based on comments, that these procedures would be payable
under the OPPS in 2003. We asked that commenters recommending
reclassification of a procedure to an APC include evidence (preferably
from peer-reviewed medical literature) that the procedure is being
performed on an outpatient basis in a safe and appropriate manner.
Following our review of the comments, we either assigned a CPT code
for a service formerly on the inpatient list to an APC for payment
under the OPPS or, if the comments did not provide sufficient
information and data to enable us to make a decision, we chose to keep
the service on the inpatient list for 2003 and to present the comments
to the APC Panel at its 2003 meeting. Table 6 identifies codes that
were on the inpatient list in 2002 but are not on the inpatient list in
2003 and which, therefore, will be payable under the OPPS on and after
January 1, 2003.
We received numerous comments on this proposal, which we summarize
below.
Comment: In addition to the APC Advisory Panel, numerous hospital
associations, hospitals, and other organizations recommended that we
eliminate the inpatient list. They asserted that the inpatient list
interferes with the practice of medicine and is unnecessarily
intrusive. Most of these commenters argued that it is the physician,
not the hospital, who determines what procedures should be performed
and whether a patient's condition warrants an inpatient admission.
Numerous commenters asserted that if CMS insists on retaining the
inpatient list, then the same payment rules should apply to physicians
as well as to hospitals. These commenters argued that if CMS believes
Medicare beneficiaries are at risk for safety and quality issues, then
Medicare should not pay for the professional services of the physician
who performs a procedure on the inpatient list when payment for the
hospital services is denied. In addition, several commenters noted that
because the physician receives payment when a procedure on the
inpatient list is performed on an outpatient basis, there is no
incentive for the physician to heed whether Medicare will pay the
hospital for the procedure. A few commenters noted that the inpatient
list sometimes conflicts with the policy of private payers, creating
confusion among physicians, patients, and hospitals. One commenter
recommended that it should be left to medical review to monitor site of
service. Several commenters viewed the inpatient list as an attempt to
punish hospitals for a decision over which they have no real control.
One commenter objected to the inpatient list because it places an
unfair financial burden on beneficiaries, who are liable for payment if
a procedure on the inpatient list is performed in the outpatient
setting, and because the beneficiary normally relies on the physician
to determine where a procedure is to be performed.
Response: Since implementation of the OPPS in August 2000, we have
engaged in an ongoing review of the procedures on the inpatient list.
In the August 9, 2002 proposed rule (67 FR 52092), we proposed APC
assignments for 41 procedures that have a current status indicator
designation of ``C''. We continue to move procedures from the inpatient
list to an APC for payment under the OPPS in response to comments and
recommendations from hospitals, surgeons, professional societies, and
hospital associations which demonstrate that a procedure on the
inpatient list meets our criteria for determining that a procedure can
be performed on an outpatient basis in a
[[Page 66740]]
safe and effective manner. In spite of the assertions made by
commenters, we have received very few requests since publication of the
November 30, 2001 final rule.
Hospitals or associations representing hospitals submitted the
overwhelming majority of comments recommending elimination of the
inpatient list. Their comments expressed considerable frustration
resulting from apparent conflicts with physicians over which procedures
Medicare will pay for under the OPPS. Although we understand the
frustration that exists in the hospital community about the inpatient
list, we believe that appropriate education of physicians and other
hospital staff by CMS, hospitals, and organizations representing
hospitals is the best way to minimize any existing confusion. We are
prepared to remove procedures from the inpatient list as part of the
quarterly OPPS updates. If a physician believes that a procedure should
be payable under the OPPS, we urge the hospital and physician to
provide operative reports about specific procedures on the inpatient
list are being performed on Medicare beneficiaries who are outpatients.
In the meantime, we are reviewing with CMS provider education staff
ways that we can support carrier and fiscal intermediary efforts to
clarify the reasons for the OPPS inpatient list and its billing and
payment implications. Also, in section X.C. of this preamble, we
explain how hospitals can receive payment under certain conditions for
procedures on the inpatient list that are performed on an emergency
basis when the status of a patient is that of an outpatient.
Comment: We received a number of comments regarding the criteria
that we use in reviewing procedures to determine whether they should be
removed from the inpatient list and assigned to an APC group for
payment under the OPPS, including the two new criteria that we proposed
in the August 2002 proposed rule to add to the current criteria. One
commenter asked what we meant by ``numerous'' hospitals. Several
commenters commended CMS for recognizing that surgical procedures
payable in the ambulatory surgical center (ASC) setting should also be
payable in an outpatient hospital setting and for removing a number of
codes from the inpatient list that are currently payable in an ASC.
Several commenters urged CMS to closely monitor and coordinate the OPPS
inpatient list and the ASC list for consistency and to ensure that
changes in medical practice are reflected within both lists as
expeditiously as possible. Commenters expressed concern that more than
60 CPT codes remain on the inpatient list in Addendum E even though
they are currently on the approved ASC list and urged CMS to reconcile
the disparity between the two lists.
Response: The criterion that a procedure is being performed in
``numerous'' hospitals on outpatients means that the procedure is being
performed nationally in hospitals other than a few large teaching
hospitals that specialize in innovative surgery. We intend to continue
monitoring for consistency the procedures that Medicare pays for in a
hospital outpatient setting with those that are payable in an ASC as we
prepare a final rule to update the ASC list based on the additions and
deletions that we proposed in the June 12, 1998 Federal Register (63 FR
32290).
Comment: One commenter recommended that CMS remove from the
inpatient list those procedures that routinely show a one-day inpatient
stay.
Response: We believe this recommendation has merit and we will
endeavor to conduct a study to explore the issue in preparation for the
2004 OPPS update.
Comment: One commenter stated that CMS should have a formal process
to solicit and act on suggestions to remove procedures where community
medical standards and practice can demonstrate the safety and efficacy
of performing the procedure in an outpatient setting. Another commenter
stated that physician comments, outcome data, post-procedure care data,
and medical literature would be better criteria for determining which
procedures are outpatient.
Response: As we stated above, anyone interested in having a
particular code or group of codes on the inpatient list reviewed for
payment under the OPPS need only submit a request to the Director,
Division of Outpatient Care, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services,
Mailstop C4-05-17, 7500 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21244-1850.
The request should include supporting information and data to
demonstrate that the code meets the five criteria discussed above. We
ask that evidence be submitted, including operative reports of actual
cases and peer-reviewed medical literature, to demonstrate that the
procedure is being performed on an outpatient basis in a safe and
appropriate manner in a variety of different types of hospitals. We
agree with the commenters suggestions, and encourage, in addition to
medical literature, the submission of community medical standards and
practice as well physician comments, outcome data, and post-procedure
care data to reinforce the point.
When this information is received, it is thoroughly reviewed by our
medical advisors within the context of the criteria we have
established. Further information or clarification may be requested. If,
following this review, we determine that there is sufficient evidence
to confirm that the code can be safely and appropriately performed on
an outpatient basis, we will assign the procedure to an APC and include
it as a payable procedure in the next OPPS quarterly update. The change
in payment status will be subject to public comment as part of the
subsequent annual OPPS update.
Interested parties may also submit a request to change the payment
status of a code on the inpatient list for consideration as an agenda
item at the next meeting of the APC Advisory Panel.
Comment: One commenter expressed concern about the inpatient list
becoming a ``self-fulfilling prophecy'' because hospitals cannot be
paid for procedures on the list, therefore no data become available to
show that the procedure is safely done on an outpatient basis.
Response: Information may be available on non-Medicare patients
receiving a procedure on the list. Further, this is not the sole
criterion upon which a change is based, as we note above.
Comment: One commenter recommended that CMS establish a
transitional methodology for estimating appropriate hospital costs for
CPT codes on the inpatient list that are proposed for payment under the
OPPS. The commenter expressed particular concern about payment for CPT
codes 92986, 92987, and 92990.
Response: The APC assignments for the CPT codes in Table 6 of the
August 2002 proposed rule (67 FR 52115) for which we propose to make
payment under the OPPS take into account the expectation that the
simplest procedure described by the codes, and therefore, relatively,
the least resource intensive, would be performed on an outpatient
basis. Also, we identify APCs that consist of procedures that are
similar both in terms of clinical characteristics and in terms of
resource consumption. Finally, we invited comments on the proposed APC
assignment. Over time, claims data for the newly assigned codes will
confirm either that the procedures belong in the designated APC or that
they should be moved to different APC.
Comment: Two commenters supported our proposal to remove CPT
[[Page 66741]]
code 47001, Biopsy of liver, needle; when done for indicated purpose at
time of other major procedure, from the inpatient list. Several
commenters supported generally our proposal to pay under the OPPS for
the procedures in Table 6 of the proposed rule, but did not comment on
our proposed APC assignments. One commenter urged that CPT code 92986,
Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty; aortic valve, not be assigned to
APC 0083, asserting that this procedure cannot be performed safely in
an outpatient setting. We received no other comments opposing payment
under the OPPS for the procedures listed in Table 6 of the August 9
proposed rule.
Response: We agree with the commenters and with the APC Panel's
recommendations that CPT code 47001 be payable under the OPPS beginning
in 2003. Because this is an add-on code, payment will be packaged with
the payment for the surgical procedure with which it is billed.
We are making final our proposal to remove this code from the
inpatient list, but we will consider presenting this concern to the APC
Panel. In the absence of comments disagreeing with our proposal to pay
under the OPPS for the 41 CPT codes listed in Table 6 of the August
2002 proposed rule (67 FR 52115), we are making these proposed changes
final.
Comment: One commenter favored removing CPT 33967, insertion of
intra-aortic balloon assist device, percutaneous, from the inpatient
list, but did not submit any information to support this position.
Response: We discussed in the proposed rule our uncertainty, and
that of the APC Advisory Panel, about whether or not this procedure
should be removed from the inpatient list. We also indicated that we
were having difficulty finding data to confirm that the procedure is
being performed on Medicare beneficiaries in an outpatient setting. We
asked for comments and clinical data and case reports that would
support payment for CPT 33967 under the OPPS. No commenters submitted
data in any form to support removing the procedure from the inpatient
list. Therefore, we have decided not to remove CPT 33967 from the
inpatient list in 2003.
Comment: One commenter recommended payment for CPT codes 22612,
22614, 33243, 49000, and 49062 under the OPPS.
Response: Our medical advisors reviewed these codes and have
determined that CPT 22612, Arthrodesis, posterior or posterolateral
technique, single level; lumbar (with or without lateral transverse
technique), and CPT 22614, Arthrodesis, posterior or posterolateral
technique, single level; each additional vertebral segment (list
separately in addition to code for primary procedure), are safely and
appropriately being performed on an outpatient basis. We are assigning
these codes to APC 0208.
We did not propose to remove the other codes suggested by the
commenter from the inpatient list, and the commenter submitted no
evidence to support payment for these codes under the OPPS. Nor could
we find any information to indicate that these codes meet the criteria
for moving them off the inpatient list. Therefore, we will continue to
designate these CPT codes with status indicator ``C'' in 2003.
[sbull] We are adopting two additional criteria to guide our
determination of whether a procedure should be removed from the
inpatient list:
[sbull] The procedure is being performed in numerous hospitals on
an outpatient basis; or
[sbull] The procedure can be appropriately and safely performed in
an ASC and is on the list of approved ASC procedures or proposed by us
for addition to the ASC list.
[sbull] We are adding CPT codes 22612 and 22614 to APC 0208
effective for services furnished on or after January 1, 2003.
[sbull] We are making final our proposal in the August 2002 rule to
pay under the OPPS for the CPT codes listed in Table 5, below.

C. Partial Hospitalization
Payment Methodology
As we discussed in the proposed rule, partial hospitalization is an
intensive outpatient program of psychiatric services provided to
patients in the place of inpatient care. A partial hospitalization
program (PHP) may be provided by a hospital to its outpatients or by a
Medicare-certified community mental health center (CMHC). In the August
1, 2000 final rule (65 FR 18452), we established a per diem payment
methodology for the PHP APC based on hospital data. The current per
diem payment amount is $212.27. This amount represents the hospital or
CMHC overhead costs associated with the program.
In the August 9, 2002 OPPS proposed rule, we proposed to revise the
PHP APC using 2001 claims data from hospitals and CMHCs and computed a
median per diem using the same methodology as that used for all other
APCs. As we explained in the August 9, 2002 proposed rule, we adjusted
the CMHC costs to account for the difference between settled and as-
filed cost reports. We proposed that the resulting per diem is $256.96,
of which $51.39 is the beneficiary's coinsurance.
In addition, to facilitate proper billing and ensure comparable
reporting of costs by hospitals and CMHCs, we proposed to revise Sec.
410.43 (Partial hospitalization services: Conditions and exclusions) to
add CSW services that meet the requirements of section 1861(hh)(2) of
the Act to the list of professional services not considered to be PHP
services. Such revision would mean that hospitals and CMHCs could bill
the carrier for CSW services furnished to PHP patients.
Comment: One commenter indicated that the proposed methodology for
ratesetting is appropriate.
Response: As we indicated in the April 7, 2000 OPPS final rule,
payment to providers under OPPS represents the facility costs, that is,
overhead, support staff, equipment, and supplies. The physician and
nonphysician practitioner services excluded from the definition of PHP
services are those professional services paid through the physician fee
schedule. The facility continues to incur the overhead costs associated
with provision of the professional service, for example, room, heat,
lights, mental health technicians, and nurses. The OPPS is intended to
pay providers for the resource costs associated with their outpatient
programs, including outpatient psychiatric programs and PHPs.
As part of our analysis of current billing instructions for PHP, we
discovered that Addendum B of the November 30, 2001, CY 2002 OPPS final
rule does not clearly identify all the HCPCS codes that may be billed
for PHP patients. We plan to revise this addendum in the 2004 update so
that all PHP services are identified. However, in order to avoid
billing errors, we are providing the following list of the current
HCPCS codes for PHPs:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comment: Two national behavioral health care organizations
commented that the proposed PHP rate for CY 2003 more adequately
represents the resources needed to provide PHP; however, they expressed
concern that providers continue to have difficulty in receiving
reimbursement for PHP services as a result of intermediary medical
review (MR) of claims.
Response: As noted in the comment, we have issued a program
memorandum to intermediaries regarding medical review of PHP claims.
While we recognize that MR can have a financial impact on PHP claims,
there is no direct relationship between MR and the level of
reimbursement for individual claims.
III. Recalibration of APC Weights for 2003
Section 1833(t)(9)(A) of the Act requires that the Secretary review
and revise the relative payment weights for APCs at least annually,
beginning in 2001 for application in 2002. In the April 7, 2000 final
rule (65 FR 18482), we explained in detail how we calculated the
relative payment weights that were implemented on August 1, 2000 for
each APC group. Except for some reweighting due to APC changes, these
relative weights continued to be in effect for 2001. (See the November
13, 2000, interim final rule (65 FR 67824 to 67827).)
To recalibrate the relative APC weights for services furnished on
or after January 1, 2003, and before January 1, 2004, we proposed to
use the same basic methodology that we described in the April 7, 2000
final rule. That is, we would recalibrate the weights based on claims
and cost report data for outpatient services. We proposed to use the
most recent available data to construct the database for calculating
APC group weights. For the purpose of recalibrating APC relative
weights for CY 2003, the most recent available claims data are more
than 90 million final action claims for hospital outpatient department
services furnished on or after April 1, 2001, and before March 31,
2002, and processed through July 2002. In the proposed rule, we
proposed to base the 2003 OPPS on claims for services furnished January
1, 2001 through December 31, 2001. However, after issuance of the
proposed rule we determined that coding and charges for the period of
April 1, 2001 thru March 31, 2002 would be a better base for
recalculation of weights.
We believe that using claims data from this period is consistent
with section 1833(t)(9)(A) of the Act, which directs us to take into
account ``new cost data'' in our annual review and adjustment of
components of the OPPS. This is also consistent with our proposal in
the August 9, 2002 proposed rule (67 FR 52108) to use the most recent
available claims data to set the weights. We had several reasons for
using claims from this period: claims from this period provide the most
recent charge data available to us. Since we did not implement the 2002
OPPS until April 1, 2002, we can use the claims for the period from
January 1, 2002, through and including March 31, 2002, together with
claims data from the period of April 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001 to
set weights. Using claims data for services furnished during this
period of time also provides the most reliable charge data for devices
and services that use medical devices because the device category codes
were in effect for the entire period. Hence, we believe that claims
from this period are the most reliable basis for setting relative
weights for CY 2003 OPPS.
Many of the claims from hospitals were for services that are not
paid under OPPS (such as clinical laboratory tests). We matched the
claims that are paid under OPPS to the most recent cost report filed by
the individual hospitals represented in our claims data. The APC
relative weights would continue to be based on the median hospital
costs for services in the APC groups.
A. Data Issues
1. Treatment of ``Multiple Procedure'' Claims
In the August 9, 2002 proposed rule, we discussed in detail the
circumstances in which we had difficulty with using the data from
claims that had multiple procedures (67 FR 52108). We solicited public
comment on the methods we considered for apportioning the total charges
to individual HCPCS codes as described above. These possible methods
included: dividing the total charges in a revenue center, or for a
packaged HCPCS code, by the number of payable HCPCS codes for the
multiple procedures on the claim; apportioning the charges among the
codes based on physician work relative value units (RVUs); apportioning
the charges among the codes based on physician nonfacility practice
expense RVUs; or requiring the hospital to apportion all charges
currently shown in revenue centers to the HCPCS codes billed so that we
could use all multiple services claims in the calculation of relative
weights. We also invited suggestions of other alternative means of
apportioning the total costs on multiple procedure claims to the HCPCS
codes for the procedures so that we can use more data from multiple
procedure claims in the 2004 update of the OPPS.
We also solicited information on existing studies that would
provide comparative hospital outpatient resource inputs by HCPCS code.
In addition, we welcomed suggestions for studies that we might
undertake either to determine the relative value of OPD resources by
HCPCS code or to provide a valid means of apportioning the charges
among HCPCS codes when multiple surgical procedures are billed on the
same claim with a single total charge for all services.
Finally, we solicited information regarding the extent to which
efficiencies are realized when multiple services are furnished during
the same visit or operative session.
The discussion of recalibration of relative weights in section
III.B of this final rule summarizes the process that we used to
determine the claims that could be used to set the weights.
Comments and our responses are summarized below:
[[Page 66744]]
Low Numbers of Services Used To Set Weights and Failure To Use Multiple
Procedure Claims
Comment: Many commenters indicated that we used very few of the
claims that were submitted for a particular service and that using so
few claims resulted in lower weights than would have occurred if we had
used all claims. Some commenters indicated that by using only single
procedure claims and data from multiple procedure claims that met the
criteria we set (see section III.A.I. of this final rule), we
significantly reduced the validity of the cost data. Some commenters
stated that by using median costs for procedures that can only be done
as an add-on to other procedures, we had based the payment for the add-
on procedure on data which, by definition, were faulty. Some commenters
suggested that we needed to develop an allocation strategy that would
enable us to use all multiple procedure claims, either based on a study
of relative resource allocation or an arbitrary allocation that could
be refined over the years. Some commenters asked that we reconsider our
data trimming strategy to examine each claim that is eliminated by
trimming for validity and to determine if it should be used. They asked
that any claim that represents new technology be returned to the data
set and used, notwithstanding its aberrancy.
Response: For 2003, we made great strides by increasing the number
of claims used to set the OPPS weights from 39.9 million (66 FR 59885)
for the 2002 OPPS to 62.2 million for the 2003 OPPS. We intend to
review other means of using data from multiple claims for 2004. We
recognize that it would be preferable to use data from all claims,
including those with multiple procedures, in development of the
weights, as long as we can ensure that the data recovered from those
claims are valid. We were not able to develop and test a strategy for
allocating undifferentiated charges to multiple HCPCS codes on a claim
for the 2003 final rule. Therefore, in some cases, we continued to use
data from small numbers of claims because many claims did not meet the
tests for inclusion in the data set. As discussed in section II, the
APC Panel recommended that we continue to rely on data from single
procedure claims until we were able to validly allocate charges to
multiple procedures, even in establishing payments for add-on codes. In
addition, as requested by some commenters, we excluded claims for
procedures that could not be performed without a device when the claim
did not contain the device. This gave us a more valid base of claims on
which to set the weight for that service but reduced the number of
claims used for these APCs. It became clear from this activity that
basing the weights on more claims does not necessarily result in more
valid data because in the cases of these APCs, deleting claims from the
set was necessary to arrive at a more valid relative weight.
With regard to the trimming methodology, it is a routine and
accepted statistical practice that is well established in inpatient PPS
data examination and has served well in the past to eliminate anomalies
that could further skew the data. We will consider whether it is useful
and to what extent it is practical to examine all trimmed claims to
determine if they represent the first claims for a new technology and
should remain in the body of claims.
Recommendations for Including More Multiple Procedure Claims
Comment: We received a number of comments that contained ideas for
allocating charges to multiple procedures where they exist on the
claim. Some commenters recommended that we allocate the charges to
HCPCS codes in proportion to the relative weight of the HCPCS codes or
the relative charges for the HCPCS codes. Some commenters suggested
that we survey hospitals with regard to the most common combinations of
procedures that appear on claims to determine which services and,
therefore, which charges go with which HCPCS code. Some commenters
suggested that we research the relative resources for each HCPCS code
individually and then create an algorithm by which we would allocate
charges to HCPCS codes on multiple procedure claims. One commenter
provided a study that addressed the efficiency of resource usage when
multiple procedures are performed on the same day that the commenter
recommended could be useful in allocating charges for the second and
subsequent procedures on a claim. One commenter also suggested that we
ensure that the claim assesses services on the same date of service,
since in many cases, the claim can have services that are spread over a
period of time and, therefore, are not really multiple procedures
provided at the same time. Several commenters submitted detailed
descriptions of ways by which we could allocate charges to HCPCS codes.
Many hospitals objected to any requirement that hospitals do the
allocation of all charges to HCPCS codes to show the charges that go
with each HCPCS code; they noted that doing so would require massive
accounting and cost report changes and thus impose a burden and cost on
hospitals, which would exist for no purpose other than to improve the
Medicare OPPS claims data.
Response: We expect to explore a number of strategies for
allocating charges to HCPCS codes on multiple procedure claims for the
development of the 2004 OPPS and beyond.
Impact on Data of a Visit and Drug Administration the Same Day
Comment: Several commenters applauded our attempt to include some
multiple procedure claims in the calculation of OPPS payment rates.
They were, however, concerned whether some properly coded claims, which
included both an administration code and a J code or claims that
included an evaluation and management visit in addition to an
administration code and a J code, were eliminated as multiple procedure
claims.
Response: Where an evaluation and management visit and an
administration code and J code were billed on the same claim, they
would have been considered to be a multiple procedure claim and would
not be used because there would be no way of knowing how to allocate
the charges in revenue centers to the visit versus the administration
code. As we explained in detail in the August 9, 2002 proposed rule,
there would be no way to know to what extent charges in revenue
centers, such as sterile supplies, were associated with the visit
versus the administration code. We are concerned about this problem and
are exploring ways to do an allocation of charges that would enable us
to use all multiple procedure claims. However, we were not able to do
it for this final rule.
2. Calendar Year 2002 Charge Data for Transitional Pass-Through Device
Categories
In the August 9, 2002 proposed rule, we discussed our concerns with
the claims data for the devices losing eligible for transitional pass-
through status in CY 2003 (67 FR 52110). We had been advised that
during the period in which the 2001 OPPS was in effect, hospitals may
not have billed properly for devices eligible for transitional pass-
through payments. We acknowledged in the 2002 proposed rule that
changes in billing format and systems for implementation of the OPPS
may have compounded the problems of billing using the device-specific
codes during the first 9 months of the OPPS. We had been informed that
these problems were
[[Page 66745]]
further compounded by the creation and requirement to use category
codes on and after April 1, 2001. In general, we had been advised that
hospitals may have been underpaid for transitional pass-through devices
(because they did not bill separately for them and, therefore, did not
get the pass-through payment) and that our data will not correctly show
the charges associated with the devices (because the devices were not
coded with device-category codes on the claim).
We proposed to package payment for devices into payment for the
procedure in which they were furnished because doing so is consistent
with the concept of a prospective payment system and because we
believed that it would give us the best data on which to pay devices
once they ceased to be paid at cost via the pass-through methodology.
We thought that by packaging the cost of the devices into the cost of
the procedure with which they were used, we would capture the charges
for the devices whether billed in revenue centers or with the HCPCS
code for the device.
Our subsequent review of the data for the period of April 1, 2001,
through March 31, 2002, indicated that there was a notable absence of
hospital billing for devices category codes, even when the procedure
billed could not be done without a pass-through device. We calculated
the median costs for the APCs containing procedures that we believed
required use of devices (including both claims with and claims without
device C codes on the claim) and compared them to the median costs for
the procedures from only claims that were billed with devices. We found
that the median costs on claims billed with devices were more
consistent with the median costs that we would expect to see for these
APCs. Hence, for these APCs, we used the median costs calculated from
claims that reported a device C code in place of the median costs
calculated from all claims (claims billed both with devices and without
device C codes). We did not eliminate claims that did not contain a
device C code where HCPCS codes within an APC indicated that the
procedure did not require a pass-through device. In such cases, HCPCS
codes were, appropriately, rarely reported with C codes. The APCs for
which we used the medians from claims with device C codes billed are
listed in Table 6. This methodology resulted in higher median costs
and, therefore, higher weights for these APCs than would have occurred
had we included claims that did not contain coding for a device. The
medians we used for all APCs are contained in Addendum C, which is on
our Web site at http://www.cms.hhs.gov.

Application of Cost-to-Charge Ratio to Charges Not Resulting in Costs
Comment: Many commenters stated that the application of a
departmental cost-to-charge ratio to the high cost of devices would not
result in the true cost of the device because hospitals would have to
mark up the cost by 300 percent or more for that to be the result.
Response: See the discussion of the comments on cost to charge
ratios and charge compression in section III.B of this final rule.
[[Page 66746]]
Absence of Devices on Claims
Comment: Many commenters indicated that hospitals did not bill for
the devices that were paid under the pass-through mechanism in 2001,
and therefore the median costs for the APCs for which most of the cost
is a device are grossly understated.
Response: As discussed previously, we believe the commenters have a
point. For the APCs for which the service cannot be furnished without a
pass-through device, we eliminated claims that were not billed with a
device C code from the claims used to calculate the median cost for
those APCs. By taking these steps as well as packaging the device cost
billed with both revenue centers and device category codes, we believe
our final rates for these procedures are more appropriate. The APCs for
which we used only claims with devices are identified in Table 6 above.
B. Description of How Weights Were Calculated for CY 2003
As discussed previously in this section, we first selected claims
for services provided from April 1, 2001 through March 31, 2002. The
methodology we followed to calculate the final APC relative payment
weights for CY 2003 is as follows:
[sbull] We excluded from the data claims for those bill and claim
types that would not be paid under the OPPS (for example, bill type 72X
for dialysis services for patients with ESRD).
[sbull] We eliminated 1.6 million claims from hospitals located in
Maryland, Guam, and the U. S. Virgin Islands.
[sbull] Using the most recent available cost report from each
hospital, we converted billed charges to costs and aggregated them to
the procedure or visit level first by identifying the cost-to-charge
ratio specific to each hospital's cost centers (``cost center specific
cost-to-charge ratios'' or CCRs) and then by matching the CCRs to
revenue centers used on the hospital's 2001 outpatient bills. The CCRs
include operating and capital costs but exclude items paid on a
reasonable cost basis.
[sbull] We eliminated from the hospital CCR data 301 hospitals that
we identified as having reported charges on their cost reports, which
were not actual charges (for example, a uniform charge applied to all
services).
[sbull] We calculated the geometric mean of the total operating
CCRs of hospitals remaining in the CCR data. We removed from the CCR
data 67 hospitals whose total operating CCR exceeded the geometric mean
by more than 3 standard deviations.
[sbull] We excluded from our data approximately 3.6 million claims
submitted by the hospitals that we removed or trimmed from the hospital
CCR data.
[sbull] We matched revenue centers from the remaining universe of
approximately 92.9 million claims to CCRs for remaining hospitals.
[sbull] We separated the 92.9 million claims that we had matched
with a cost report into the following three distinct groups:
(1) Single-procedure claims.
(2) Multiple-procedure claims.
(3) Claims on which we could not identify at least one OPPS covered
service.
Single-procedure claims are those that include only one HCPCS code
(other than laboratory and incidentals such as packaged drugs and
venipuncture), which could be grouped to an APC. Multiple-procedure
claims include more than one HCPCS code that could be mapped to an APC.
Dividing the claims in this manner yielded approximately 30.7 million
single-procedure claims and 20.4 million multiple-procedure claims.
Approximately 41.8 million claims without at least one covered OPPS
service were set aside.
We converted 10.8 million multiple-procedure claims to single-
procedure claims using the following criteria:
(1) If a multiple-procedure claim contained lines with a HCPCS code
in the pathology series (that is, CPT 80000 series of codes), we
treated each of those lines as a single claim.
(2) For multiple procedure claims with a packaged HCPCS code
(status indicator ``N'') on the claim, we ignored line items for chest
X-rays (HCPCS codes 71010 and/or 71020) and/or EKGs (HCPCS code 93005)
on these claims. If only one procedure (other than HCPCS codes 71010,
71020, and 93005) existed on the claim, we treated it as a single-
procedure claim.
(3) If the claim had no packaged HCPCS codes and if there were no
packaged revenue centers on the claim, we treated each line with a
procedure as a single claim if the line item was billed as a single
unit.
(4) If the claim had no packaged HCPCS codes on the claim but had
packaged revenue centers for the procedure, we ignored the line item
for chest X-rays and/or EKG codes (as identified above) and if only one
HCPCS code remained, we treated the claim as a single procedure claim.
We created an additional 31.5 million single-procedure bills through
this process, which enabled us to use these data from multiple-
procedure claims in calculation of the APC relative payment weights.
[sbull] To calculate median costs for services within an APC, we
used only single-procedure bills and those multiple procedure bills
that we converted into single claims. If a claim had a single code with
a zero charge (that would have been considered a single-procedure
claim), we did not use it. As we discussed in section III.A.1 of this
final rule, we did not use multiple-procedure claims that included more
than one separately payable HCPCS code with charges for packaged items
and services such as anesthesia, recovery room, or supplies that could
not be reliably allocated or apportioned among the primary HCPCS codes
on the claim. We have not yet developed what we regard as an acceptable
method of using other multiple-procedure bills to recalibrate APC
weights that minimizes the risk of improperly assigning charges to the
wrong procedure or visit.
[sbull] For each single-procedure claim, we calculated a cost for
every billed line item charge by multiplying each revenue center charge
by the appropriate hospital-specific departmental CCR. If an
appropriate cost center did not exist for a given hospital, we
crosswalked the revenue center to a secondary cost center when
possible, or we used the hospital's overall cost-to-charge ratio for
outpatient department services. We excluded from this calculation all
charges associated with HCPCS codes previously defined as not paid
under the OPPS (for example, laboratory, ambulance, and therapy
services). We included all charges associated with HCPCS codes that are
designated as packaged services (that is, HCPCS codes with the status
indicator of ``N'').
[sbull] To calculate per-service costs, we used the charges shown
in revenue centers that contained items integral to performing the
service. We observed the packaging provisions set forth in the April 7,
2000 final rule with comment period that were in effect during 2001 (65
FR 18484). For instance, in calculating the cost of a surgical
procedure, we included charges for the operating room; treatment rooms;
recovery; observation; medical and surgical supplies; pharmacy;
anesthesia; casts and splints; and donor tissue, bone, and organs. To
determine medical visit costs, we included charges for items such as
medical and surgical supplies, drugs, and observation in those
instances where they are still packaged. Table 7 lists packaged
services by revenue center that we proposed to use to calculate per-
service
[[Page 66747]]
costs for outpatient services furnished in CY 2003.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
[sbull] We standardized costs for geographic wage variation by
dividing the labor-related portion of the operating and capital costs
for each billed item by the FY 2003 hospital inpatient prospective
payment system (IPPS) wage index published in the Federal Register on
August 1, 2002 (67 FR 49982). We used 60 percent to represent our
estimate of that portion of costs attributable, on average, to labor.
We have used this estimate since the inception of the OPPS and continue
to believe that it is appropriate. (See the April 7, 2000 final rule
(65 FR 18496) for a complete description of how we derived this
percentage).
[sbull] We summed the standardized labor-related cost and the
nonlabor-related cost component for each billed item to derive the
total standardized cost for each procedure or medical visit.
[sbull] We removed extremely unusual costs that appeared to be
errors in the data using a trimming methodology analogous to what we
use in calculating the diagnosis-related group (DRG) weights for the
hospital IPPS. That is, we eliminated any bills with costs outside of
three standard deviations from the geometric mean.
[sbull] After trimming the procedure and visit level costs, we
mapped each procedure or visit cost to its assigned APC, including the
proposed APC changes described in section II.A of this final rule.
[sbull] We calculated the median cost for each APC by using the
claims for services included in the APC. In the case of APCs for which
we eliminated the claims that did not contain device
[[Page 66749]]
C codes, we used only the claims that contained device codes to set the
median cost for the APC. See section III.A.2 of this final rule for a
complete discussion of why we used the device code medians for these
codes (which are identified in Table 6).
[sbull] Using these median APC costs, we calculated the relative
payment weights for each APC. As in prior years, we scaled all the
relative payment weights to APC 0601, mid-level clinic visit, because
it is one of the most frequently performed services in the hospital
outpatient setting. This approach is consistent with that used in
developing RVUs for the Medicare physician fee schedule. We assigned
APC 0601 a relative payment weight of 1.00 and divided the median cost
for each APC by the median cost for APC 0601 to derive the relative
payment weight for each APC. Using the 2001 through 2002 data, the
median cost for APC 0601 is $57.56.
Section 1833(t)(9)(B) of the Act requires that APC reclassification
and recalibration changes and wage index changes be made in a manner
that ensures that aggregate payments under the OPPS for 2003 are
neither greater than nor less than, the aggregate payments that would
have been made without the changes. To comply with this requirement
concerning the APC changes, we compared aggregate payments using the CY
2002 relative weights to aggregate payments using the CY 2003 final
weights. Based on this comparison, in this final rule, we are making an
adjustment of .969 to the weights. The final weights for CY 2003, which
incorporate the recalibration adjustments explained in this section,
are listed in Addendum A and Addendum B of this final rule with comment
period. The final weights are rounded to 4 decimals for greater
precision.
We received many comments on the issues related to calculation of
the OPPS payment weights, which we summarize and address below:
Changes in Payment Rates from 2002 to 2003
Comment: We received many comments expressing concern with the
amount of decreases in payments for many services, in particular those
that will include drugs and devices that will cease to be eligible for
pass-through payment in 2003. Many commenters said that the costs for
drugs and devices derived from claims data, on which we based weights
for these APCs, were considerably below the acquisition price hospitals
pay for the drugs and devices. Many commenters said that the proposed
payments would result in hospitals ceasing to provide services that
require expensive devices and drugs because they could no longer afford
to furnish them under the proposed rates.
Response: We are concerned that our payments not compromise access
of Medicare beneficiaries to high quality services involving new
technologies. Accordingly, we have adopted a number of changes in our
estimating procedures, as described in more detail below and elsewhere
in this final rule, designed to better ensure that the payment rates we
establish in this rule are as accurate and reasonable as possible.
Comment: Many commenters, in particular hospital organizations,
supported the significant increases in payments for primary care and
preventive services that were proposed. They strongly stated that we
should rely only on Medicare claims data to ensure that these services
would not be reduced in payment by increases to payments for device and
drug related services, as happened in 2002 when external price data
were used in the absence of Medicare claims data. They noted that the
services that received increases in payments using 2001 claims data are
furnished by all hospitals and that rural hospitals and small urban
hospitals in particular are heavily dependent on adequate payment for
these services to be able to continue to offer services to Medicare
patients in their communities.
Response: We also are concerned that our payments not compromise
access of Medicare beneficiaries to high quality services that may not
involve new technologies; these services in fact represent the bulk of
services in all hospitals. Accordingly, we have been mindful that
increases in the payment on some services will result in decreases in
others.
Comment: Many commenters shared with us data from various sources
outside our claims data (for example, manufacturers' prices, prices
reported by group purchasing organizations, and amounts from invoices
as proof of acquisition price). Many of these commenters suggested we
use these data as a substitute for or supplement to claims data for
particular APCs or where particular drugs or devices are used.
Response: We appreciate the data that these commenters provided to
us. We carefully reviewed all the data that were furnished to us and
used the data to guide us in analysis of claims data and in making
decisions regarding how to generate the final payment weights.
We note that the OPPS is not designed to pay hospitals their full
accounting costs for delivery of particular services. The system was
set up to be budget neutral to the prior system, which, under several
provisions of the statute, paid approximately 82 percent of reported
hospital outpatient department costs as shown on the cost reports.
Payment rates for individual services are set, in essence, to reflect
relative resource use within a payment system that pays at what was a
discount of approximately 18 percent. Thus, for us to make changes to
ensure that a particular service receives what observers believe is its
``full'' cost is difficult, partly because determination of ``full''
cost for a particular service is an uncertain exercise and partly
because such a service could only be paid ``full'' cost at the expense
of all other services, which in principle would be paid at an even
greater discount than that already implied by the operation of the
system. Accordingly, while we have used data from external sources to
evaluate the reasonableness of our payment rates and to guide us in
choice of methods that would achieve results as reasonable as possible,
we have not directly substituted such data into our estimates.
Comment: Many commenters suggested that we use only claims on which
pass-through devices had been coded to set medians for APCs containing
procedures that required devices to be furnished.
Response: We agree that this suggestion presents a useful way to
edit our data, and adopted it in calculating the rates presented in
this rule. We calculated medians from our most current set of claims
data using all claims, (that is, using claims with no device C code,
and using claims with device C code) and compared the medians. We found
that, in many APCs because the procedures require use of a pass-through
device, the medians that resulted from using any claims on which device
C codes were billed were more similar to the device and procedure costs
provided by external data than were the medians calculated using all
claims. For these APCs, shown in Table 6, we used the median calculated
using only claims on which a device had been coded.
Comment: Many of the commenters asked that we adjust the weights so
that no service, or at least no service for which a commenter had
objected to a decrease, would receive a decrease in payment of more
than 10 percent from 2002 to 2003.
Response: We agree that the substantial fall in payment rates for
some APCs suggests the need for some approach to moderate the changes.
[[Page 66750]]
Many of these decreases appear to be linked to one or more of the
following:
[sbull] Changes in the payment methodology for those drugs and
devices that will no longer be eligible for pass-through payments,
[sbull] Miscoding,
[sbull] Restructuring of APCs (in which movement of a single code
from one APC to another may change the median cost of both APCs), or
[sbull] Use of data from the period following implementation of the
OPPS.
In the interest of using a method that could be employed simply and
that could ensure that all APCs were treated similarly regardless of
whether interested parties had identified them as sources of concern,
we adopted a method that we applied to all APCs except new technology
APCs, and APCs for drugs and devices that will receive pass-through
payments in 2003.
We considered a number of different ways of moderating the
reductions in payment that would have occurred under the August 9, 2002
proposed rule. We considered options that would have limited both
significant increases and significant decreases in some fashion.
However, we rejected these options because they would have reduced
payments for those services that would otherwise have significant
increases. Inspection of APCs that would have significant increases
suggested that many of these increases were reasonable, and we did not
want to reduce them more than necessary.
We considered options that would have created a fixed corridor that
would have limited any reduction to some fixed value, such as 10 or 15
percent, as suggested by some commenters. However, we rejected this
option, because it would have reduced the role of the claims data to a
minimum, even though these data do reflect hospital charging behavior
and are likely to have some degree of accuracy. In addition, setting an
absolute floor on reductions would have shifted significant resources
away from all other APCs.
We considered targeting those APCs that would experience a
reduction in median costs beyond a threshold and limiting the reduction
in median costs to half of the difference between the threshold level
and the total reduction. Because of budget neutrality constraints, the
costs of this approach must be met by reductions in other services. We
concluded that setting a threshold at a 15 percent reduction and
decreasing the reduction in median costs by half of the difference
between the total proposed reduction and the threshold provided an
appropriate balance, reflecting our assessment of the relative quality
of claims data, other information from commenters, and the effects on
services overall.
Thus, we adopt the following procedure. For any APC where the
median cost would have fallen by 15 percent or more from between 2002
to 2003 from the values that would be otherwise applicable for 2003,
after the data and method improvements noted above, we first decreased
the reduction in median cost by one half of the difference between the
value derived from the claims data and 15 percent. This methodology was
applied to all APCs, not just those involving drugs or devices losing
pass-through eligibility. We then assessed the results of this
procedure with information from comments and concluded that several
additional but more targeted steps were appropriate.
We examined further those APCs containing procedures involving
devices where the device represented a very large portion of the
overall costs. Noting that the overall reduction from cost discussed
elsewhere in this section would mean that services where devices
represented 80 percent or more of the total costs would leave virtually
no margin to cover hospital costs in performing the procedure, we
limited our attention to those APCs with device costs of 80 percent of
more. We then calculated adjusted APC median costs for these APCs by
determining the portion of the cost that was attributable to the
procedure and summing it with a weighted average of the cost of the
device. We determined the weighted average of the cost of the device by
giving a weight of 3 to the median acquisition cost of the device as
provided by external data and a weight of 1 to the median cost from our
claims data. We then added the adjusted cost of the device to the
unadjusted cost of the procedure to calculate the total cost of the
procedure. Our dampening policy was then applied to the adjusted total
cost of the procedure.
We believe that this process gave us credible adjusted medians for
APCs 107, 108, 222 and 259. We gave external acquisition cost data a
weight 3 times that of the adjusted claims median data because these
APCs are disproportionately highly weighted with device costs and we
recognize that our device data have weaknesses that would otherwise
result in payments that are so low as to limit beneficiary access to
these services.
We also examined further those APCs involving blood and blood
products, and vaccines. Information from comments raised significant
concerns about the payment reductions that would result, even after
improvements in data and methods and the adjustments described above
were applied, on blood and certain blood products (including
antihemophilia factors). Considering the importance of these products
to ongoing operation of hospitals, the short shelf life of many of
them, other peculiarities of their distribution, and possible adverse
effects on public health, we concluded that these products should be
further protected from decreases. Accordingly, we limited the reduction
in the median cost from 2002 to 2003 for these products to 11 percent,
which resulted in limiting the reduction in payment from 2002 to 2003
to about 15 percent. We did this for the APCs listed in Table 8.
We also adopted specific changes relating to vaccines and certain
orphan drugs, as described elsewhere in this final rule.
We created unscaled weights for all APCs by dividing the adjusted
medians by the median cost for APC 601 (mid level visit). We then
scaled the weights for budget neutrality. The budget neutrality scaler
that we applied to the weights was .968969.

Comment: Many commenters, while indicating appreciation for our
efforts to use data from multiple claims in determining relative
weights as described in the August 9, 2002 proposed rule, believe that
we have not done enough. Although we have significantly increased the
number and proportion of claims that enter the calculation for relative
weights, commenters asserted that, in particular, clinical areas, our
mobility to draw on multiple claims distorts the relative weights
assigned to services, because in normal circumstances certain services
would always be performed with other particular services. If packaged
services also appear on such claims, the claims would not be used in
our current methodology, and relative weight calculations may not be as
accurate as desired as a result. These commenters urged us to do more
to include data from multiple claims.
Response: We appreciate the recognition of the methodological
improvements that we have been able to accomplish this year. Although
intend to continue the gains achieved for 2003, the development of
appropriate methods is difficult. Further methodological development
may be very detailed and involve clinical review of particular areas of
services. We have been unable to develop any further methodological
changes at present, so for 2003, we are adopting the same methods we
proposed. We wish to develop further methods of allocation that will
permit use of more multiple claims in the future, particularly in
problem areas identified by commenters, and we hope to be able to make
further progress in this area in time for the 2004 update.
Comment: Several commenters raised questions about our editing
procedures relating to which claims were used in analysis. On one hand,
some questioned whether our standard method of trimming claims with
values over three standard deviations above the median was appropriate,
or whether it might leave out reasonable claims involving newly
disseminating, high cost technologies. Other commenters suggested that
we edit the claims more restrictively, removing from analysis claims
with values outside a clinically relevant range (of drug dosages, for
instance).
Response: While we think the suggestions made by these commenters
deserve further consideration, we have made no changes in developing
the estimates for the final rule. Our procedure for trimming claims
with values above three standard deviations, an exceedingly small
proportion of claims, is a standard procedure we use in estimates for
several payment systems. This procedure prevents undue influence on the
estimates by claims that have a high probability of coding errors, and
we have no particular indication that this procedure is inappropriately
applied in this system. Establishing clinically relevant ranges would
be difficult. The most obvious method would involve establishment of
norms of particular services based on the judgment of clinicians, but
these judgments might not be validated by actual experience in the
field. We would have to develop this idea more thoroughly before
adopting it. Accordingly, for 2003 we are using the trimming and
editing procedures rules described in the August 9, 2002 proposed rule.
Comment: Several commenters noted that hospital coding appeared to
improve over the course of 2001, based on quarter-by-quarter
examination of claims data.
Response: We agree that hospital coding practices appear to have
improved during the early months of the implementation of the OPPS.
Because accurate coding now has definite implications for payment that
it lacked in the past, this change was expected and comports with our
experience in implementing other payment systems. To improve the
quality of estimates for this final rule, we changed the reference
period of the data used for the final rule by one quarter. The August
9, 2002 proposed rule was based on data from calendar year 2001; for
the final rule, we dropped data from the first quarter of 2001 and
added data from the first quarter of 2002. We were thus able to draw on
data from a more recent period
[[Page 66752]]
while maintaining approximately the same number of claims for analysis.
This change was possible in this instance because the implementation of
the 2002 update on April 1, 2002 meant that the coding during the first
quarter of calendar year 2002 was unchanged from the prior year. We
believe that this change has improved the quality of our estimates.
Comment: Commenters asked a number of very detailed questions about
our data and methods of calculation.
Response: Within a few weeks of the publication of this rule, we
expect to invite interested parties to a meeting at our headquarters in
Baltimore to discuss these and other questions regarding methods and
estimates with our technical staff.
Use of Cost-to-Charge Ratios and Charge Compression
Comment: A number of commenters raised concerns about our use of
cost-to-charge ratios in determining median costs of items and
services. Of particular concern is the effect of our procedure on the
costs we calculate for high-cost drugs and devices. These commenters
asserted that hospitals markup their acquisition costs of drugs and
devices by different percentages depending on the cost of the item. If
so, application of cost-to-charge ratios that do not take this effect
into account would result in a relative weight (and hence payment) for
a high-cost item that was inappropriately low. Commenters asserted that
differential mark-up behavior, sometimes referred to as ``charge
compression,'' is common among hospitals, at least on purchased inputs
such as implantable devices.
To illustrate, assume cost-to-charge ratios are about generally 50
percent. That would imply that an item that cost, for example, $100,
would be marked up by 100 percent to $200. ($100/$200 = .5) If the
hospital decided to mark up the cost of a high cost item by only 50
percent, the charge for an item that cost $1,000 would be $1,500, and
the cost-to-charge ratio would be 67 percent. ($1,000/$1,500 = .67) On
the other hand, the hospital might choose to mark up a low cost item by
150 percent: The charge for an item that cost $10 would be $25, and the
cost-to-charge ratio would be 40 percent ($10/$25 = .4).
Commenters did not provide any useful empirical information on
issues such as those above. One commenter presented results of a
statistical analysis of the relation of average wholesale price (AWP)
of some drugs to our proposed payments, but we do not know if average
wholesale prices vary uniformly in proportion to the acquisition costs
of hospitals and consequently do not find this analysis particularly
informative.
Response: We calculate OPPS payment rates based on the charges made
by the hospitals on OPD claims, reduced to costs by application of a
cost-to-charge ratio that is either specific to each of the various
departments of each hospital or, in cases where data are inadequate, to
the individual hospital as a whole. Costs are not available on a
service-specific basis, but are reported on each hospital's cost report
by revenue center, which can in turn be grouped by department. Thus,
the service-specific amount claimed is multiplied by the departmental
cost-to-charge ratio to convert it into a measure of the cost on a
service-specific basis. We then use these costs to adjust the relative
weights for the various APCs as part of the annual update process.
In making this calculation, we are assuming that the ratio of cost
to charges is constant across all services to which it is applied. This
assumption has proved workable in the inpatient setting for almost 20
years. The calculations may not perfectly capture the costs identified
for particular services, but as long as we use them in a set of
relative calculations, any deviations should largely cancel out.
However, if hospitals do not mark-up services in a uniform fashion
within departments, the payment rates resulting from application of
this assumption would be too low for some services (and too high for
others), and the rates would create incentives for hospitals to avoid
(or favor) particular services.
This postulated behavior of hospitals is not implausible, as they
may attempt to avoid adverse reactions to high prices among consumers
and to reduce coinsurance burden on high cost items used infrequently.
However, the possibility of differential mark-up behavior is not well
documented empirically. We do not know if differential mark-ups are
common across many hospitals or across many services. Further, we do
not know the size of any differential that may exist. Do hospitals
apply differential mark-ups to all services or only to certain
purchased inputs? Do they apply differential mark-ups only above some
threshold (such as $1,000), or does the mark-up vary in some uniform
fashion with the cost of the service?
In the face of the paucity of reliable empirical information on
this issue, we find that we cannot move quickly to revise our current
methodology. We are adopting our proposed methodology for calculating
cost-to-charge ratios for 2003. We believe this issue merits further
study, and we expect to address it further in the future.
Use of Means Rather Than Medians To Set Weights
Comment: Some commenters suggested that CMS use means rather than
medians to set rates because means will result in higher values for
device-related APCs than using medians. Some commenters noted that
means are a better measure of central tendency because medians are so
sensitive to the atypical distribution of new technology services
within an APC. Some commenters recommended that if we use medians, we
should revise the data set by deleting claims for services that require
a device if the device was not billed.
Response: We will explore the possibility and potential impact of
using means rather than medians for the 2004 OPPS. We lacked the
resources and time to explore the impact of this change for the final
rule with comment. However, since the purpose of these measures is to
create relative payment weights, it does not necessarily follow that
basing the relative weights of services on means will cause a change to
the weights in a manner that would satisfy the commenter. We did,
however, revise the data set by deleting claims for procedures that
required a device if the device was not billed.
Collect at Least 3 Years' Data for Pass-Through Devices Before Setting
Rates Based on Claims Data
Comment: Commenters recommended that we not use claims data to set
weights for pass-through devices unless they have at least 3 years of
claims data for the device. They argued that this was the minimum
amount of time needed to allow stability in the hospitals' coding and
charges for the items.
Response: We cannot ensure that we will wait for 3 years to pass
before we will set payments based on data for new devices. The statute
provides for no less than 2 years and no more than 3 years payment
under pass-through for items that do not fit a previously existing
device category. Hence, in most cases, items will not have received 3
years of transitional pass-through payment before they are priced based
on costs. Moreover, many new devices do not receive pass-through status
because they fit in a category that previously met the criteria and,
once pass-through payment is no longer permitted for the category,
these devices will be paid through payment for the procedure in which
they are used from their first use.
In general, the statute requires us to use costs as the basis for
the weights.
[[Page 66753]]
Claims data are the single national uniform basis of cost data for all
OPD items and services. Other data sources are fragmented and are not
national in scope, and may be biased in various ways. We believe that 2
years provides a sufficient time for hospitals to establish coding
practices and to determine what charges to impose for items and
services paid under the OPPS and that this will be even more true in
the future as hospital coders and billers become more accustomed to
HCPCS coding and the impact of charges on future payments.
Continue 2002 Weights for 2003 and Train Hospital Staff Coders and
Billers Because Claims Data Are Flawed
Comment: Some commenters asserted that Medicare 2001 claims data
are so badly flawed that the weights should be left untouched for 2003.
They requested that we should initiate training of hospital staff
billers and coders to ensure that future data accurately reflect the
codes of the services furnished and that the charges accurately reflect
the costs of drugs and devices.
Response: We have decided to revise the weights for 2003 based on
the best available information. We believe that the adjustments and
moderations we have made to the median costs for the services that
would have been most adversely affected under the methodology used in
the August 9, 2002 proposed rule have enabled us to establish a valid
set of relative weights for the 2003 OPPS. This comports with the
requirement of section 1833(t)(9)(A) of the Act that we review and
revise the relative weights annually to take into account new cost data
and other relevant information, and factors. Regarding training of
hospital staff, we have greatly expanded our efforts to assist
providers in complying with all Medicare rules, including creation of
the Medlearn Web site, issuance of specialized articles and provider
seminars. However, the fundamental responsibility for correct coding
and billing for services lies with the hospitals who are paid under the
OPPS system and who have every incentive to bill correctly to ensure
that they are paid for all the services they furnish to Medicare
beneficiaries.
Release of Crosswalk for Packaging Costs to Specific APCs
Comment: Some commenters asked that we release the crosswalk used
to assign pass-through device costs to specific APCs. They indicated
that without this crosswalk, they are unable to make specific comments
and they urged the Congress to fund an additional activity to correct
APCs they determine to be severely underfunded after they perform this
analysis.
Response: There is no CMS-generated crosswalk that was used to
assign pass-through device costs to APCs. We relied upon the coding of
hospitals in their packaging of devices, drugs, and other items and
services into the payment for the procedure in which they were used. We
will make a public use file available that containing the claims data
used to set the final payment weights. By examination of these data,
interested parties can determine what was packaged into the medians for
the APCs. While we recognize that the claims may contain errors, we
believe that the probability of making errors in crosswalking services
to procedures is reduced by accepting what providers bill as the items
and services furnished with the procedure.
Impact of Medical Education on OPPS Payment Adequacy
Comment: Several commenters noted that payment under OPPS does not
take into account the time and cost components associated with
providing teaching services in teaching hospitals and thereby puts
teaching hospitals at a disadvantage. Moreover, teaching hospitals are
typically on the cutting edge of development and implementation of new
innovations, technological and otherwise and would therefore be
underpaid by the low payments proposed for APCs that use expensive
devices. The commenters asked that Medicare provide an indirect medical
education (IME) payment percentage add-on for all outpatient APCs
similar to the IME factor used to adjust DRG payments for inpatient
services.
Response: We have not developed an IME add-on for payments made
under the OPPS because the statute does not provide for this
adjustment, and we are not unconvinced that it would be appropriate in
a budget-neutral system in which such changes would result in reduced
payments to all other hospitals. Moreover, in the final rule, we have
developed payment weights that we believe resolve many of the issues
with payments for devices for which payment is packaged into the
payment for the procedure in which the device is used. These and other
payment changes should help ensure equitable payment for all hospitals
as provided within the constraints of the statute.
Elimination of Payment for Cochlear Implants and Vagus Nerve
Stimulators
Comments: A number of commenters objected to what they believed was
a proposal to eliminate payment for cochlear implants and vagus nerve
stimulators. Those who had the implant indicated that these devices had
greatly improved their lives, or others who were expected to have the
device implanted objected to what they believed was a proposal to no
longer pay for them.
Response: We did not propose to cease payment for these devices
under Medicare or to cease payment for services needed to implant them.
We did propose payment amounts for 2003, and, in this final rule, we
provide the payment rates that will determine payments under the OPPS
in 2003. The establishment of payment amounts does not constitute a
Medicare determination that these items and services are or are not
covered in any particular case.
Underfunding of OPPS in General
Comment: Some commenters stated that OPPS was severely underfunded
when it was established and it will never result in adequate payment of
costs under its current budget neutrality requirements. They asked that
we support their efforts to seek increased funding for outpatient
services since hospital care is increasingly furnished in the
outpatient setting and because continued absence of adequate funding
will result in reduced access to services. Some commenters indicated
that since the budget neutrality scaler is determined on the basis of
estimates, we have considerable latitude to ensure that payments are as
close to costs as possible, notwithstanding that the base was set at 82
percent of cost when the system was established.
Response: We do not believe that the OPPS system is severely
underfunded, nor do we believe that the statute gives us flexibility in
the determination of budget neutrality. Congress set the OPPS system to
be budget neutral to the total payments under prior payment methods;
those methods, as result of several statutory provisions dating back to
FY 1990 and FY 1991, paid for hospital outpatient department services
at approximately 82 percent of costs. We understand that observers at
the time believed that hospitals had shifted accounting costs that
might otherwise have been attributed to inpatient cost centers to the
outpatient setting because the inpatient PPS limited hospital payment
on the inpatient side while the outpatient side was not similarly
constrained. Congress had thus reduced payments for outpatient
department services below nominal costs, and the OPPS was set to be
budget neutral relative to total payments under the prior system.
Whether this situation
[[Page 66754]]
implies that hospital outpatient departments are underfunded under the
OPPS is hard to judge.
With respect to budget neutrality, section 1833(t)(9)(B) of the Act
makes clear that any adjustments to the OPPS made by the Secretary may
not cause estimated expenditures to increase or decrease. We do not
believe the statute provides us authority to depart from budget
neutrality simply because it uses the word ``estimated.''
Data Issues Peculiar to Radiopharmaceuticals
Comment: Commenters stated various reasons why it would be
inappropriate to use the 2001 claims data to calculate the median cost
of radiopharmaceuticals. They claimed that additional costs unique to
radiopharmaceuticals, such as overhead costs for nuclear pharmacies and
safety/regulatory costs, were not reported in the 2001 claims. Also,
they believe not all hospitals billed for their costs, particularly
costs for overhead items, to the appropriate revenue codes. Therefore,
they argue this misallocation of charges resulted in an underestimate
of the cost-to-charge ratios that were used to set the payment rates.
The low volume of claims for radiopharmaceuticals in the 2001 dataset
may be attributed to the use of HCPCS A4641, which many hospitals used
for radiopharmaceutical billing, instead of more specific coding. Also,
they suggested that we did not receive reliable reporting data from the
hospitals because of significant descriptor and payment rate changes in
2001. Thus, they recommended that we not implement the proposed changes
until more accurate data on hospital costs could be collected.
Response: As discussed elsewhere in this section, we believe that
we have satisfactorily resolved the data issues in the claims data for
2001 to enable us to create an appropriate set of relative weights for
OPPS services for 2003. We find no justification for delaying the
update of the 2003 OPPS. Moreover, we see nothing unique in the issues
raised in the context of data for radiopharmaceuticals. As with other
services, the costs in revenue centers and for A4641 were packaged into
the procedure with which the items were billed. Similarly, we do not
believe that the problem with multiple procedure claims is more of a
problem for radiopharmaceuticals than for other services that are
commonly provided in combinations. Lastly, there were significant
descriptor and payment rate changes for all services paid under OPPS in
2001, and the extent of the changes for radiopharmaceuticals did not
differ significantly from the extent of changes for other items and
services.
Methodological Reasons That the Data for Drugs Are Flawed
Comment: Many commenters asserted that there are significant
methodological problems in the 2001 claims data for drugs and
biologicals, especially the high cost items. They said that the 2001
claims data do not reflect appropriate codes and charges for separately
paid drugs and biologicals and that the proposed payment rate does not
take into account additional pharmacy overhead costs. They indicated
that when we process a claim, we reject the second and subsequent line
if it is identical to a previously billed line as a duplicate claim and
that, therefore, the subsequent lines are not included in the claims
data. They maintained that the methodology of analyzing single line-
items on drug claims is not consistent with how hospitals bill for
particular drugs and biologicals. They stated that claims reported by
hospitals for certain drugs and biologicals showed unit amounts that
fell outside a therapeutic range and therefore should have been
excluded from the body of claims used to set the rates. They said that
many drugs and biologicals have a low HCPCS code dose that skews the
computation of the relative weights, and thus the payment rates for
these products.
Response: We recognize that not all hospitals billed properly for
drugs and biologicals in 2001. However, since most payment for drugs
and biologicals was made on a pass-through basis at 95 percent of AWP
in 2001, hospitals had a significant incentive to bill properly and we
believe that in most cases they billed properly for the services they
furnished so as to receive payment for them. We recognize that if a
claim was submitted in a manner that caused it to be rejected by
duplicate claims edits, it would not appear in the data. However, we
expect that in those cases, hospitals would submit an adjustment bill
to secure payment for the full service and that the costs for the drugs
or biologicals as shown in the adjustment bill would be reflected in
the data. We also recognize that some claims reflect that the drugs
were furnished in amounts that were outside of therapeutic ranges.
However, we have no reason to believe that those claims do not
represent what actually was furnished to the patient. Should a
physician deviate from standard therapeutic ranges in particular a
case, it is reasonable to expect the claim to reflect what was
administered. With regard to the low dose of the HCPCS code, the
payment is set based on the definition of the code and so to the extent
that the drug or biological is correctly coded on the claim, the claims
data would reflect the cost of the drug or biological.
Elimination of Data for Hospitals Without Actual Charges
Comment: Several commenters raised concerns regarding the
elimination of about 3 million claims from 301 hospitals because their
reported charges were not actual charges. The commenters requested the
following information from us on the effect of eliminating these
claims: Did the elimination of this information create more bias
against higher cost drugs and biologicals? Were the claims from certain
specialty hospitals?
Response: There is no way for us to determine what effect would
have taken place if these hospitals had reported charges as other
hospitals did. However, because we know that the reported charges for
these hospitals are not actual charges, we know that the information
provided by these hospitals is meaningless for the purpose of
calculating payment rates under OPPS.
Impact of Rounding of Relative Weights for Drugs
Comment: Commenters stated that the rounding of relative weights
down to only two decimal places causes a significant reduction in
payment. For example, rounding a unit down to a relative weight of 0.01
from a greater amount (for example, 0.01433) can substantially decrease
the payment amount of a therapeutic dose.
Response: We rounded relative weights to 4 decimal places in the
final rule.
Comment: A commenter indicated that we included data from the 11
PPS-exempt cancer hospitals that should have been excluded from the
rate-setting calculations.
Response: We disagree with the commenter's concern. According to 42
CFR 412.23(f), cancer hospitals that meet specific criteria are
excluded from the inpatient PPS; however, these hospitals are not
excluded from OPPS. Rather, under OPPS, cancer hospitals are held
harmless. The hold harmless provision is set forth in our existing
regulations at 42 CFR 419.70(d)(2). Therefore, we do not exclude claims
for services furnished in these hospitals in our rate setting
calculations.
Need for a Special Exceptions Process
Comment: Some commenters said that CMS should have a process by
which hospitals should be able to submit special documentation to
indicate that
[[Page 66755]]
unusual conditions exist and be paid an additional amount set by the
contractor for the unusual conditions or costs that the hospital is
incurring. They suggested this as a means of being assured of recouping
costs where the APC payment would not otherwise reimbursement for full
costs.
Response: We did not accept the comment because the OPPS already
has an outlier system that provides for an additional payment when
costs are incurred that meet the outlier criteria.
Claims Process
Comment: One commenter said that the implementation of OPPS was
extremely daunting to providers because it was so different from prior
billing and coding for these services and because CMS processes and
rules changed so frequently. They indicated that software vendors often
lagged behind CMS requirements and that errors in either provider
billing or intermediary processing often required a hospital to detect
a problem and resubmit claims. Moreover, the volume of claims can cause
a small problem to become a large problem in very little time. They ask
that CMS do whatever it can to simplify the processes they must
undertake to achieve submission of a ``clean'' claim.
Response: We recognize that implementation of CMS was difficult for
providers and we have tried to do all that we can to simplify billing
and payment rules and to respond to problems as they arise. Most
recently, the hospital open door forum calls have provided a means for
hospitals to bring problems to the attention of the CMS staff as
quickly as possible so that they can be resolved.
Reduced Quality of Care for Gamma Knife Services
Comment: A commenter said that reducing payment for hospital
services for G0242 will force hospitals to reduce the hours of work for
medical physicists in the hospital and will therefore decrease quality
by increasing the opportunity for errors in the calculations that must
be done before treatment.
Response: We believe that hospitals would not jeopardize themselves
by decreasing the extent to which they ensure that errors are not made.
We are finalizing our rate methodology for PHP, including data from
hospital outpatient and CMHC programs. The national unadjusted rate for
CY 2003 will be $240.03, of which $48.17 is the beneficiary's national
unadjusted coinsurance. Upon further review we have determined that we
will not include the issue of separate billing for clinical social
worker services provided to PHP patients in this final rule but will
address it in future rulemaking.
IV. Transitional Pass-Through and Related Payment Issues
A. Background
Section 1833(t)(6) of the Act provides for temporary additional
payments or ``transitional pass-through payments'' for certain medical
devices, drugs, and biologicals.
For those drugs, biologicals, and devices referred to as
``current,'' the transitional pass-through payment began on the first
date the hospital OPPS was implemented (before enactment of the
Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection Act
(BIPA), Public Law 106-554, enacted December 21, 2000).
Transitional pass-through payments are also required for certain
``new'' medical devices, drugs, and biological agents that could not be
described as current, that were not being paid for as a hospital
outpatient service as of December 31, 1996 and whose cost is ``not
insignificant'' in relation to the OPPS payment for the procedures or
services associated with the new device, drug, or biological. Under the
statute, transitional pass-through payments are to be made for at least
2 years but not more than 3 years.
Section 1833(t)(6)(B)(i) of the Act required that we establish, by
April 1, 2001, initial categories to be used for purposes of
determining which medical devices are eligible for transitional pass-
through payments. Section 1833(t)(6)(B)(i)(II) of the Act explicitly
authorized us to establish initial categories by program memorandum. On
March 22, 2001, we issued two Program Memoranda, Transmittals A-01-40
and A-01-41 that established the initial categories. We posted them on
our Web site at http://cms.hhs.gov.
Transmittal A-01-41 includes a list of the initial device
categories and a crosswalk of all the item-specific codes for
individual devices that were approved for transitional pass-through
payments as of January 21, 2001 to the initial category code by which
the device is to be billed beginning April 1, 2001. Items eligible for
transitional pass-through payments are generally coded using a Level II
HCPCS code with an alpha prefix of ``C.'' Pass-through device
categories are identified by status indicator ``H'' and pass-through
drugs and biologicals are identified by status indicator ``G.''
Subsequently, we added two additional categories and made
clarifications to some of the categories' long descriptors found in
transmittal A-01-73. A current list of device category codes in effect
as of July 1, 2002 can be found in Transmittal A-02-050, which was
issued on June 17, 2002. This Program Memorandum can be accessed on our
Web site at http://cms.hhs.gov. The list is also included in this
preamble in Table 7.
Section 1833(t)(6)(B)(ii) of the Act also requires us to establish,
through rulemaking, criteria that will be used to create additional
device categories. The criteria for new categories are the subject of a
separate interim final rule with comment period that we published in
the Federal Register on November 2, 2001 (66 FR 55850). We respond to
public comments on that interim final rule in this final rule with
comment that implements the 2003 OPPS update.
Transitional pass-through categories are for devices only; they do
not apply to drugs or biologicals. The regulations at Sec. 419.64
governing transitional pass-through payments for eligible drugs and
biologicals are unaffected by the creation of categories.
The processes to apply for transitional pass-through payment for
eligible drugs and biological agents or for additional device
categories can be found on respective pages on our Web site at http://cms.hhs.gov. If we revise the application instructions in any way, we
will post the revisions on our Web site and submit the changes for
approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Notification of new drug, biological, or
device category application processes are generally posted on the OPPS
Web site at http://cms.hhs.gov/Medicare/hopps/default.asp.
As we indicated in the NPRM (67FR52130), Determining that a drug or
biological is eligible for a pass-through payment or making a decision
to pay a drug or biological on a separate APC basis (rather than
packaging payment into payment for a procedure) does not represent a
determination that the drug or biological is covered by the Medicare
program.
CMS and its contractors make coverage determinations and the FDA
makes premarket approval decisions under different statutory standards.
Whereas the FDA must determine that a product is safe and effective as
a condition of approval, CMS must determine that the product is
reasonable and necessary as a condition of coverage under section
1862(a)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act. Under a premarket approval
review, the FDA determines whether or not the product is safe and
effective for its intended use that is
[[Page 66756]]
stated in its proposed labeling. Medicare evidence-based NCD reviews
consider the medical benefit and clinical utility of an item or service
in determining whether the item or service and its expenses are
reasonable and necessary under the Medicare program. Unlike the FDA
safety and effectiveness evaluation, CMS determines whether or not the
product is clinically effective, that is, does the item or service
improve net health outcomes in the Medicare population as compared to
other covered technologies or procedures. CMS and its contractors do
require that a drug or biological first be approved by the FDA,
although not necessarily for the indication for which coverage is
sought. CMS and its contractors also strongly consider the FDA's
evaluation when making a coverage determination for a product and do
not substitute their judgment for that of the FDA's regarding safety
and effectiveness. Instead, we focus our review on the issues that are
unique to Medicare's reasonable and necessary determination. (We note
that approval of a product by the FDA as a drug or biological does not
automatically assure that Medicare payment for the product will be as a
drug or biological. The product must still be placed into the most
appropriate Medicare benefit category before Medicare can make
appropriate payments.)
In the case of an FDA-approved indication for drugs and
biologicals, CMS and its contractors have generally considered that use
to be reasonable and necessary, without performing a separate review,
although Medicare has always retained the right to perform a separate
evaluation. (See, for example, 54 FR 4302, 4306, January 30, 1989)
(Proposed Rule-Coverage Criteria) (``Questions regarding coverage of
drugs and biologicals are rarely referred to PHS since we have
determined as a matter of national policy that drugs or biologicals
approved for marketing by FDA are safe and effective when used for
indications specified in their labeling.'') (emphasis added); Medicare
Carriers Manual section 2049.4 (``Use of the drug or biological must be
safe and effective and otherwise reasonable and necessary. Drugs or
biologicals approved for marketing by the Food and Drug Administration
are considered safe and effective for purposes of this requirement when
used for indications specified on the labeling.'' (emphasis added).
Under section 2049.4, our contractors ``may pay for the use of an FDA
approved drug or biological, if: (1) It was injected on or after the
date of the FDA's approval; (2) It is reasonable and necessary for the
individual patient; and (3) All other applicable coverage requirements
are met.'' (emphasis added).
CMS developed this approach, because, in the past, it was a more
efficient mechanism for coverage and the impact of drugs and
biologicals on the Medicare program was relatively small. Now, as a
result of the increasing number of novel therapies on the market and
the impact of new drugs and biologicals on the Medicare program, it is
prudent for Medicare to perform its traditional coverage analysis for
appropriate drugs and biologicals as it does for all other items and
services to ensure that it only pays for those products that are
clinically effective. For drugs and biologicals, Medicare will continue
to use FDA approval as a default for a reasonable and necessary
determination of an FDA-approved indication unless CMS decides
otherwise. CMS may choose to perform a reasonable and necessary
determination in several circumstances, including, but not limited to
the following: the drug or biological in question represents a novel,
complex or controversial treatment, may be costly to the Medicare
program, may be subject to overutilization or misuse, or received
marketing approval based on the use of surrogate outcomes.
B. Discussion of Pro Rata Reduction
Section 1833(t)(6)(E) of the Act limits the total projected amount
of transitional pass-through payments for a given year to an
``applicable percentage'' of projected total payments under the
hospital OPPS. For a year before 2004, the applicable percentage is 2.5
percent; for 2004 and subsequent years, we specify the applicable
percentage up to 2.0 percent. If we estimate before the beginning of
the calendar year that the total amount of pass-through payments in
that year would exceed the applicable percentage, section
1833(t)(6)(E)(iii) of the Act requires a (prospective) uniform
reduction in the amount of each of the transitional pass-through
payments made in that year to ensure that the limit is not exceeded. We
make an estimate of pass-through spending to determine not only whether
pass-through payments will exceed the applicable percentage but also to
determine the appropriate reduction to the conversion factor.
In the August 9, 2002 proposed rule, we describe in detail the
methodology we would use to make an estimate of pass-through spending
in 2003 (67 FR 52117 through 52118). Very generally, after projecting
2003 pass-through spending for the groups of devices, drugs,
biologicals, and radiopharmaceuticals as described in the proposed
rule, we would calculate total projected 2003 pass-through spending as
a percentage of the total (that is, Medicare and beneficiary payments)
projected payments under OPPS to determine if the pro rata reduction
would be required.
Below is a table showing our current estimate of 2003 pass-through
spending based on information available at the time the table was
developed. In the August 9, 2002 proposed rule we indicated that we
were uncertain whether pass-through spending in 2003 will exceed $467
million or 2.5 percent of total estimated OPPS spending because we had
not yet completed the estimate of pass-through spending for a number of
drugs. We invited comments on the methodology we proposed to use to
determine if a pro rata reduction would be necessary as well as the
assumptions shown in Table X of the August 9, 2002 proposed rule that
included anticipated utilization and utilization not yet determined.
We received several comments on this proposal, which are summarized
below.
Estimates of Pass-Through Spending
Comment: A device manufacturer stated that it would be premature to
impose pro rata reductions before we accurately account for an APC's
device offset amount.
Response: Where applicable we have applied offset amounts to APCs
with device categories for determining the final estimate of 2003 pass-
through spending.
Comment: Many commenters said that there should be no pro rata
reduction because we did not present the cost and utilization data that
would be used to determine if the criteria for a reduction were met.
Some commenters said that the pro rata reduction is discretionary and
that we should not impose one because of the magnitude of the decreases
for APCs that require expensive devices and the decreases in APCs for
drugs (as compared to the pass-through payment). Some commenters said
that our proposed projections overestimated the volumes that could be
expected to occur in 2003.
Response: Section 1833(t)(6)(E)(i) of the Act requires that the
Secretary estimate the total pass-through payments to be made for the
forthcoming year (which allows us to determine the amount of the
conversion factor for the forthcoming year) and to the extent the
estimate exceeds the statutory limit, reduce the amount of each pass-
through payment. For 2003,
[[Page 66757]]
the statutory limit is 2.5 percent of total estimated program payments.
In the August 9, 2002 proposed rule, we provided our best estimate at
that time of pass-through payments for the drugs and devices for which
we expected to make pass-through payments in 2003, and we explained our
methodology for determining the estimate for the final rule. We
provided a list of the devices and drugs we either knew would be paid
under pass-through next year or which we believed may be paid as pass-
through items in 2003.
We have refined and finalized our estimate of pass-through spending
in 2003 and, for the reasons discussed below, we have determined that
no pro rata reduction will be required in 2003. Moreover, as discussed
below the estimate falls under the statutory limit of 2.5 percent.
Therefore, the conversion factor has been increased.
Comment: A commenter disagreed with the 2003 payment estimates in
Table X of the August 9, 2002 proposed rule for the diagnostic and
therapeutic radiopharmaceutical agents, IN-111 Zevalin and Y-90
Zevalin. The commenter estimated the number of patients receiving this
therapy in the outpatient department setting in 2003 at approximately
2,500 for both the diagnostic and therapeutic portions, instead of the
9,000 that we projected in our August 9, 2002 proposed rule. The
commenter further stated that the payment per patient for the Y-90
Zevalin therapy should be based on 40 mCi, the amount required in the
preparation of the dose.
Response: Since publication of the August 9, 2002 proposed rule, we
have determined that the appropriate payment mechanism for IN-111
Zevalin and Y-90 Zevalin is through the new technology APCs, rather
than through the transitional pass-through payment methodology. Zevalin
began receiving pass-through payment as a hospital outpatient service
in 2002 as a radiopharmaceutical drug. After careful reexamination of
Zevalin, we have determined that Zevalin is not a drug and therefore
does not qualify for a pass-through payment.
Section 1861(t)(1) provides that the terms drugs and biologicals
``include only such drugs (including contrast agents) and biologicals,
respectively, as are included (or approved for inclusion) in [one of
several pharmacopoeias] (except for any drugs and biologicals
unfavorably evaluated therein), or as are approved by the pharmacy and
drug therapeutics committee (or equivalent committee) of the medical
staff of the hospital furnishing such drugs and biologicals for use in
such hospital.'' A careful reading of this statutory language convinces
us that inclusion of an item in, for example, the USPDI (as Zevalin is
included, as a biological), does not necessarily mean that the item is
a drug or biological. Inclusion in such reference (or approval by a
hospital committee) is a necessary condition for us to call a product a
drug or biological, but it is not enough. Rather, if we are to call a
product a drug or a biological for our purposes, CMS must still make
its own determination that the product is a drug or biological. In the
case of Zevalin, we have determined that Zevalin is not a drug or a
biological.
Zevalin consists of a radioactive isotope that is delivered to its
target tissue by a monoclonal antibody. Because of the specific
requirements associated with delivery of radioactive isotope therapy,
any product containing a therapeutic radioisotope, including Y-90
Zevalin, will be considered to be in the category of benefits described
under section 1861(s)(4) of the Act. Similarly, the appropriate benefit
category for all diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, including IN-111
Zevalin, is 1861(s)(3). We will consider neither diagnostic nor
theraputic radiopharmaceuticals to be drugs as described in section
1861(t).
Thus, we have determined that the most appropriate Medicare benefit
categories for IN-111 Zevalin and Y-90 Zevalin are as provided in
sections 1861(s)(3) and (4) of the Act because they are a new
diagnostic test and new radioactive isotope therapy, respectively. We
will pay for IN-111 Zevalin under the New Technology APC 718 and for Y-
90 Zevalin under the New Technology APC 725 until we have sufficient
hospital charge data upon which to use in assigning these services to
clinical APCs. Because we have decided that Zevalin does not qualify
for transitional pass-through payments, we have not included the
estimated payments for Zevalin in our revised estimates of total 2003
transitional pass-through payments.
We have based the determination of New Technology APCs for IN-111
Zevalin and Y-90 Zevalin on information received from the manufacturer
and invoices made available to us, and we believe the resulting payment
rates to hospitals should be adequate. We note that had we found it
necessary to pay for these products as drugs, the average wholesale
price alone could have exceeded $28,000 per treatment. We believe his
pricing is excessive and that it would have placed an unnecessarily
large burden on the Medicare Trust Funds. Had we found it necessary to
treat these products as drugs, however, we could have invoked the
authority of section 1833(t)(2)(E) to establish a more equitable
payment rate.
A hospital may bill for the number of millicuries billed to them by
a radiopharmacy or, if the hospital prepares Zevalin itself, the number
of millicuries prepared for administration to the patient but, in
either case, no more than 40 millicuries.
CMS has also undertaken a national coverage determination (NCD) for
Zevalin, which has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) to treat certain types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, to assure that
the product is appropriately used in the Medicare program. A decision
memorandum addressing the clinical uses of Zevalin to be covered by
Medicare will appear on the CMS coverage Web site (http://www.cms.hhs.gov/coverage) soon after publication of this rule.
Comment: A drug company raised concerns about the relationship of
epoetin alpha and darbepoetin alpha, two competing biologicals used for
treatment of anemia. The commenter urged that CMS determine that the
two products are substitutes with the same clinical effects and argued
that the two should be paid, subject to an appropriate conversion
ratio, at the same rate.
Response: Erythropoietin, a protein produced by the kidney,
stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. In severe kidney
disease, the kidney is not able to produce normal amounts of
erythropoietin, and this leads to the anemia. Additionally, certain
chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of some cancers suppress
the bone marrow and cause anemia. Treatment with exogenous
erythropoietin can increase red blood cell production in these patients
and treat their anemia.
In the late 1980's, scientists used recombinant DNA technology to
produce an erythropoietin-like protein called epoetin alpha. Epoetin
alpha has exactly the same amino acid structure as the erythropoietin
humans produce naturally, and, when given to patients with anemia,
stimulates red blood cell production.
Two commercial epoetin-alpha products are currently marketed in the
United States: Epogen\TM\ (marketed by Amgen) and Procrit\TM\ (marketed
by Ortho Biotech). These products are exactly the same but are marketed
under two different trade names. Both Epogen\TM\ and Procrit\TM\ are
approved by FDA for marketing for the following conditions: (1)
Treatment of anemia of chronic renal failure (including patients
[[Page 66758]]
on and not on dialysis), (2) treatment of Zidovudine-related anemia in
HIV patients, (3) treatment of anemia in cancer patients on
chemotherapy, and (4) treatment of anemia related to allogenic blood
transfusions in surgery patients. Both products are given either
intravenously or subcutaneously up to three times a week.
Amgen has recently developed a new erythropoietin-like product,
darbepoetin alpha, which it markets as Aranesp\TM\. Also produced by
recombinant DNA technology, darbepoetin alpha differs from epoetin
alpha by the addition of two carbohydrate chains. The addition of these
two carbohydrate chains affects the biologic half-life. This change, in
turn, affects how often the biological can be administered, which
yields a decreased dosing schedule for darbepoetin alpha by comparison
to epoetin alpha. Amgen has received FDA approval to market Aranesp\TM\
for treatment of anemia related to chronic renal failure (including
patients on and not on dialysis) and for treatment of chemotherapy-
related anemia in cancer patients.
Because darbepoetin alpha has two additional carbohydrate side-
chains, it is not structurally identical to epoetin alpha. However, the
two products are functionally equivalent: In this case, both products
use the same biological mechanism to produce the same clinical result,
stimulation of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Thus,
Epogen\TM\, Procrit\TM\, and Aranesp\TM\ are all functionally
equivalent.
These biologicals are dosed in different units. Epoetin alpha is
dosed in Units per kilogram (U/kg) of patient weight and darbepoetin
alpha in micrograms per kilogram (mcg/kg). The difference in dosing
metric is due to changes in the accepted convention at the time of each
product's development. At the time epoetin alpha was developed,
biologicals (such as those developed through recombinant DNA) were
typically dosed in International Units (or Units for short), a measure
of the product's biologic activity. They were not dosed by weight (for
example, micrograms) because of a concern that weight might not
accurately reflect their standard biologic activity. The biologic
activity of such products can now be accurately predicted by weight,
however, and manufacturers have begun specifying the doses of such
biologicals by weight. No standard formula exists for converting
amounts of a biologic dosed in Units to amounts of a drug dosed by
weight.
In clinical practice, CMS recognizes that no strict method of
converting an epoetin alpha dose to a darbepoetin alpha dose exists.
There are general guidelines for conversion, and clinicians modify the
dose based on the patient's hematopoietic response. For developing a
payment policy, however, it is feasible to establish a method of
converting the dose of each of these drugs to the other.
As part of the process to define a conversion ratio between these
biologicals, CMS held a series of meetings with both Amgen and Ortho
Biotech. Both companies provided substantial written and published
information. We reviewed the Food and Drug Administration labeling for
each product (EpogenTM, ProcritTM, and
AranespTM). We also hired an independent contractor to
review the available clinical evidence, and we performed an internal
review of this evidence as well. The body of literature reviewed
included 40 scientific articles culled from references submitted by the
companies as well as a Medline literature search. CMS took into
consideration both published and unpublished studies as well as
abstracts, conference reports, and materials provided by the two
companies.
In selecting articles for review, CMS sought studies that (1)
provided a ``head-to-head'' comparison of epoetin alpha to darbepoetin
alpha either in patients with chronic kidney disease (on or not on
dialysis) or in cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced anemia, and
(2) in which an appropriate outcome measure was used. In the absence of
such data, we also considered clinical studies that either compared
both products to each other or that linked the dose of a particular
product with an appropriate health outcome measure.
CMS's identification of a conversion ratio between the dosages of
these two products, darbepoetin alpha and epoetin alpha, is solely for
the purpose of developing a Medicare payment policy. It is not meant to
imply or suggest what should be done for individual patients in
clinical practice. In addition, by using a conversion ratio CMS is not
attempting to establish a lower or upper limit on the amount of either
biological a physician can prescribe to a patient. CMS expects that
physicians will continue to prescribe these biologicals based on the
needs of individual patients. In terms of payment, however, CMS
considers these biologicals to be functionally equivalent (even if
structurally different), and, therefore, will establish an equitable
payment policy that relates dosage of the agents to each other.
In our review, we placed the greatest emphasis on published, high
quality clinical studies and looked for the best possible estimates
based on an evaluation of the dosing of each product that, on average,
produced the same clinical response. Based on our own review of the
evidence, our consultation with the independent contactor who also
reviewed the evidence, and our discussions with Amgen and Ortho
Biotech, CMS concludes that an appropriate conversion ratio for the
purposes of a payment policy is to 260 International Units of epoetin
alpha to one microgram of darbepoetin alpha (260:1).
We think that improved information from clinical trials involving
``head-to-head'' comparisons of these two products could help us insure
our policy is correct and if necessary update this policy in the
future. In this vein, the National Cancer Institute has been directed
to work with CMS to quickly develop and sponsor a trial or trials to
evaluate the appropriate conversion ratio between these products for
the purpose of Medicare pricing. We expect this project to be completed
during the cycle for development of the 2004 OPPS update regulation. If
we can estimate a more accurate conversion ratio based on this study or
from our review of our own payment data, we will make a change to
reflect this ratio so as soon as practicable.
We proposed that transitional pass-through payments for epoetin
alpha end at the end of this calendar year, and that payment be made in
calendar year 2003 in a separate, unpackaged APC. We are adopting these
policies for the final rule.
We had proposed to continue transitional pass-through payments for
darbepoetin alpha. We accept, however, the comment suggesting that
these two biologicals should be paid at the same rate. As noted above,
the products are almost identical; nevertheless there is a great
disparity in their costs. In this situation, we believe it is
appropriate for us to rely on our authority in section 1833(t)(2)(E) of
the Social Security Act to make an adjustment we determine ``necessary
to ensure equitable payments.'' We do not believe it would be equitable
or an efficient use of Medicare funds to pay for these two functionally
equivalent products at greatly different rates. We would package these
two biologicals into the same APC, but the difference in dosage metrics
makes this step technically impossible if we are to maintain the
ability to pay on the basis of the actual dose used. Consequently, they
will be in separate APCs but paid at equivalent rates. The 2003 payment
rate for non-ESRD epoetin alpha is established as $9.10 per 1000 Units
elsewhere in this
[[Page 66759]]
rule. We employ the conversion ratio of 260:1 to establish the 2003
payment rate for darbepoetin alpha as $2.37 per 1 microgram. Because
this payment rate equals the payment rate for epoetin alpha (albeit
expressed in different units), we reduce the transitional pass-through
payment for darbepoetin alpha to zero.
An alternative line of reasoning would produce the same result.
Section 1833(t)(6)(A) of the Social Security Act distinguishes between
``current'' and ``new'' biologicals. Epoetin alpha is a ``current''
biological. Since April 2002, we have treated darbepoetin alpha as a
``new'' biological. However, section 1833(t)(6)(A)(iv) sets forth the
criteria that must be met for a biological to be considered ``new.''
One criterion is that the biological is not described by any item
described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of section 1833(t)(6)(A) of the
Act, which define ``current'' drugs, biologicals, and devices. Given
the determination stated above that these products are functionally
equivalent, we believe that darbepoetin alpha is already described by
epoetin alpha, a ``current'' biological. Because darbepoetin alpha is
functionally equivalent to epoetin alpha, we believe we could conclude
that it would be most appropriate to consider darbepoetin alpha a
``current'' biological. In that event, it would not qualify for a pass-
through payment as a ``new'' biological. Accordingly, under this
analysis, we would terminate the duration of transitional pass-through
payment eligibility for darbepoetin alpha on December 31, 2002, and pay
for it in a fashion comparable to other products that lose eligibility
for transitional pass-through status on that date. More particularly,
we would pay it equivalently to epoetin alpha.
Beneficiary copayments are unchanged as a result of the change in
payment for darbepoetin alpha, because under this rule the copayment
amount for both biologicals would have equaled that calculated for
epoetin alpha in any case.
This change is budget neutral. As a result of this change, our
estimate of total transitional pass-through payments is smaller than it
would otherwise have been. The percentage we have reduced the
conversion factor to compensate for transitional pass-through spending
is accordingly smaller, and in a budget neutral fashion payment rates
for other services are correspondingly higher.
We do not expect to make nationally-applicable determinations of
similarity of drugs or biologicals, such as that discussed above, on a
routine basis. We regard this situation as unusual, distinguished by
the very strong similarity of the two products and by the size of the
potential effects on the Medicare program. We thus believe that making
this determination and insuring comparable payment is justified in this
particular instance.
Comment: Commenters from pharmaceutical manufacturers, trade
associations, and a provider of oncology services raised concern over
the methods used to estimate 2003 pass-through payments for drugs. The
primary concern was that we overestimated pass-through spending for
2003, and as a result would trigger pro rata reductions in pass-through
payments for drugs appearing on Table X.
Some commenters suggested that we refine our estimation procedures
by utilizing alternative modeling techniques and by using data from
claims experience. Several of the comments included, in depth, data
analysis along with models used to predict pass-through drug spending
for calendar year 2003. Spending estimates ranged from $213 million to
$441 million dollars.
Other commenters objected to the techniques used to estimate pass-
through spending for future products, those items first eligible for
pass-though payments in April 2003 or later. A manufacturer's
association objected to the use of drugs eligible for pass-through
payment beginning in January 1, 2003 as the basis of a forecast of
drugs likely to acquire pass-through statusthroughout the remainder of
the year. This objection stems from what the association views as the
lack of similarities between drugs first eligible for pass-through
payments on January 1, 2003 and those eligible later in the year.
Further, they object to estimating any additional pass-through payments
when it is not clear whether or not a product will be added to the list
during 2003.
Another commenter proposed the use of a more sophisticated model
based on drugs currently in the FDA pipeline to be used to project
spending of drugs first eligible for pass-through payment between April
and December 2003.
Other commenters objected to our estimates for specific drugs.
Response: We have made a number of changes in response to these
comments and in the course of our efforts to complete and refine our
preliminary estimates. We have removed several items from the list of
2003 pass-through items that appeared in our August 9, 2002 proposed
rule and thus from our final estimates of 2003 pass-through payments.
These include IN-111 Zevalin and Y-90 Zevalin, as noted above. FDG
(HCPCS C1775; APC 1775) meets the statutory definition of a current
radiopharmaceutical and has been receiving pass-through payments.
Because we have decided that the pass-through status of current
radiopharmaceuticals will not continue past December 31, 2002, pass-
through payment status for FDG will end on January 1, 2003. Because a
separate code for FDG did not exist until April 2002, we do not have
discrete hospital charge data upon which to calculate a median cost for
FDG. For transition purposes in 2003, we will pay separately for this
supply based on an estimated acquisition cost of 71 percent applied to
the 2002 payment rate.
We address below several other issues that arose during our
refinement of Table X in the proposed rule. We proposed to continue
pass-through payment status for TC 99M oxidronate under HCPCS C1058.
However, following publication of the August 9, 2002 proposed rule, we
determined that this drug was also represented by HCPCS code Q3009.
Under HCPCS code Q3009, this radiopharmaceutical agent has received
pass-through payment status for at least 2 years, and will no longer be
eligible for pass-through payment under either HCPCS code Q3009 or
C1058 beginning on January 1, 2003. As proposed, we are packaging the
cost of Q3009 into the procedures with which the code was billed.
Two other HCPCS codes representing radiopharmaceutical agents were
inadvertently included in the list of 2003 pass-through drugs in the
proposed rule. HCPCS codes C1064 and C1065 were add-on codes used to
bill for an additional mCi of I-131. These codes, along with the
related HCPCS code C1188 and C1348, which are used to report an initial
1-5 or 1-6 mCi, respectively, will no longer be eligible for pass-
through payment on January 1, 2003.
Table 9 contains the final list of items that are eligible for
pass-through payments in 2002 and will remain eligible in 2003. Table 9
also contains items that have been approved for pass-through payments
beginning in 2003.
It does not contain categories of devices or drugs for which pass-
through applications are still pending at the time of issuance of this
final rule or for which applications have yet to be received.
We used the following methodology to estimate the pass-through
payments for 2003.
1. Devices eligible in 2002 [Device categories beginning July 1,
2002 (C1783, C1888, C1900)] that will continue in 2003: We used
manufacturers' retail prices along with
[[Page 66760]]
claims utilization estimated for 2003 by our clinical staff, based on
our claims data and coding and projected utilization information
supplied in the applications. No device offsets were applicable.
2. Drugs eligible in 2002 that will continue in 2003: We used the
July 2002 Redbook prices to determine the AWP, which we used in
combination with our ratios for establishing estimated acquisition
costs to derive pass-through payments for drugs in 2003. We determined
the volume for pass-through drugs by soliciting manufacturer estimates
of volume for the Medicare population where possible and relying upon a
commenter's estimates for the volumes of other drugs.
3. Devices eligible in January 2003: We used manufacturers' retail
prices along with claims utilization estimated for 2003 by our clinical
staff, based on our claims data and coding and projected utilization
information supplied in the applications. We applied offsets to
procedures associated with devices that mapped to APCs with offsets.
4. Drugs eligible in January 2003: We used the July 2002 Redbook
prices to determine the AWP which we used in combination with our
ratios for establishing estimated acquisition costs to derive pass-
through payments for drugs in 2003. We determined the volume for pass-
through drugs by soliciting manufacturer estimates of volume for the
Medicare population where possible and relying upon a commenter's
estimates for the volumes of other drugs.
5. Devices eligible in 2001 and will continue in 2003: We used
manufacturers' retail prices along with claims utilization for the 12
months that ended March 31, 2002, increased to 2003 by the growth rate
provided by our actuary.
Our final estimate of transitional pass-through spending for 2003
also includes projected spending for items that have not yet been
approved for 2003. We had proposed to base our estimate of spending for
such items on items that have been newly approved for January 1, 2003.
In response to comments, we have based our projection for items that
will be approved later in 2003 on items that were newly approved for
October 1, 2002 and January 1, 2003. We have based our estimate on the
two most recent quarters of approval because we anticipate a higher
volume of pass-through approvals compared to early 2002 for two
reasons. First, we began paying for categories of devices on April 1,
2001. The vast majority of items in use at that time, as well as newly
FDA approved items, could receive pass-through payments under a
category code. We received, and subsequently approved, a relatively
small number of pass-through applications in the first half of 2002.
Consequently, we based our projection of spending for items that will
be determined eligible for pass-through status in 2003 based on items
determined eligible for October 1, 2002 and items determined eligible
or expected to be determined eligible for January 1, 2003.
In summary, we estimate that pass-through spending in 2003 will
approximate $427.4 million. We believe that pass-through spending in
2003 will break out into the following categories for 2003:

Our total 2003 estimate of $427.4 million is 2.3 percent of total
estimated program payment. We proposed to reduce the conversion factor
by 2.5 percent to account for pass-through spending. Since our estimate
is now below 2.5 percent, we have adopted a reduction of 2.3 percent to
the conversion factor in accord with our estimate of pass-through
payments. Our final assumptions used to create the estimate are shown
in Table 9 above.
C. Expiration of Transitional Pass-Through Payments in Calendar Year
2003 for Devices
Section 1833(t)(6)(B)(iii) of the Act requires that a category of
devices be eligible for transitional pass-through payments for at least
2, but not more than 3, years. This period begins with the first date
on which a transitional pass-through payment is made for any medical
device that is described by the category. We proposed that 95 device
categories currently in effect will expire effective January 1, 2003.
Our proposed payment methodology for devices that have been paid by
means of pass-through categories, but for which pass-through status
will expire effective January 1, 2003, is discussed in the section
below.
Although the device category codes became effective on April 1,
2001, many of the item-specific C-codes for pass-through devices that
were crosswalked to the new category codes were approved for pass-
through payment in CY 2000, or as of January 1, 2001. (The crosswalk
for item-specific C-codes to category codes was issued in Transmittals
A-01-41 and A-01-97,) To establish the expiration date for the category
codes listed in Table 10, we determined when item-specific devices that
are described by the categories were first made effective for pass-
through payment before the implementation of device categories. These
dates are listed in Table 7 in the column entitled ``Date First
Populated.'' We proposed to base the expiration date for a device
category on the earliest effective date of pass-through status for any
device that populates that category. Thus, the 95 categories for
devices that will have been eligible for pass-through payments for at
least 2 years as of December 31, 2002 would not be eligible for pass-
through payments effective January 1, 2003.
Below is Table 7, which includes a comprehensive list of all pass-
through device categories effective on or before July 1, 2002 with the
date that devices described by the category first became effective for
payment under the pass-through provisions and their respective proposed
expiration dates.

We considered a number of options on how to pay for devices after
their pass-through payment status expires effective January 1, 2003. We
held a Town Hall Meeting on April 5, 2002, to solicit recommendations
on how to pay for drugs, biologicals, and devices once their
eligibility for transitional pass-through payments expires in
accordance with the time limits set by the statute. Interested parties
representing hospitals, physician specialty groups, device and drug
manufacturers and trade associations, and other organizations presented
their views on these issues.
After carefully considering all the comments, concerns, and
recommendations submitted to us regarding payment for devices and drugs
and biologicals that would no longer be eligible for pass-through
payments in 2003, we proposed to package the costs of medical devices
no longer eligible for pass-through payment in 2003 into the costs of
the procedures with which the devices were billed in 2001. (Our
proposal to pay for pass-through drugs and biologicals whose pass-
through status expires in 2003 is discussed below, in section IV.D.)
The methodology that we proposed to use to package pass-through
device costs is consistent with the methodology for packaging that we
describe in section III.B of this preamble. That is, to calculate the
total cost for a service on a per-service basis, we included all
charges billed with the service in a revenue center in addition to
packaged HCPCS codes with status indicator ``N.'' We also packaged the
2001 charges for devices that will cease to be eligible for pass-
through payment in 2003 into the changes for the HCPCS codes with which
the devices were billed. We relied on the hospitals to correctly code
their bills for all costs, including pass-through devices, using HCPCS
codes and revenue centers as appropriate to describe the services that
they furnished.
To prevent the loss of the device costs billed by hospitals through
revenue centers in developing our relative weights for APCs, we
proposed to package the costs of both the device ``C'' codes and the
billed revenue centers, whichever appeared on the claim. At the time,
we believed that this method would allow us to capture all device
related costs billed by hospitals. See our discussion of charges for
devices in section III.A.2 of the preamble for this issue.
We customarily allow a grace period for HCPCS codes that are
scheduled for deletion. When we allow a grace period for deleted codes,
we permit deleted codes to continue to be billed and paid for 90 days
after the effective date of the changes that require their deletion.
However, we proposed to not allow a grace period for expiring pass-
through codes because permitting a grace period would result in pass-
through payment for the items for which we proposed to cease pass-
through payment effective with services furnished on or after January
1, 2003. Effective for services furnished on or after January 1, 2003,
hospitals would submit charges for all surgically inserted devices in
the supply, implant, or device revenue center that most appropriately
describes the implant. Device costs will thus be packaged into and
reflected in the costs for the procedure with which they are
associated. Therefore, effective for services furnished on or after
January 1, 2003, we proposed to reject line items containing a ``C''
code for a device category scheduled to expire effective January 1,
2003.
We received several comments on this proposal, which are summarized
below.
General
Comment: A number of hospital organizations indicated they were
pleased with our handling of the transitional pass-through payment
provisions. The commenters supported our proposal to package into
procedural APCs the costs of devices that are no longer eligible for
pass-through payment. The commenters asserted that packaging of device
costs into base APC payments minimized the confusion and complication
of identifying pass-through codes for certain devices and eliminates
special payment incentives to use pass-through devices. Provider
organizations emphasized the difficult and complicated task of
appropriate coding of pass-through items, especially during the
transition from a brand-specific to device category system. These
commenters also supported our proposal to include device costs from
revenue centers in packaging device costs into APCs, to include all
device costs.
Response: We appreciate these comments. We are adopting our
proposed policy in this area as final for 2003.
Comment: A hospital organization proposed that we release the
crosswalk we used to assign pass-through device costs to specific APCs,
so that it can study the assignments made, out of concern that some
APCs may receive inadequate payment rates.
Response: Our methodology did not involve a cross-walk, so we do
not have
[[Page 66764]]
one available. Claims files we have made publicly available may be used
to analyze where device costs were allocated.
Comment: A device manufacturer stated it conceptually agreed that
costs of devices should be packaged into ``base'' APC rates of related
procedures. However, it viewed as critical that 2003 payment rates
appropriately and adequately capture device costs.
Response: We agree. As described elsewhere, we are adopting a
number of changes in our methodology to help insure appropriate
payments for procedures whose payment rates would otherwise have fallen
significantly from 2002.
Comment: A hospital provider organization urged us to remain
committed to the averaging process inherent in a prospective payment
system, rather than seek to pay actual cost for elements of total
costs, such as new technology. It opposed the imposition of additional
administrative costs, for example, any required reporting of
acquisition costs on claims, in order to ``fine tune'' pass-through
payments or relative weights. It preferred a sample survey to any
reporting of acquisition costs. It also preferred that hospitals be
permitted to establish their charge structures separately from our
payment policies. It recommended that we avoid overriding the hospital-
specific cost-to-charge ratio in order to alter the ratios for new
technology devices and not distort the PPS to pay for selected items.
Response: We appreciate this comment. We have no plans to require
reporting of acquisition costs on claims. Although we intend to
consider further improvements in our methods for determining OPPS
payment rates in the future, we recognize that the importance of
maintaining a well developed and coherent methodology.
Comment: A hospital provider organization recommended that we
furnish a regulatory impact analysis that reflects the total change in
payments that are estimated to occur that include outlier, pass-through
and corridor payments and each of these items should be separately
identifiable.
Response: We regret that we are unable to provide the level of
detail the commenter requests in the impact analysis. We discuss the
extent of our knowledge of accuracy of the pro rata reduction and fold
in impact in 2002 in section VIII.
Comment: A commenter requested that we disclose how much the
``fold-in'' of device costs into procedure APC payments for 2002 and
the pro rata reduction imposed during 2002 over or under compensated
hospitals for the new technology devices and drugs. This organization
contended that we overestimated the amount of pass-through payments in
2002, when compared to actual payments, and thus arbitrarily removed
some $400 million from an already underfunded OPPS.
Response: We do not have a revised estimate of transitional pass-
through spending for 2002 available at this time. We note that the lack
of a pro rata reduction in 2001 may have resulted in higher than
expected spending in that year. In either case, the statute does not
provide for any retrospective adjustments, either up or down, if the
Secretary's estimate of transitional pass-through spending made in
advance of the start of the relevant calendar year, and which is used
to determine whether a pro rata reduction is necessary and if so how
large it must be, later proves too high or too low.
Expiration of Device Categories
Comment: A large number of commenters questioned the adequacy of
rates proposed for 2003 for APCs involving devices now paid
transitional pass-through payments in instances where the device
categories expire. Many of these commenters provided information about
manufacturers' prices for these devices.
Response: We are also concerned about the adequacy of these payment
rates. We have reviewed the information provided, and it has helped
guide us in determining our final policies for 2003. As discussed
elsewhere in this preamble, we have used more recent data, carefully
selected appropriate claims for use in relative weight calculations,
and adopted dampening provisions to mitigate the reduction in payment
rates that might otherwise have occurred.
Comment: Some commenters recommended that we delay expiration of
transitional pass-through device categories until we collect more
accurate data. A device manufacturer suggested that we extend the pass-
through payment period for another year to allow time to study ways of
capturing hospital costs, to improve accuracy of APC rates.
Response: For devices that have been paid in 2000, we cannot extend
the pass-through payment as suggested, because this would violate the
statutory provision that limits pass-through payments for at least 2
but not more than 3 years. Section 1833(t)(6)(B)(iii)(II) states that a
category of devices shall be in effect for a period of at least 2 but
not more than 3 years, which begins in the case of the categories
initially implemented on April 1, 2001, ``on the first date on which
payment was made * * * for any device described by such category
(including payments made during the period before April 1, 2001.'' We
cannot extend the transitional pass-through payments in order to
collect more data.
Comment: A number of organizations recommended that we continue
transitional pass-through payment status for an additional year for one
or more of several categories that were first populated with devices on
January 1, 2001. One commenter recommended that we continue pass-
through payments for all current device categories until July 31, 2003
and through December 31, 2003 for items in categories first populated
as of January 1, 2001, stating that we make mid-year changes to billing
requirements and HCPCS codes. The commenter acknowledged that this may
be burdensome, but stated that the benefit of paying appropriately
outweighs the cost of revising rates in mid-year.
Response: We have reviewed these categories and do not see a marked
difference between these categories and the other categories the
eligibility of which is expiring. As a result, we do not believe it
would be appropriate to continue transitional pass-through payment
status for them beyond December 31, 2002.
Revising rates in mid-year is not generally part of Medicare rate-
making policy and is not appropriate in this instance either. It is not
only burdensome for this agency, it also burdens the providers and
fiscal intermediaries, and it would add confusion to an already complex
system.
Comment: Organizations recommended that we continue pass-through
payment status for cardiac resynchronization ICDs devices through
category C1882. We indicated that this category contains devices that
first received transitional pass-through payments as of August 1, 2000.
The commenter is concerned that this category, which is described as
``cardioverter-defibrillator, other than single or dual chamber,'' also
includes a cardiac resynchronization ICD that was first eligible for
transitional pass-through payments on January 1, 2001. The commenter
suggested that in order to avoid any unfair competitive advantage among
categories with competing technologies, we should extend pass-through
payments for both C1882 and C2621, ``pacemaker, other than single or
dual chamber,'' which includes cardiac pacemakers.
[[Page 66765]]
Response: We cannot extend the pass-through payment status for
C1882. We believe the most appropriate step is to end these categories
in tandem. Therefore, we will terminate transitional pass-through
payments for these 2 categories simultaneously as of January 1, 2003.
Comment: A hospital organization requested clarification regarding
the expiration of transitional pass-through device categories effective
January 1, 2003. This commenter was confused by our stated proposal to
delete 95 pass-through category codes as of January 1, 2003, yet
Addendum B of the proposed rule shows these 95 codes as active codes
with an OPPS status indicator of ``N'' (packaged). A number of
commenters recommended that hospitals retain the option to code them
and have the ``N'' status drive the payment, or in order to continue to
report and track those devices.
Response: We intend on deleting these codes, with the line item use
of the codes rejected. We clarify the status indicator in this final
rule.
Comment: A hospital provider organization requested clarification
on our proposal that hospitals submit charges for all surgically
inserted devices in the supply, implant, or device revenue center that
most appropriately describes the implant and that the device costs will
then be packaged into and reflected in the costs for the procedure with
which they are associated. It noted that we published clear
requirements on what revenue codes were appropriate for reporting
medical devices that had been granted pass-through status in Program
Memorandum A-01-50. The organization stated that that this would
constitute the appropriate revenue center list to use for these devices
even though they are now packaged.
Response: In the proposed rule we indicated that effective for
services furnished on or after January 1, 2003, hospitals would not
bill a ``C'' code for devices that no longer qualify for pass-through
payment, but would submit charges for surgically inserted devices in
the supply, implant or device revenue center that most appropriately
describes the implant. We agree with the commenter that the revenue
codes listed in Program Memorandum A-01-50 will continue to constitute
the appropriate revenue codes under which such devices must be billed,
even when the devices are no longer eligible for pass-through payments.
Use of Codes for Expiring Categories After January 1, 2003
Comment: A commenter asked us to clarify the use of device HCPCS
codes after their expiration dates. Commenters expressed concern that
our proposed deletion of the pass-through codes of drugs and devices as
of January 1, 2003 without a grace period would place a burden on
hospitals. One commenter recommends that we change the status indicator
to ``N'', that is, packaged with other services. One commenter stated
that we should keep all C-codes in effect permanently, even without
reimbursement. The commenter argues that this step would provide better
tracking for providers and payers and eliminates the coding burden
caused by deletion of codes.
Response: We proposed to delete the pass-through category codes for
devices when the eligibility of the category for pass-through payments
expires. Therefore, any claims that use these codes will be returned to
providers. We proposed to reject the line item in the proposed rule.
However, on further consideration and discussion within CMS, we decided
that we must return the claim to the provider so that the provider may
correctly place the charges for the device in a revenue center. This is
important to ensure that the hospital receives any hold harmless,
corridor or outlier payments that it is due. If we were to line item
reject the deleted code and process the rest of the claim, then the
hospital could be underpaid by the absence of payments that would
result if the charges for the device were correctly reported. Given the
frequency with which our data shows that providers fail to bill for the
device (even when they could receive pass-through payment for it as
discussed in section III.A.2 of the preamble), we believe that it is
important that the claim be returned to the provider so that it can be
corrected and resubmitted for payment.
Comment: A hospital organization agreed with our proposal not to
have a 90-day grace period for C-codes scheduled for deletion, to
prevent additions to the pass-through payment pool, which could then
contribute to a pro rata reduction to other services.
Response: We agree. We believe it is necessary in this instance to
forgo a grace period to prevent incorrect payments.
New Device Categories
Comment: A number of commentersprovided both supportive and
critical comments to the August 9, 2002 proposed rule on our criteria
for establishing new device categories for transitional pass-through
payment. One commenter indicated that we have been reviewing and
evaluating applications for new device categories even though we have
not issued a final rule on this subject.
Response: We have summarized comments that we received timely in
response to the November 2, 2001 interim final rule on the criteria,
and these are addressed in section V of this final rule. We will take
note of all comments as we evaluate the new device category process and
any modifications to the process we might propose in the future. Our
review of applications for device categories has been done under
authority of the November 2, 2001 interim final rule.
Stent Categories C1874 and C1875
Comment: A number of commenters took issue with our interpretation
of existing category limitation in evaluating applications for new
pass-through device categories. They cited our discussion on drug-
eluting stents, that is, that this new technology was described by
existing categories C1874, stent, coated/covered with delivery system,
and C1875, stent, coated/covered without delivery system. These
commenters asserted that neither of the existing categories
appropriately describes the drug-eluting stent technology. While they
indicated that creating a new APC for drug-eluting stents is
appropriate, they expressed concern that many existing categories are
described in broad terms, thus potentially excluding other new
technologies from additional categories. Examples of applications for
ICDs and total joint implants were provided.
Response: We are making final our proposal for separate, procedure
APCs for procedures involving drug-eluting stents. These stents will
not be in a transitional pass-through category nor receive transitional
pass-through payments. In the case of breakthrough therapies that may
quickly achieve widespread distribution and that are sufficiently
expensive to have a significant effect on hospitals, we may propose to
create appropriate APCs, as we have done in this instance. The existing
transitional pass-through device categories were deliberately specified
in fairly broad terms in order to provide an appropriate balance
between specificity and the reporting burden on hospitals.
DME Payment for Implantable Devices
Comment: One commenter, concerned about reduced payments for
implantable devices, suggested that we define certain implantable
devices as durable
[[Page 66766]]
medical equipment and/or prosthetics, for payment under the durable
medical equipment fee schedule instead of the OPPS.
Response: The BBRA of 1999 changed the OPPS and durable medical
equipment fee schedule (see sections 1833(t)(1)(B)(iii) and
1834(h)(4)(B) of the Act) so that implantable prosthetic devices
delivered in the hospital outpatient setting must be paid through the
OPPS, rather than on the durable medical equipment fee schedule.
Category C1765, Adhesion Barrier
Comment: A commenter claimed that one of our categories that we
propose to continue pass-through payment in 2003, Adhesion Barrier
(C1765), contains a product that was manufactured by a single company.
The FDA asked the company to recall the product, and it has been off
the market for more than a year. This commenter suggested that C1765 be
removed from the APC system for 2003, since neither this nor equivalent
products are on the market. If and when this or another similar product
is reintroduced to the market, it should be considered for pass-through
payment at that time.
Response: We will not remove category C1765 from active pass-
through payment, which is scheduled to continue through December 31,
2003. C1765 is open to any product that fits the category description
of adhesion barrier in accordance with the definition in Program
Memorandum A-02-050, not only the product of the stated manufacturer.
Cochlear Implants
Comment: Numerous providers, including hospitals, ENT clinics,
physicians, clinical audiologists and other commenters, protested our
proposed payment rates for cochlear implant services. They questioned
our data for 2001, saying insufficient claims data appear to be
reported for the procedure or that the charges appear inappropriately
low. Some providers requested an average payment of $3,000 for the
surgery, plus the invoice cost of the device, some offering to include
the manufacturer's invoice with their claims. Comments also included
recommendations that we continue to pay for cochlear implants as pass-
through payments for another year or more to develop more accurate
claims data . A group of manufacturers also recommended that we issue
written guidance to hospitals regarding the correct billing procedures
for cochlear implants.
Response: We have attempted to mitigate the proposed reductions in
payment rates resulting from the expiration of transitional pass-
through device categories, of which cochlear implant is one .
Transitional pass-through payments were first made for cochlear
implants on August 1, 2000, before pass-through category L8614 was
established. Therefore, we cannot provide another year or more of pass-
through payments, because the statute limits pass-through payments to a
period of at least 2 years but not more than 3 years. We feel the
recommendation that we issue guidance to hospitals regarding the
correct billing procedures for device related procedures, such as
cochlear implants, may have merit, and we will consider providing
further guidance in this area.
IOLs
Comment: A number of commenters expressed concern that the
expiration of the transitional pass-through device category for new
technology intraocular lenses (IOLs) on January 1, 2003 would result in
inadequate payment for new technology lenses. These commenters
recommended that a new APC be created to pay for the provision of these
lenses, even though the incremental cost is low. These commenters also
recommended that we create new categories of new technology IOL ``for
additional payment similar to the provision applicable in ambulatory
surgical centers. One commenter was concerned that we not allow the
broad description of the current category C1780, ``lens, intraocular
(new technology)'' to interfere with future intraocular lenses being
eligible for pass-through payment.
Response: Regarding the adequacy of payment after the new
technology IOL category expires, no specific data were provided by any
commenters. However, we believe that the incremental cost of such
lenses is low. We do not believe a change the APC for implanting new
technology IOLs is warranted at this time.
Implantation of Neurostimulator (APC 222) and Electrode (APC 225)
Comment: A manufacturer and a number of medical centers commented
that the proposed payments for implantation of a neurostimulator
generator (APC 222) and electrode (APC 225) are inadequate. One of
these commenters recommended that we delay the expiration of these
pass-through categories for another year or two.
Response: The implantations of a neurostimulator generator and
electrode have been paid via pass-through payment for devices since
August 2000, and we proposed to retire the pass-through categories as
of January 1, 2003. For devices that have been paid since August 2000,
we cannot extend the pass-through payment for another year or two, as
suggested, because this would violate the statutory provision that
limits pass-through payments for at least 2 but not more than 3 years.
Therefore, we are moving to prospective payment for these devices from
the charge-based pass-through payments.
Dialysis Access Systems
Comment: A manufacturer of a dialysis access system asserted that
the 2003 proposed reduction in payment rates for dialysis access would
curtail patient access.
The commenter provided two suggestions regarding the expiring
category code for dialysis access systems, C1881. One option suggested
is for us to assign a unique HCPCS code for placement of the
manufacturer's brand specific dialysis system and place it in a new or
existing APC that has appropriate payment. This commenter contended
that bundling C1881 within APC 115 will result in inadequate payment,
because the device will be bundled with standard hemodialysis catheters
and chemotherapy ports. The second option suggested is to extend pass-
through payment status for category C1881. This commenter stated its
dialysis system was approved for pass-through payment in August 2000,
and there were limited sales and therefore claims in 2000 and the first
half of 2001. Thus, this commenter expressed the opinion that there is
approximately 1 year of data for this category, not the 2 to 3 years
required.
Response: Regarding the option proposed by this commenter for
assignment of a unique product-specific HCPCS code, we do not assign
unique HCPCS codes for brand-specific devices. Section 1833(t)(6)(B) of
the Act indicates that transitional pass-through status of devices is
to be determined based on categories. HCPCS codes are generally
assigned for procedures that are not adequately described by existing
HCPCS codes. This device has had a temporary category code for roughly
two and one-half years, and we believe there are sufficient data to
measure its utilization and cost. Regarding this commenter's proposal
to extend pass-through payment status for category C1881, we cannot, by
law, extend the pass-through payment period beyond the 2 to 3 year
period. Although the commenter asserted that there were only limited
claims for pass-through payment for the device in 2000 and the first
half of 2001, section 1833(t)(6)(B)(iii) of the
[[Page 66767]]
Act explicitly indicates that the 2 to 3 year period for which
categories of devices may be in effect applies from the first date on
which payment was made under the OPPS for any device described by the
category, which was August 2000.
Specific Category Applications
Comment: Several commenters commented on specific pass-through
device category applications which we had open as of the time of the
comment or applications which we had previously denied as eligible for
pass-through payment.
Response: We evaluate all pass-through device category applications
individually and respond to applicants directly.
D. Expiration of Transitional Pass-Through Payments in Calendar Year
2003 for Drugs and Biologicals (Including Radiopharmaceutical Agents,
Blood, and Blood Products)
Under the OPPS, we currently pay for drugs and biologicals,
including radiopharmaceutical agents, blood, and blood products, in one
of three ways: packaged payment, separate APCs and transitional pass-
through payment.
Drugs as Packaged Supplies
As we explained in the April 7, 2000 final rule, we generally
package the cost of drugs and biologicals into the APC payment rate for
the primary procedure or treatment with which the drugs are usually
furnished (65 FR 18450). Hospitals do not receive separate payment from
Medicare for packaged items and supplies, and hospitals may not bill
beneficiaries separately for any such packaged items and supplies whose
costs are recognized and paid for within the national OPPS payment rate
for the associated procedure or service. (Transmittal A-01-133, a
Program Memorandum issued to Intermediaries on November 20, 2001,
explains in greater detail the rules regarding separate payment for
packaged services.) Hospitals bill for costs directly related and
integral to performing a procedure or furnishing a service using a
revenue center or packaged HCPCS code (status indicator ``N''). As
discussed earlier in section III.A.2 of the preamble, we list the
packaged services, by revenue center, that we use to calculate per-
service costs.
As specified in the regulations at Sec. 419.2(b), costs directly
related and integral to performing a procedure or furnishing a service
on an outpatient basis are included in the determination of OPPS
payment rates for the procedure or service. In the August 9, 2002
proposed rule, we provided some illustrations of situations in which
drugs are considered to be supplies. For example, sedatives
administered to patients while they are in the preoperative area being
prepared for a procedure are supplies that are integral to being able
to perform the procedure. Similarly, mydriatic drops instilled into the
eye to dilate the pupils, anti-inflammatory drops, antibiotic
ointments, and ocular hypotensives that are administered to the patient
immediately before, during, or immediately following an ophthalmic
procedure are considered an integral part of the procedure without
which the procedure could not be performed. The costs of these items
are packaged into and reflected within the OPPS payment rate for the
procedure. Likewise, barium or low osmolar contrast media are supplies
that are integral to a diagnostic imaging procedure as is the topical
solution used with photodynamic therapy furnished at the hospital to
treat non-hyperkeratotic actinic keratosis lesions of the face or
scalp. Local anesthetics such as marcaine, lidocaine (with or without
epinephrine) and antibiotic ointments such as bacitracin, placed on a
wound or surgical incision at the completion of a procedure, are other
examples we cited in the proposed rule. The hospital furnishes these
items while the patient is in the hospital and registered as an
outpatient for the purpose of receiving a therapy, treatment,
procedure, or service. These and other such supplies may be furnished
pre-operatively, while the patient is being prepared for a procedure;
intra-operatively, while the procedure is being performed; or post-
operatively, while the patient is in the recovery area prior to
discharge. Or, these items may be part of an E/M service furnished
during a clinic visit or in the emergency department. All of these
supplies are directly related and integral to the performance of a
separately payable therapy, treatment, procedure, or service with which
they are furnished. Therefore, we do not generally recognize them as
separately payable services. We package their cost into the cost of the
primary procedure, and we pay for them as part of the APC payment.
We received several comments concerning the treatment of drugs as
supplies, which are summarized below, along with our responses.
Comment: Several commenters asked for clarification of CMS's policy
with respect to self-administered drugs, claiming the discussion in the
preamble which lists examples of drugs, including self-administered
drugs, that are packaged and paid as integral to an outpatient service
conflicts with section 1861(s)(2) of the Act and CMS manuals which
consider self-administered drugs to be non-covered.
Response: Our policy is based on the premise that certain drugs are
so integral to a treatment or procedure that the treatment or procedure
could not be performed without them. Because such drugs are so clearly
a component part of the procedure or treatment, we believe that they
are more appropriately considered as supplies and should be packaged as
supplies into the APC payment for the procedure or treatment. Moreover,
the payment for packaged supplies is included in the APC payment for
the procedure or treatment, so beneficiaries should not be separately
billed for them.
Comment: A commenter stated that virtually all drugs furnished in
the outpatient setting are integral to an outpatient service and asked
that CMS clarify those circumstances when usually self-administered
drugs would not be considered integral to a service and therefore, non-
covered.
Response: A drug would be treated as a packaged supply in cases
where, although the drug is not separately payable, it is directly
related and integral to a procedure or treatment and is required to be
provided to a patient in order for a hospital to perform the procedure
or treatment during a hospital outpatient encounter. A drug would not
be treated as a packaged supply if it failed to meet these conditions.
For example, we would not treat as packaged supplies any drugs that are
given to a patient for their continued use at home after leaving the
hospital. Another example would be a situation where a patient who is
receiving an outpatient chemotherapy treatment develops a headache. Any
medication given the patient for the headache would not meet the
conditions necessary to be treated as a packaged supply. Similarly, if
a patient who is undergoing surgery needs his or her daily insulin or
hypertension medication, the medication would not be treated as a
packaged supply.
Comment: A commenter from a teaching hospital indicated that
revenue code 819, which is required for the acquisition of bone marrow
or blood-derived peripheral stem cells, is bundled into the charge for
the transplantation procedure, CPT 38240. The commenter noted that the
transplant CPT code pays approximately $350-$400; however, charges for
acquiring stem cells are generally $25,000-$35,000 each. Therefore, the
commenter recommended that we create
[[Page 66768]]
a new biological pass-through code for the stem cells until we can
build the cost of the acquisition into the procedure, and the code
should be retroactive to January 1, 2002.

the procedure, and the code should be retroactive to January 1, 2002.
Response: We understand the commenter's concern. Pass-through
payments, after December 31, 2002, will only be made for medical
devices, drugs, or biologicals in accordance with section
1833(t)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act. Stems cells are not medical devices nor
do they meet the statutory prerequisite for calling these items ``drugs
and biologicals,'' as stated in sections 1861(t)(A) and (B) of the Act.
For example, stems cells do not receive FDA approval and are not listed
in the United States Pharmacopoeia.
The commenter indicates that the hospital is not being paid
adequately for stem cell acquisition costs. However, the commenter
should note that hospitals should be reporting all charges associated
with the purchase of stem cells under Revenue Code 819. Therefore, to
the extent that hospitals are billing a charge for the cost of
acquiring stem cells under Revenue Code 819, those costs would be
packaged into the median cost of CPT 38240 and be reflected in the APC
payment rate. These services may also qualify for outlier payments.
Separate APCs for Drugs Not Eligible for Transitional Pass-Through
Payment
There are certain new technology drugs and biologicals that are not
eligible for transitional pass-through payments but for which we have
made separate payment. Beginning with the April 7, 2000 rule (65 FR
18476), we created separate APCs for these drugs and biologicals as
well as devices. We proposed to create temporary individual APC groups
for the various drugs classified as tissue plasminogen activators and
other thromobolytic agents that are used to treat patients with
myocardial infarctions as well as certain vaccines to allow separate
payment so as not to discourage their use where appropriate. In the
case of blood and blood products, wide variations in patient
requirements convinced us that we should pay for these items separately
rather than packaging their costs into the procedural APCs. Moreover,
the Secretary's Advisory Council on Blood Safety and Access recommended
that blood and blood products be paid separately to ensure that to
minimize incentives that would be inconsistent with the promotion of
blood safety and access.
In the case of the other drugs and vaccines that we proposed not
package into payment for visits or procedures, we paid separately for
them because we wanted to avoid creating an incentive to cease
providing these drugs when they were medically indicated.
We based the payment rate for the APCs for these drugs and
biologicals on median hospital acquisition costs using 2001 claims
data. We set beneficiary copayment amounts for these drug and
biological APCs at 20 percent of the payment amount. In 2003 we will
use status indicator ``K'' to denote the APCs for drugs and biologicals
(including blood and blood products) and certain brachytherapy seeds
that are paid separately from and in addition to the procedure or
treatment with which they are associated but that are not eligible for
transitional pass-through payment.
General
BBRA provided for special transitional pass-through payments for a
period of 2 to 3 years for the following drugs and biologicals (pass-
through payments for devices are addressed in section IV.C. of the
preamble):
[sbull] Current orphan drugs, as designated under section 526 of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
[sbull] Current drugs and biologic agents used for treatment of
cancer.
[sbull] Current radiopharmaceutical drugs and biological products.
[sbull] New drugs and biological agents.
In this context, ``current'' refers to those items for which
hospital outpatient payment was being made on August 1, 2000, the date
on which the OPPS was implemented. A ``new'' drug or biological is a
product that is not paid under the OPPS as a ``current'' drug or
biological, was not paid as a hospital outpatient service before
January 1, 1997, and for which the cost is not insignificant in
relation to the payment for the APC with which it is associated.
Section 1833(t)(6)(D)(i) of the Act sets the payment rate for pass-
through eligible drugs as the amount by which the amount determined
under section 1842(o) of the Act, that is, 95 percent of the applicable
average wholesale price (AWP), exceeds the difference between 95
percent of the applicable AWP and the portion of the otherwise
applicable fee schedule amount (that is, the APC payment rate) that the
Secretary determines is associated with the drug or biological.
Therefore, in order to determine the pass-through payment amount, we
first had to determine the cost that was packaged for the drug or
biological within its related APC. In order to determine this amount,
we used data on hospital acquisition costs for drugs from a survey that
is described more fully in the April 7, 2000 and the November 30, 2001
final rules. The ratio of hospital acquisition cost, on average, to AWP
that we used is as follows:
[sbull] For sole-source drugs, the ratio of acquisition cost to AWP
equals 0.68.
[sbull] For multisource drugs, the ratio of acquisition cost to AWP
equals 0.61.
[sbull] For multisource drugs with generic competitors, the ratio
of acquisition cost to AWP equals 0.43.
Section 1833(t)(6)(C)(i) of the Act specifies that the duration of
transitional pass-through payments for current drugs and biologicals
must be no less than 2 years nor any longer than 3 years beginning on
the date that the OPPS is implemented. Therefore, the latest date for
which current drugs that have been in transitional pass-through status
since August 1, 2000 will be eligible for transitional pass-through
payments is July 31, 2003. We proposed to remove these drugs from
transitional pass-through status effective January 1, 2003 because the
statute gives us the discretion to do so and because we generally
implement annual OPPS updates on January 1 of each year. We would be in
violation of the law if we were to not remove these drugs and
biologicals from transitional pass-through status by August 1, 2003.
The next update of the OPPS that will go into place will not be
effective until January 1, 2004, at which time the statute's 3-year
limit on pass-through payments for these drugs would have been
exceeded. We further proposed to remove from transitional pass-through
status, beginning January 1, 2003, those drugs for which transitional
pass-through payments were made effective on or prior to January 1,
2001 because the law gives us the discretion to do so and we believe
that, to the extent possible, payments should be made under the OPPS,
without pass-through payment, when the law permits, as it does in this
case.
As explained above, our policy has been to package payment for
drugs and
[[Page 66769]]
biologicals into the payment for the procedure or service to which the
drug is integral and directly related. In general, packaging the costs
of items and services into the payment for the primary procedure or
service with which it is associated encourages hospital efficiencies
and also enables hospitals to manage their resources with maximum
flexibility. Packaging costs into a single aggregate payment for a
service procedure or episode of care is a fundamental principle that
distinguishes a prospective payment system from a fee schedule. Our
proposal to package the costs of devices that we discuss in section
IV.C of this preamble is based on this principle. As we refine the OPPS
in the future, we intend to continue to package, to the maximum
possible extent, the costs of any items and services that are furnished
with an outpatient procedure or service into the APC payment for
services with which it is billed.
In spite of our commitment to package as many costs as possible, we
are aware of concerns that were presented at the April 5, 2002 Town
Hall meeting and that have been brought to our attention by various
interested parties, that packaging payments for certain drugs,
especially those that are particularly expensive or rarely used, might
result in insufficient payments to hospitals, which could adversely
affect beneficiary access to medically necessary services.
The options that we considered included packaging the costs of all
drugs and biologicals, both those with status indicator ``K'' in 2002
and those that would no longer receive pass-through payments in 2003,
or continuing to make separate payment for both categories of drugs and
biologicals through separate APCs. After careful consideration of the
various options for 2003, we proposed to package the cost of many drugs
for which separate payment is made currently. But we also proposed to
continue making separate payment for certain orphan drugs (as discussed
below), blood and blood products, vaccines that are paid under a
benefit separate from the outpatient hospital benefit (that is,
influenza, pneumococcal pneumonia, and hepatitis B), and certain higher
cost drugs as explained below. The payment rates for those drugs for
which we would make separate payment in 2003 would be an APC payment
rate based on a relative weight calculated in the same way that
relative weights for procedural APCs are calculated.
Comments on this proposal and our responses are summarized below:
Comment: We received many comments regarding the significant
reduction in the payment rates for numerous drugs and biologicals that
are sunsetting from their transitional pass-through status. The
commenters asserted that proposed payment rates are significantly lower
than the costs hospitals incur in acquiring and dispensing these
products. As a result, inadequate payment may drive hospitals to
discontinue stocking these products, and thus threaten beneficiary
access to important drugs and biologicals. The commenters attributed
the dramatic reduction in payment rates on the flaws in the 2001 claims
data and deficiencies in the methodology that was used to derive the
APC median costs. Commenters suggested numerous ways to correct the
payment rates until reliable and sufficient claims data became
available. Commenters proposed the following suggestions: maintain
separate pass-through payments for APCs whose proposed payment rates
decreased; pay a flat amount per item on a per patient basis; develop a
rate setting methodology that does not depend upon the hospital's
ability to record the proper number of units of a drug utilized; use
information provided by commenters to set the 2003 payment rates;
revise payment rates to include payment for the drug and related
pharmacy overhead costs; pay 90 to 100 percent of AWP for non-pass-
through drugs; use an appropriate ratio of acquisition cost to AWP as
estimated in the proposed rule; conduct a new external survey of
hospitals' drug acquisition costs to obtain more current data; or pay
according to the median hospital cost for the item.
Response: As discussed elsewhere in this rule, in order to lessen
the impact of the dramatic reduction in the proposed payment rates for
many of the drugs and biologicals from 2002 to 2003, we decided that
the most appropriate mechanism is to apply a dampening option to all of
the APCs that decreased in median costs by more than 15 percent. For
these APCs, we limited the reduction in median costs from 2002 median
costs to half of the difference between the total proposed reduction
and 15 percent. However, budget neutrality adjustments needed to
compensate for the effects of this dampening subsequently reduced
payment rates of all APCs by an additional percentage. Also, we applied
a special dampening option to all blood and blood products and
hemophilia clotting factors that limited the decrease in their payment
rates to about 15 percent. These adjustments yielded significant
moderation in the reduction of the final 2003 payment rates. These
adjustments are described in detail in section III.B of the preamble.
After carefully reviewing all of the comments, a dampening option
seemed most plausible and practical for us to undertake. Most of the
recommendations proposed by the commenters were not feasible or not
suitable for the purposes of OPPS.
Comment: Many commenters indicated that the median costs derived
from the claims data was not reflective of the hospitals' true costs
for acquiring and dispensing these drugs and biologicals.
Response: We agree with this point; however, the commenters should
note that we intend to pay only for the cost of acquiring the drug
under a drug APC and not for costs associated with the administration
of the drug. Costs associated with administering the drug and with
other pharmacy overhead are captured in pharmacy revenue cost centers
and reflected in the median cost of APCs involving drug administration.
Therefore, we believe that it is not appropriate for us to duplicate
these costs in both the administration and drug APCs.
Comment: Several commenters noted that many drugs and biologicals
were packaged into administration APCs; however, they were surprised to
see decreases in the proposed payment rates for several of the
administration APCs. The commenters stated that the addition of the
costs of the packaged products should have caused the APC median cost
levels to increase, thus their payment rates should have also increased
compared to 2002. However, the commenters assert that the proposed
payment rates for several administration APCs in which the drugs were
packaged does not adequately cover the acquisition cost of the drugs
themselves. Thus, they recommended that we reevaluate our data to
ensure that costs of the packaged drug were included with the data for
the applicable administration APCs, or otherwise explain how we plan to
reimburse hospitals for the costs of the packaged drugs; retain the
2002 payment rates for administration services and pay for the drugs
separately; or use our authority to limit any payment reductions for
certain services. One commenter suggested that we conduct a survey of
cancer centers to determine the true cost of infusion procedures and
make an adjustment to the APC rates based on our finding.
Response: After reanalyzing our data, we were able to verify that
the median costs of the drugs were indeed packaged into the median
costs of the
[[Page 66770]]
administration APCs. We acknowledge that the median costs of several
administration APCs before we packaged drug costs declined between
those median costs used to set the 2002 rates and those median costs
developed from the 2001 claims for the 2003 rates. This decline
occurred because, in setting the 2002 rates, we packaged in 75 percent
of the cost of pass through devices we projected would be billed with
the administration codes, based on manufacturer prices. The 2001 claims
data, however, did not reflect the charges that we predicted would be
billed for such devices. An increase in the median cost of a service
does not guarantee that the payment rate for the service will increase
because payment rates under the OPPS are based on relative costs and
the budget neutrality adjustment. If the relative cost of a service
increases at a lower rate than other services, the payment rate may
actually decline. In addition, all rates are affected by the budget
neutrality adjustment that has lowered rates over the past several
years. (We note that it is possible for the budget neutrality
adjustment to increase rates as occurred in the proposed rates.) As
noted elsewhere, for APCs whose median costs decreased by more than 15
percent from 2002 to 2003, the dampening option described elsewhere in
this rule limits the decreases in their payment rates.
Comment: A commenter requested that we describe the methodology
used to calculate the payment rates for sunsetting pass-through drugs
that are being assigned to separate APCs.
Response: We have provided a detailed description of the
methodology we used in the calculation of the APC payment rates for
sunsetting drugs and biologicals in section III.B of the preamble.
Comment: A major hospital association supported our proposal to
incorporate pass-through drugs into APC rates. However, the commenter
was concerned that many of these same drugs would continue to receive
95 percent of AWP in other settings, and differential payments may
result in patient care being directed out of the hospital outpatient
setting and into physician offices for non-clinical reasons.
Response: We believe that the payment rates for sunsetting pass-
through drugs and biologicals reflect hospital acquisition cost to a
sufficient extent so that hospitals will not, in general, stop
furnishing these products to beneficiaries. While Medicare payment in
other settings will be higher, the extent of response that may be
expected to these payment differentials is unclear. We note that the
same differentials prevailed for years prior to the introduction of the
outpatient prospective payment system. We believe that the appropriate
policy response is to address the use of AWP as a basis for payment in
non-hospital sites.
Comment: A state hospital association indicated that confusion
exists among hospitals over which drugs can be self-administered and
that instructions from fiscal intermediaries are inconsistent and/or
confusing. The commenter requested that we publish a definitive list of
drugs that are to be considered to be self-administrable, and thus is
not part of covered services. Another commenter from a hospital urged
us to clarify whether self-administrable drugs (both those that are
integral and non-integral to the patient's procedure) in outpatient and
observation settings are the patient's responsibility or should be
packaged under procedure APCs. Another commenter from a hospital
organization suggested that we exempt hospitals from determining which
drugs should be classified as self-administered or allow hospitals to
classify drugs based on the dosing form and pursue payment from the
beneficiary.
Response: On May 15, 2002, we issued Transmittal AB-02-072 entitled
``Medicare Payment for Drugs and Biologicals Furnished Incident to a
Physician's Service.'' The program memorandum gives instructions to the
fiscal intermediaries for applying the exclusion to drugs that are
usually self-administered by the patient. Each fiscal intermediary
makes its determination on each drug based on whether the drug meets
all of the program requirements for coverage. The payment rates that we
are finalizing in this rule only indicate the Medicare payment amounts
under OPPS when a drug is covered by Medicare; therefore, determination
of a payment amount does not represent a determination that the
Medicare program covers the drug. We discuss elsewhere in this preamble
how Medicare makes payments for drugs that are considered to be
supplies.
Comment: Several commenters suggested that we publish various sorts
of additional information about the methodology we used to calculate
the payment rates, including technical details of the methodology used
in analysis of the 2001 claims.
Response: We do not believe the final rule is the appropriate
vehicle for conveying the extensive background technical detail that
may be of interest to the analytical community. However, we plan to
hold a meeting in December 2002 or January 2003 to address the
questions these commenters or other interested parties may have about
our methodology.
Comment: Several commenters were concerned that fiscal
intermediaries have addressed the issue of drug units of service with
respect to billing and waste differently, and requested that we provide
clear and consistent guidance to the fiscal intermediaries as well to
providers on how to define ``waste.''
Response: In the fall of 1996, we issued a memorandum to our
regional offices with guidance regarding our current policy on drug and
biological product wastage. Although this memorandum focused on
guidance for carriers, it overall reflects our current policy for drug
and biological product wastage.
We recognize that some drugs may be available only in packaged
amounts that exceed the needs of an individual patient. Once the drug
is reconstituted in the hospital's pharmacy, it may have a limited
shelf life. Since an individual patient may receive less than the fully
reconstituted amount, we encourage hospitals to schedule patients in
such a way that the hospital can use the drug most efficiently.
However, if the hospital must discard the remainder of a vial after
administering part of it to a Medicare patient, the provider may bill
for the amount of drug discarded along with the amount administered.
Example 1: Drug X is available only in a 100-unit size. A
hospital schedules three Medicare patients to receive drug X on the
same day within the designated shelf life of the product. An
appropriate hospital staff member administers 30 units to each
patient. The remaining 10 units are billed to Medicare on the
account of the last patient. Therefore, 30 units are billed on
behalf of the first patient seen and 30 units are billed on behalf
of the second patient seen. Forty units are billed on behalf of the
last patient seen because the hospital had to discard 10 units at
that point.
Example 2: An appropriate hospital staff must administer 30
units of drug X to a Medicare patient, and it is not practical to
schedule another patient who requires the same drug. For example,
the hospital has only one patient who requires drug X, or the
hospital sees the patient for the first time and did not know the
patient's condition. The hospital bills for 100 units on behalf of
the patient, and Medicare pays for 100 units.
Comment: A few commenters urged us to provide a crosswalk
identifying which drugs are being associated with which APCs and in
what amounts, to help ensure that costs are being appropriately
transferred to and allocated among APCs.
Response: Our methodology did not rely on a crosswalk, and we do
not have one available. In our methodology, we
[[Page 66771]]
packaged drugs and biologicals that fell below the $150 median cost per
line threshold into the procedure APCs they were billed from April 1,
2001 to March 31, 2002. Interested parties may analyze the claims data
that is available to the public to determine the extent to which the
costs of specific drugs and biologicals were included in payment rates
of the procedure APCs.
Comment: A commenter expressed concern related to the adenosine
products J0150 and J0151. The commenter stated that although these two
codes reflect different uses and doses of the adenosine products, OPPS
only recognizes billing only under the lowest dose of J0150 and J0151
is assigned a status indicator of E. Consequently, the hospitals have
been billing for both products under code J0150. The commenter
requested that we clear the confusion that exists among hospitals when
billing for these products by reinstating J0151 under a separately paid
APC with an adequate payment rate and revising J0150 so that the code
is specific to its actual use.
Response: After reviewing the comment, we assigned a status
indicator of N to J0150 to indicate that J0150 will be packaged in
2003; and changed the status indicator for J0151 from E to K and
assigned it to APC 0917.
Comment: One commenter requested that we update the HCPCS
description for all drugs to accurately report all medications in the
way manufacturers currently package them. The commenter claimed that
our current use of codes causes confusion and has the potential to
create reimbursement problems for providers and the Medicare program.
Response: To the extent possible, when creating the ``C'' codes
used to report drugs and biologicals eligible for transitional pass-
through payment under OPPS, we employ the lowest common measurement of
dosage for each drug so that hospitals can bill the number of units
that are required to treat the patient by using multiple units of a
single code. As drugs and biologicals retire from pass-through status,
we expect to retire the ``C'' codes for these items. We expect these
items will receive appropriate ``non-C'' HCPCS codes.
Comment: Several commenters claimed that our proposal to package
many of the non-pass-through, lower cost drugs and biologicals with
HCPCS codes for therapeutic administration is a violation of the ``two-
times'' rule. Therefore, they recommended that we continue to pay for
all drugs and biologicals separately or by revising the APCs in which
the drugs are packaged.
Response: We do not agree with the commenters' assertion that
packaging of drugs and biologicals results in violations of the two-
times rule, stated in section 1833(t)(2) of the Act. We understand the
commenters' confusion and attempt to provide a clarification on how we
apply the ``two-times'' rule to determine APC structures. Most APC's
consist of one or more services, which reported with CPT or HCPCS G
codes, that are similar clinically and in terms of resource use. Many
individual items (for example, sterile supplies or pharmaceuticals such
as anesthetic agents) are integral to the procedure, and thus we have
packaged them with the procedure. In some instances, such as APCs for
transitional pass-through drugs and devices, the APC includes no
procedure, and the APC is used only to pay for a specific item.
The ``two times'' rule requires that the highest median cost of a
service or item within an APC cannot be more than two times greater
than the lowest median cost of a service or item within that APC. We
apply the ``two-times'' rule to the total cost of each procedure (which
includes items that are packaged within that procedure). In the case of
APCs containing only items, we apply the rule to the cost of each item
that is grouped in the APC. We do not apply the two times rule to the
variation in cost of individual items or ancillary services we
attribute to a single HCPCS code.
If we were to attempt to apply the rule to all items within the
various procedures, accounting for the variation in cost of supplies
such as bandages, reusable instruments, and other medical supplies
would be a practical impossibility. It would lead to a highly
fragmented set of payment cells and a greatly more complex payment
system that would reduce the incentives for effective management by
hospitals. We do not believe the Congress would have intended such a
result.
Consistent with the principles of prospective payment, we package
the cost of as many items as possible into the median cost of a
procedure. Therefore, our payment methodology for 2003 includes
packaging the costs of drugs and biologicals with median costs below
$150 per line into the costs of the procedures with which they were
billed. We reviewed the median cost of the procedures used for
administration of drugs and biologicals, before and after we packaged
the costs of drugs and biologicals. Our review indicates that the final
median cost appropriately accounts for the administration procedure and
the cost of the administered drug and/or biologic.
Comment: Numerous commenters were concerned about the proposed
reduction in payment rates for several radiopharmaceutical products.
They asserted that hospitals would not be reimbursed adequately for
these products, and thus, beneficiary access could be negatively
impacted. They recommended that we should not base payments on the 2001
claims data and use a different methodology instead. They suggested
that we estimate acquisitions costs using the proposed ratios for
acquisition cost to AWP based on analysis conducted by the agency;
maintain the 2002 payment levels; or create new APCs using cost ranges
and assign radiopharmaceuticals to APCs based on their costs, as
determined by AWP plus overhead fees, or another proxy for actual
hospital costs.
Response: We are concerned about the possible effects of payment
reductions on beneficiary access, and accordingly, we have included
radiopharmaceuticals in the dampening policy described section III.B.
of the Preamble.
Comment: Several commenters were concerned with our proposal to
package numerous radiopharmaceutical products. They claimed that given
the problems with the claims data and the great variation in the cost
and use of radiopharmaceuticals for the same procedure, all
radiopharmaceuticals should be paid under their own APCs, in addition
to their associated nuclear medicine procedures. This would assure
appropriate reimbursement for both the product and procedure, and would
be the best way to capture hospital costs for radiopharmaceuticals in
future claims data.
Response: While we acknowledge the commenters' concerns, we believe
that the most appropriate payment structure is one that packages
services together to the extent it is reasonable to do so, and thus
presents hospitals with bundled payments that permit them to
effectively manage resource allocation in the treatment of particular
patients. Accordingly, we have not adopted this suggestion.
Comment: A manufacturer and a trade association suggested that we
could improve the accuracy of the APC payment rates by establishing new
revenue codes to accurately capture data and calculate costs for
radiophamaceuticals in future years.
Response: While we do want to improve the accuracy of APC payment
rates, we are reluctant to impose new requirements on hospital cost
reports. In addition, the creation of new revenue centers must be made
through a process that includes other payers as well as representatives
of various providers.
[[Page 66772]]
Therefore, we will not adopt this suggestion for 2003. As discussed in
section III. B of this final rule, we expect to address the issue of
improving the accuracy of our data further in the future.
Comment: A hospital organization indicated that there is a
competitive disadvantage between different types of providers (clinic,
Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities (IDTF), and outpatient
hospital) and their payment policies for Low Osmolar Contrast Media
(LOCM). The commenter stated that in a clinic or IDTF, LOMC receives
separate payment when clinical conditions are met. However, when LOCM
is administered in an outpatient hospital without an intrathecal
procedure or if one of the Medicare coverage conditions is non-covered,
hospitals are expected to issue an ABN to the patient. The commenter
recommended that we allow hospitals to bill for LOCM even when the
patient does not meet conditions, or instruct the clinics and IDTFs to
seek ABNs for LOCM in non-covered circumstances. A state hospital
association suggested that we eliminate the medical necessity
requirement for LOCM since it is not applicable to hospital outpatient
services.
Response: These suggestions involve several different Medicare
payment systems, and appropriate resolution of this concern will
require further analysis. We will consider this issue further in the
future.
Comment: One commenter requested clarification on whether there
will be any more changes to the payment calculation for HCPCS C1775
(FDG, per dose) other than what is proposed in Table X of the proposed
rule.
Response: According to our new policy for radiopharmaceuticals, as
described elsewhere in this final rule, FDG will no longer be granted
pass-through status in 2003. It will instead be paid separately under
its own APC and be assigned to a status indicator of K.
Comment: Another commenter requested that we describe our waste
policy on whether a hospital may bill for a medication that is ordered
and mixed, but not administered to the patient due to a change in
patient status or a no-show by the patient for that day's visit. If the
drug cannot be used later or on another patient, the hospital would
still incur the costs.
Response: If the drug is not administered to a Medicare
beneficiary, then payment may not be made by the Medicare Program.
Packaging Issue
Comment: Several commenters indicated that our methodology of
analyzing single line-items on drug claims is not consistent with how
hospitals bill for certain particular drugs and biologicals. This
inconsistency particularly affects whether a drug or biological falls
below the $150 median cost per line threshold or not. They claimed that
we incorrectly assumed ``that a single administration of a drug was
billed as a single line item on a claim and that the correct number of
units was placed in the `units' field of the claim form.'' Commenters
noted that this was not always true because hospitals often bill for
certain drugs using multiple lines in a claim that represents one
patient encounter. They indicated that in our calculation of the median
cost per line for a drug, we multiplied the median cost per unit of the
drug by the average number of units billed per line. Thus, our
methodology does not take into account all of the units of a drug
administered during one encounter if the units were billed in multiple
lines on the claim, and consequently, may not reflect the full cost of
delivering the drug.
Response: For 2003, we chose to use the $150 median cost per line
threshold level to determine whether to package a drug, as opposed to
another packaging criterion, for the reasons of administrative
simplicity, administrability, and responsiveness. However, in our
analysis of the data, we observed that instances where a drug was
billed on multiple lines in a claim were rare (less than 1 percent of
total billings for drugs). We reiterate that our intent is to review
and refine the packaging methodology in the future and will take the
commenters' concern into account.
Orphan Drugs
We recognize that orphan drugs that are used solely for an orphan
condition or conditions are generally expensive and, by definition, are
rarely used. We believe that if the cost of these drugs were packaged
into the payment for an associated procedure or visit, the payment for
the procedure might be insufficient to compensate a hospital for the
typically high cost of this special type of drug. Therefore, we
proposed to establish separate APCs to pay for those orphan drugs that
are used solely for orphan conditions.
To identify the orphan drugs for which we would continue to make
separate payment, we applied the following criteria:
[sbull] The drug must be designated as an orphan drug by FDA and
approved by FDA for the orphan condition.
[sbull] The current United States Pharmacopoeia Drug Information
(USPDI) shows that the drug had neither an approved use for other than
an orphan condition nor an off label use for conditions other than the
orphan condition. There are three orphan drugs that are used solely for
orphan conditions for which we proposed to make separate payment: J0205
Alglucerase injection; J0256 Alpha 1 proteinase inhibitor; and J09300
Gemtuzumab ozogamicin.
Comment: Several commenters stated that the proposed payment rates
for the orphan drugs would grossly underpay hospitals for providing
these drugs to patients. They recommended that we pay for orphan drugs
according to current year acquisition and actual total costs of
providing the products; maintain the 2002 payment levels; or remove
from them from the OPPS system and set payment according to the
methodology used in the physician office and other non-inpatient
settings.
Response: After reviewing the comments, we have decided to remove
the three orphan drugs that do not have any other non-orphan
indications from the OPPS system and will pay for them on a reasonable
cost basis. Other drugs that have orphan status according to the FDA
will be partly protected by the dampening options described in section
III.B of this final rule.
Comment: Several commenters objected to what they characterized as
our definition of ``orphan drug.'' These commenters believe we should
treat comparably all drugs and biologicals that have been designated as
under section 526 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Response: We emphasize that we are not creating a new definition of
orphan drugs; instead, we continued to rely on the definition stated in
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. However, within the set of
drugs that the FDA has identified as orphan drugs, we have identified a
subset of three drugs that have only orphan indications and decided to
remove them from the outpatient prospective payment system. We have
distinguished these drugs from other orphan drugs because of their low
volume of patient use and their lack of other indications, which means
they can rely on no other source of payment. Many orphan drugs are
approved for multiple indications, including non-orphan indications
that have significant patient use that provide the drugs with financial
support. For example, epoetin alfa was originally identified as an
[[Page 66773]]
orphan drug for use in ESRD patients; however, currently it is being
used extensively in patients with chemotherapy-induced anemia. Once a
drug is granted orphan status, no further effort is made to update this
status, even though indications for use may change substantially with
experience. After consulting with our clinical advisors, we have
decided to remove from OPPS the three orphan drugs that have no other
non-orphan indications. We recognize the importance of all orphan
drugs, however, and accordingly we have applied the dampening policies
described in section III.B of the preamble to the other orphan drugs.
Blood and Blood Products
From the onset of the OPPS, we have made separate payment for blood
and blood products either in APCs with status indicator ``K'' or as
pass-through drugs and biologicals with status indicator ``G'' rather
than packaging them into payment for the procedures with which they
were administered. As we explained in the April 7, 2000 final rule (65
FR 18449), the high degree of variability in blood use among patients
could result in payment inequities if the costs of blood and blood
products were packaged with their administration. We also want to
ensure that costs associated with blood safety testing are fully
recognized. The safety of the nation's blood supply continues to be
among the highest priorities of the Secretary's council on Blood Safety
and Access. Therefore, we proposed to continue to pay separately for
blood and blood products.
Comment: Several major blood collection organizations, specialty
physician groups, a large trade association, hospital associations, and
individual hospitals supported our decision to maintain separate APCs
for blood and blood products; however, the commenters were concerned
with the reduction in payment rates for these products in the proposed
rule.
The commenters provided several suggestions. They recommended that
we base the payment rates for blood products on current year
acquisition costs and actual total costs rather than on hospital claims
from previous years, and use industry data on the current hospital
costs of blood and blood products that have been submitted to us;
consider costs related to additional costs that hospitals incur in
storing and preparing units for transfusion when assigning APC relative
weights to blood and blood products; continue the 2002 payment rates
until more accurate information on the actual costs of blood and blood
products are gathered; or reimburse hospitals on a reasonable cost
basis for blood and blood products.
Response: After carefully reviewing the comments and comparing the
industry data against our data, we were convinced that the proposed
reduction in payment rates for many of the blood and blood products
would result in payment that is significantly lower than hospital
acquisition costs. Thus, inadequate reimbursement may compromise access
to beneficiaries and the safety of these products. We continue to be
aware of the variability in the use of blood and blood products in
various procedures, and by our desire to recognize costs of new tests
being performed on blood, we have decided to apply a special dampening
option to blood and blood products that had significant reductions in
payment rates from 2002 to 2003. For these products, as described in
section III.B of the preamble, we limited the decrease in their median
costs by 11 percent, which limited the decrease in payment rates to
approximately 15 percent. We note that the APCs for these products are
intended to cover product costs; costs for storage, etc., are packaged
into the APCs for the procedures with which the products are used.
Comment: A commenter from an individual hospital disagreed with our
proposal to not change the current OPPS payment policy for
transfusions. The commenter stated that their hospital has more than
the average number of cases that require more than one unit of blood,
and thus, averaging the payment would adversely affect specialty
hospitals.
Response: For transfusion services that are paid under OPPS,
hospitals can bill for the administration of the transfusion and the
number of units of blood transfused. With the payment rates for
transfusion and blood and blood products that are in the final rule, we
believe that hospitals, including those that specialize in the
transfusion of multiple units of blood, will receive adequate payment
for transfusion services. The hospitals will receive separate payment
for the blood in addition to the APC payment for the transfusion
service. Even though we will not change our payment policy for
transfusions for 2003, this is an issue that we will continue to
monitor in the future.
Comment: Two commenters requested that we provide special
comprehensive billing and coding guidelines in the area of blood, blood
processing, and transfusion medicine, and the proper use or non-use of
the transfusion medicine codes. They stated that Transmittal A-01-50
does not clarify all of the confusing issues that hospitals currently
experience in billing and coding for blood-related services.
Response: We acknowledge that need for comprehensive billing and
coding guidelines in the areas mentioned by the commenters and agree
that the program memorandum that was issued previously may require
further clarification. Therefore, this is an area that we expect to
focus on during the upcoming year.
Comment: Several hospitals, advocacy organizations, manufacturers,
and beneficiaries were concerned that the proposed decrease in
reimbursement for certain clotting factors would not enable hospitals
to recover the acquisition costs of the products. They indicated that
inadequate reimbursement would create incentives for hospitals to not
provide these products at all or to provide only those clotting factors
that limit financial loss. Commenters also indicated that given the
high cost of the clotting factors, the average cost to charge ratio
methodology that might apply to other drugs does not apply to clotting
factors, and the proposal would shift patients to the inpatient setting
where costs of care are higher. Their recommendations were that we
adjust the proposed payment with a rate consistent with the average
acquisition cost of the drugs; maintain the 2002 payment rates; use
current hospital inpatient payment rates in place of the proposed
rates; or remove from the OPPS system and set payment according to the
methodology used in the physician office and other non-inpatient
settings.
Response: We recognize the importance of insuring adequate
reimbursement and access to hemophilia clotting factors for our
beneficiaries, as did the Congress when it created a separate benefit
category for clotting factors in section 1861(s)(2)(I) of the Act.
Accordingly, we have adopted a provision to insure that the payment
rates for these products does not decrease by more than approximately
15 percent from 2002 to 2003.
Comment: Several commenters were very concerned with the proposed
payment rates for plasma products and their recombinant analogs
therapies. They argued that reduction in payments would create
significant patient access problems since the hospitals will be unable
to recoup costs incurred in acquiring and dispensing such therapies.
They recommended that we pay for these products on a reasonable cost
basis; revise the payment rates significantly to allow hospitals to
recover their acquisition and dispensing costs; base payment on current
acquisition costs and actual total costs
[[Page 66774]]
of the products in outpatient settings; maintain payment at the 2002
level; or establish an add-on payment to be based on a national formula
derived outside of OPPS.
Response: We recognize the importance of these drugs, and
consequently included them in the dampening procedure described section
III.B of the preamble.
Comment: Several commenters urged us to clarify the category of
``blood and blood products'' to include drugs and biologicals that are
derived from plasma fractionation and their biotechnology analogs. They
stated that the rationale for creating separate APCs for blood and
blood products also equally apply to plasma-based products and their
recombinant therapies. These commenters recommended that we continue to
pay for all plasma-derived and recombinant analog therapies in separate
APCs and include them in the category of ``blood and blood products''
as it is done under the FDA's definition of ``blood and blood
products.''
Response: We acknowledge that plasma-based products and their
recombinant therapies are derived from blood however, these products
are highly processed and not manufactured by local blood banks. Upon
consultation with our clinical advisors, we have determined that these
products do not have the same access and safety concerns as other blood
and blood products. Thus, it is reasonable for us to distinguish these
products from other blood and blood products. For the purposes of OPPS,
we will not consider any plasma-derived products and their recombinant
analogs, including albumin and immune globulins and except for
hemophilia clotting factors, to fall under the category of ``blood and
blood products''. Accordingly, we apply to these products the same
packaging procedures applicable to other drugs and biologicals.
Vaccines Covered Under a Benefit Other Than OPPS
Outpatient hospital departments administer large numbers of the
vaccines for influenza (flu), pneumococcal pneumonia (PPV), and
hepatitis B, typically by participating in immunization programs
encouraged by the Secretary because these vaccinations greatly reduce
death and illness in vulnerable populations. In recent years, the
availability and cost of the vaccines (particularly the flu vaccine)
have varied considerably. We want to avoid creating any disincentives
to provide these important preventative services that might result from
packaging their costs into those of primary procedures, visits, or
administration codes. Therefore, we proposed to pay for these vaccines
under OPPS through the establishment of separate APCs.
We received no comments on our proposal to pay for these vaccines
under separate APCs. However, we have had considerable discussion with
providers in the past about the cost to hospitals of influenza and
pneumococcal pneumonia vaccines in particular. In particular, we have
had many discussions in which we were advised by providers that OPPS
payment was insufficient for them to be able to guarantee that they
would be able to offer these important vaccines to Medicare patients
they treat. They cited the timing of updates to OPPS rates as well as
volatility of costs as a result of irregular supplies of these vaccines
as their major concern. Public health officials encourage high risk
individuals, including Medicare beneficiaries, to receive flu
immunitions beginning each September. Each flu season, a new vaccine is
produced; the cost of the vaccine is also typically higher than the
previous year's vaccine cost. Thus, from September through December,
providers paid under the OPPS for administering flu vaccines do not
receive the benefit of the update that occurs in January. In recent
years, the cost of the vaccine has been volatile because of irregular
supplies.
Therefore, we have decided to pay hospitals for influenza and
pneumococcal pneumonia vaccines under reasonable cost methodology.
Section 1833(t)(2)(A)(i) of the Act gives the Secretary discretion to
define outpatient hospital services for purposes of payment under the
OPPS. Until now we have defined it to include influenza and
pneumococcal pneumonia vaccines. However, in view of the importance of
these vaccines to the public health and our strong desire to ensure
that hospitals are paid appropriately for these vaccines, we have
decided to exclude them from OPPS.
We are therefore revising regulations at Sec. 419.21(d)(3) to
remove the words ``influenza'' and ``pneumococcal pneumonia.'' As a
result of this change, hospitals, HHAs and hospices which were paid for
these vaccines under OPPS will be paid reasonable cost for these
vaccines. We will issue further instructions regarding how CORFs will
be paid for these vaccines in 2003 and will issue implementation
instructions for hospitals, HHAs and hospices.
Higher Cost Drugs
While our preferred policy is to package the cost of drugs and
other items into the cost of the procedures with which they are
associated, we are concerned that beneficiary access to care may be
affected by packaging certain higher cost drugs. For this reason, we
proposed to allow payment under separate APCs for high cost drugs for
an additional year while we further study various payment options.
Specifically, we proposed to pay separately for drugs for which the
median cost per line (cost per unit multiplied by the number of units
billed on the claim) exceeded $150, as we briefly describe below. We
provide more detail in the proposed rule regarding the methodology we
used to determine this threshold (67 FR 52124-52125).
To establish a reasonable threshold for determining which drugs we
would pay under separate APCs rather than through packaging, we
calculated the median cost per unit using 2001 claims data for each of
the drugs for which transitional pass-through payment ceases January 1,
2003 and for those additional drugs that we have paid separately
(status indicator ``K'') since the outset of OPPS.
We excluded from these calculations the orphan drugs, vaccines, and
blood and blood products discussed above. Because many drugs are used
and billed in multiple unit doses, we then multiplied the median cost
per unit for the drug by the average number of units that were billed
per line. Once we calculated an approximate median cost per line for
the drug, we then arrayed the median cost per line in ascending order
and examined the distribution. A natural break occurs at $150 per line,
the midpoint of a $10 span between the drug immediately above and below
the $150 point. Within the array, approximately 61 percent of the drugs
fall below the $150 point and 39 percent of the array are above the
point. Among the drugs that we proposed to package are some
radiopharmaceuticals, vaccines, anesthetics, and anticancer agents.
After including the costs of packaged drugs in the services with which
they were provided, we noted that the median costs of those services
increased. We solicited comments that address specific alternative
protocols we might use when several packaged drugs whose total cost
significantly exceeds the applicable APC payment amount may be
administered to a patient on the same day (for example, multiple agent
cancer chemotherapy).
We requested comments on the factors we considered in determining
which drugs to package in 2003. We were particularly interested in
comments for the exclusion of high cost drugs from packaging. We added
that we would continue to analyze the effect
[[Page 66775]]
of our drug-packaging proposal to assess whether the $150 threshold
should be adjusted to avoid significant overpayments or underpayments
for the base APCs relative to the median costs of the individual drugs
packaged into the APCs. Depending on this analysis, we stated that we
may revise our threshold or criteria for packaging in the final rule
for 2003. We expect to further consider each of these exclusions for
packaging when we develop our proposals for the 2004 OPPS.
Although we expect to expand packaging of drugs to package payment
for more drugs into the APC for the services with which they are
billed, we nonetheless, requested comments on alternatives to
packaging. One example of an alternative approach is to use different
criteria from those we propose in this proposed rule to identify the
drugs to package into procedure APCs and the drugs to pay separately.
Another alternative approach would be to create APCs for groups of
drugs based on their costs. Still another approach would be to create
separate APCs for each drug. We emphasized in the proposed rule that we
welcomed a full discussion of the alternatives as we determine the best
way to ensure that hospitals are paid appropriately for the drugs they
administer to the Medicare beneficiaries whom they treat in their
outpatient departments.
Drugs that we pay for separately in 2003 are designated in Addendum
B by status indicator ``K'' or ``G.''
A summary of the comments we received on this proposal and our
responses to them are summarized below.
Comment: Numerous national trade associations, drug manufacturers,
consultants, and other commenters opposed our proposal to package
sunsetting drugs and biologicals that fell below a threshold of $150
median cost per line into procedure APCs. These commenters urged us to
continue to pay separately for drugs and biologicals that were paid
separately in 2002, including those for which pass-through status has
expired. Some recommended that we maintain the 2002 payment levels
until more accurate data could be obtained.
In contrast, one national hospital organization recommended that we
adopt a much higher threshold of $1,000 for a drug to warrant separate
payment and package all other drugs that fall below the threshold.
Furthermore, another national hospital association encouraged us to
expeditiously incorporate into APCs both low and high cost drugs that
will lose their eligibility for transitional pass-through payments,
while limiting separate APC payment only to orphan drugs, blood and
blood products, certain vaccines and extremely costly drugs. The
commenter also stated that integrating payments for packaged services
will be less burdensome for hospitals and will eliminate incentives for
higher costs that might be created by special additional reimbursement.
As noted in section XI, the Medicare Payment Advisory Committee also
urged CMS to incorporate more drugs into the base APCs.
Response: We appreciate all of the comments regarding the various
aspects we should consider in making our decision to package lower-cost
drugs and biologicals into procedure APCs. After carefully considering
all recommendations submitted by the commenters regarding how we should
treat these drugs and biologicals, we concluded that the packaging
methodology we proposed is appropriate. We believe that we have
sufficient data on drugs and biologicals to allow us to make a
reasonable decision on whether to package individual items. We further
believe that our decision to package these costs is consistent with the
concept of a prospective payment system and we expect to continue
incorporating additional drugs into the base APCs in future years.
Comment: Several commenters stated that the $150 threshold
established for separate APC payment is arbitrary and such a packaging
rule would create confusion among hospitals. One national hospital
association was concerned that the policy would create incentives for
pharmaceutical companies to increase their prices so their drugs will
receive separate payment, and, potentially, for physicians to choose
one drug over a clinically appropriate substitute.
Response: We acknowledge the concerns for using a median cost per
line threshold level when the cost of a particular drug may fluctuate
over time. However, we must set the rates prospectively. We will
consider these issues further as we determine our policy for the
criteria for packaging as we develop our proposed rule for the 2004
update.
Comment: Several commenters supported our decision to pay
separately for higher-cost drugs, clotting factors, and orphan drugs in
2003, but recommended that we delay packaging higher-cost drugs until
more accurate data is available. Other commenters suggested that we
collect at least 2 more years of data on all drugs and biologicals
before contemplating bundling them with other APCs. They stated that
once a drug or biological is bundled, hospitals will have no incentive
to code for it, and there will be no means of collecting data on the
product in the future. Thus, by not packaging, we would be able to
determine appropriate payment rates that reflect variations in hospital
expenses for these products and continue to collect product-specific
information.
Response: We agree with the commenters who stated that we should
not package higher cost drugs until we have more data on those
products; however, we disagree with the other commenters who suggested
that we should not consider packaging any drugs and biologicals until
we have collected data for two more years. We believe that at this time
we have sufficient data to determine which drugs and biologicals should
be packaged and which products we will pay separately for in 2003.
While some hospitals may fail to separately report codes that represent
packaged items, we have repeatedly instructed hospitals to submit all
charges related to covered outpatient services, including those for
packaged items. The total charges submitted by hospitals for each
service will be used to set future rates. For that reason, and because
of the possible impact on their ability to receive outlier payments for
which they might qualify, it is extremely important that hospitals
report all appropriate charges for their covered outpatient services.
Comment: Several commenters suggested that, at minimum, we should
continue to pay separately for drugs and biologicals that typically
cost more than $150 per administration, regardless of whether the
median cost per line exceeds $150 using the 2001 claims data. In
addition, a trade association suggested that we reflect the common
practice of combining radiopharmaceuticals and others drugs used in
performing nuclear medicine procedures by qualifying for separate
payment those drug combinations which exceed the agency's $150
threshold.
Response: We appreciate the commenters' suggestions regarding
methodologies that would refine the $150 threshold level used in making
packaging determinations for 2003. We believe our proposed policy
strikes a reasonable balance of simplicity, administrability, and
responsiveness. We intend to review and refine our methodology in the
future, and the proposals submitted by commenters will be taken into
consideration at that time.
[[Page 66776]]
Comment: Several commenters claimed that our proposal to package
many of the non-pass-through, lower cost drugs and biologicals with
HCPCS codes for therapeutic administration is a violation of the ``two-
times'' rule. Therefore, they recommended that we continue to pay for
all drugs and biologicals separately or by revising the APCs in which
the drugs are packaged.
Response: We do not agree with the commenters' assertion that
packaging of drugs and biologicals results in violations of the two-
times rule, stated in section 1833(t)(2) of the Act. We understand the
commenters' confusion and attempt to provide a clarification on how we
apply the ``two-times'' rule to determine APC structures. Most APC's
consist of one or more services, which we refer to as ``procedures''
and code with CPT or HCPCS G codes, that are similar clinically and in
terms of resource use. Many individual items (for example, sterile
supplies or pharmaceuticals such as anesthetic agents) or ancillary
services (for example, nursing or recovery room services) are integral
to the procedure, and thus we have packaged them with the procedure. In
some instances, such as APCs for transitional pass-through drugs and
devices, the APC includes no procedure, and the APC is used only to pay
for a specific item.
The ``two times'' rule requires that the highest median cost of a
within an APC cannot be more than two times greater than the lowest
median cost of a procedure within that APC. We apply the ``two-times''
rule to the total cost of each procedure (which includes items and
services that are packaged within that procedure). In the case of APCs
containing only items, we apply the rule to the cost of each item that
is grouped in the APC. We do not apply the two times rule to the
variation in cost of individual items or ancillary services we
attribute to a single HCPCS code.
If we were to attempt to apply the rule to all items and ancillary
services within the various procedures, accounting for the variation in
cost of supplies such as bandages, reusable instruments, and other
medical supplies would be a practical impossibility. It would lead to a
highly fragmented set of payment cells and a greatly more complex
payment system that would reduce the incentives for effective
management by hospitals. We do not believe Congress would have intended
such a result.
Consistent with the principles of prospective payment, we package
the cost of as many items and ancillary services as possible into the
median cost of a procedure. Therefore, our payment methodology for
2003, includes packaging the costs of drugs and biologicals with median
costs below $150 per line into the costs of the procedures with which
they were billed. We reviewed the median cost of the procedures used
for administration of drugs and biologicals, before and after we
packaged the costs of drugs and biologicals. Our review indicates that
the final median cost appropriately accounts for the administration
procedure and the cost of the administered drug and/or biologic.
Comment: A commenter requested that we include a statement in the
final rule that was included in the preamble of the September 8, 1998
proposed rule (63 FR 47563-47564) that stated ``We propose to allow
hospitals to provide drugs to patients without requiring that the
hospital bill the patient, and without Medicare paying the hospital.
Normally, hospitals are not allowed to waive such billing, since not
charging a patient could be seen as an inducement to the patient to use
other services at the hospital, for which the hospital would be paid.
However, if the benefit is not advertised, we believe that provision of
the self-administered drugs at no charge to the beneficiary need not
constitute an inducement in violation of the anti-kickback rules. The
hospital may not advertise this to the public or in any other way
induce patients to use the hospital's service in return for forgoing
payment.''
Response: We are not making final the proposal in the September 8,
1998 rule (63 FR 47563-64) that the commenter quotes. Medicare policy
affecting how payment is made under the OPPS has evolved considerably
since that rule. In the intervening years, CMS, providers, contractors,
and beneficiaries all have acquired considerable experience under the
OPPS that has added perspective and substance to a broad range of
policy issues, including what is and is not payable under the OPPS. The
following points summarize our current policy related to the issue
posed by the commenter:
[sbull] In accordance with the in section 1861(s)(2)(B) of the Act
and related Medicare regulations and program issuances, drugs and
biologicals that are not usually self-administered by the patient are
payable under the OPPS. As we explain elsewhere in this final rule,
Medicare makes separate payment for certain drugs and biologicals and
packages payment for others into the procedure with which they are
billed.
[sbull] The fact that a drug has a HCPCS code and a payment rate
under the OPPS does not imply that the drug is covered by the Medicare
program, but only indicates how the drug may be paid if it is covered
by the program.
[sbull] A code and payment amount does not represent a
determination that the Medicare program covers a drug. Contractors must
determine whether the drug meets all program requirements for coverage;
for example, that the drug is reasonable and necessary to treat the
beneficiary's condition and whether it is excluded from payment because
it is usually self-administered.
[sbull] Certain drugs are so integral to a treatment or procedure
that the treatment or procedure could not be performed without them.
Because such drugs are so clearly an integral component part of the
procedure or treatment, they are packaged as supplies under the OPPS
into the APC for the procedure or treatment. Consequently, payment for
them is included in the APC payment for the procedure or treatment of
which they are an integral part.
[sbull] Under the OPPS, hospitals may not separately bill
beneficiaries for items whose costs are packaged into the APC payment
for the procedure with which they are used (except for the copayment
that applies to the APC).
In short, neither the OPPS nor other Medicare reimbursement rules
regulate the provision or billing by hospitals of non-covered drugs to
Medicare beneficiaries. Accordingly, it would be inappropriate to
include the statement in the 1998 rule. However, in some circumstances,
such practices potentially implicate other statutory and regulatory
provisions, including the prohibition on inducements to beneficiaries,
section 1128A(a)(5) of the Act, or the anti-kickback statute, section
1128B(b) of the Act.
E. Expiration of Transitional Pass-Through Payments in Calendar Year
2003 for Brachytherapy
Section 1833(t)(6) of the Act requires us to establish transitional
pass-through payments for devices of brachytherapy. As of August 1,
2000, we established item-specific device codes including codes for
brachytherapy seeds, needles, and catheters. Effective April 1, 2001,
we established category codes for brachytherapy seeds on a per seed
basis (one for each isotope), brachytherapy needles on a per needle
basis, and brachytherapy catheters on a per catheter basis. Because
initial payment was made for a device in each of these categories in
August 2000, we proposed that these categories (and the transitional
pass-through payments) will be discontinued as of January 1, 2003.
Furthermore, as discussed above, we
[[Page 66777]]
proposed that there will be no grace period for billing these category
codes.
We received comments, both in writing and at the April 2002 Town
Hall meeting, recommending that we continue to make separate payment
for brachytherapy seeds. The basis for this recommendation is that the
number of brachytherapy seeds implanted per procedure is variable.
These commenters stated that the number and type of seeds implanted in
a given patient depends on the type of tumor, its size, extent, and
biology, and the amount of radioactivity contained in each seed. To
further complicate the matter, the HCPCS codes used to report
implantation of brachytherapy seeds are not tumor-specific. Instead,
they are defined based on the number of sources, that is, the number of
seeds or ribbons used in the procedure. This means that the treatment
of many different tumors requiring implantation of widely varying
numbers of seeds is described by a single HCPCS code. Therefore, it has
been argued that given the costs of seeds and the variety of treatments
described by a single HCPCS code, the cost of brachytherapy billed
under a single HCPCS code could vary by as much as $3,000.
In determining whether to package seeds into their associated
procedures, we considered all these factors as well as our claims data.
Consistent with our proposed policy for other device costs and the cost
of many drugs, as well as with the principles of a prospective payment
system, our preferred policy is to package the cost of brachytherapy
devices into their associated procedures. For 2003, in the case of
remote afterloading high intensity brachytherapy and prostate
brachytherapy, which we discuss below, weproposed to package the costs
into payment for the procedures with which they are billed.
For other uses of brachytherapy, we proposed to defer packaging of
brachytherapy seeds for at least 1 year. In those cases, when paying
separately in 2003 for brachytherapy seeds, we proposed to continue
payment on a per seed basis. The payment amount would be based on the
median cost of brachytherapy seeds, per seed, as determined from our
claims data.
We solicited comments on methodologies we might use to package all
brachytherapy seeds beginning in CY 2004. For example, creation of
tumor-specific brachytherapy HCPCS codes would reduce the variability
in seed implantation costs associated with the current HCPCS codes used
for seed implantation.
As stated above, beginning January 1, 2003, we proposed to package
payment for brachytherapy seeds into the payment for the following two
types of brachytherapy services:
Remote Afterloading High Intensity Brachytherapy
Participants in the April 5, 2002 Town Hall meeting expressed
concern about packaging single use brachytherapy seeds into payment for
procedures.
Remote afterloading high intensity brachytherapy treatment does not
involve implantation of seeds. Instead, it utilizes a single
radioactive ``source'' of high dose iridium with a 90-day life span.
This single source is purchased and used multiple times in multiple
patients over its life. One or more temporary catheters are inserted
into the area requiring treatment, and the radioactive source is
briefly inserted into each catheter and then removed. Because the
source never comes in direct contact with the patient, it may be used
for multiple patients. We note that the cost of the radioactive source,
per procedure, is the same irrespective of how many catheters are
inserted into the patient. We believe that the costs of this type of
source should be amortized over the life of the source. Therefore, each
hospital administering this type of therapy should include its own
charge for the radiation source in the charge for the procedure.
Therefore, we proposed to package the costs associated with high dose
iridium into the HCPCS codes used to describe this procedure. Those
codes are: 77781, 77782, 77783, and 77784.
Prostate Brachytherapy
The preponderance of brachytherapy claims under OPPS to date is for
prostate brachytherapy. Brachytherapy is administered in several other
organ systems, but the claims volume for non-prostate brachytherapy is
very small, and hence our base of information on which to make payment
decisions is slim. Furthermore, prostate brachytherapy uses only two
isotopes, which are similar in cost, while brachytherapy on other
organs involves a variety of isotopes with greater variation in cost.
Consequently, we believe it would be prudent to wait for further
experience to develop before proceeding to package non-prostate
brachytherapy seeds.
A number of commenters at the April 5, 2002, Town Hall Meeting and
elsewhere have stressed to us their views that brachytherapy seeds
should remain unpackaged. The principle argument put forth in favor of
this approach is that the number of seeds used is highly variable
across patients. We do not find this argument compelling. Payments in
the OPPS, as in other prospective payment systems, are based on
averages. We believe the service volume at hospitals providing prostate
brachytherapy is likely to be large enough for a payment reflecting
average use of seeds to be appropriate.
Additionally, appropriate payment for prostate brachytherapy has
been of concern to many commenters since implementation of the OPPS
because facilities must use multiple HCPCS codes on a single claim to
accurately describe the entire procedure. Because we determine APC
relative weights using single procedure claims, commenters have argued
that payments for prostate brachytherapy are, in part, based on error
claims, resulting in underpayment for this important service. We agree
that basing the relative weights for APCs reported for prostate
brachytherapy services on only the small number of claims related to
this service that are single procedure claims may be problematic. To
increase the number of claims we could use to develop the proposed 2003
relative payment weights for prostate brachytherapy, we began by
identifying all claims billed in 2001 for prostate brachytherapy.
Unfortunately, closer analysis of these claims revealed that hospitals
do not report prostate brachytherapy using a uniform combination of
codes. Of the more than 12,000 claims for prostate brachytherapy that
we identified in the 2001 claims data, no single combination of HCPCS
codes occurred more than 25 times.
Therefore, in order to facilitate tracking of this service, we
proposed to establish a G code for hospital use only that will
specifically identify prostate brachytherapy. We proposed as the
descriptor for this G code the following: ``Prostate brachytherapy,
including transperineal placement of needles or catheters into the
prostate, cystoscopy, and interstitial radiation source application.''
This G code would be used by hospitals instead of HCPCS codes 55859 and
77778 to bill for prostate brachytherapy. Hospitals would continue to
use HCPCS codes 55859 and 77778 when reporting services other than
prostate brachytherapy. We would also instruct hospitals to continue to
report separately other services provided in conjunction with prostate
brachytherapy, such as dosimetry and ultrasound guidance. These
additional services would be paid according to the APC payment rate
established by our usual methodology.
[[Page 66778]]
This G code will allow us to package brachytherapy seeds into the
procedures for administering prostate brachytherapy while permitting us
to pay separately for brachytherapy seeds which are administered for
other procedures. Therefore, we proposed to package the costs of the
brachytherapy seeds, catheters, and needles into the payment for the
prostate brachytherapy G code. In order to develop a payment amount for
this G code, we used all claims where both HCPCS codes 55859 and 77778
appeared. We packaged all revenue centers and appropriate HCPCS codes,
that is, HCPCS with status indicator ``N.'' We then determined median
costs of the line items for HCPCS codes 55859 and 77778 and added the
two. Next, we packaged the costs of all C codes, whether an item-
specific or a device category code, into the payment amount. We
proposed to assign APC 0684 with status indicator ``T.'' We believe the
payment rate proposed for this G code appropriately reflects the costs
of the procedures, the brachytherapy seeds, and any other devices
associated with these procedures. We solicited comments on this
proposal.
Packaging of Other Device Costs Associated With Brachytherapy
We proposed to package the costs of brachytherapy needles and
catheters with whichever procedures they are reported, similar to our
proposal for packaging the costs of other devices that will no longer
be eligible for a transitional pass-through payment in 2003. Because
the HCPCS code descriptors for brachytherapy are based on the number of
catheters or needles used, we believe the costs of these devices would
be appropriately reflected within the costs of the associated
procedure.
Brachytherapy
Comment: One commenter believed that assigning CPT Code 77799 to
APC 313 was inappropriate because it was the highest paying
brachytherapy APC and it violated the two times rule.
Response: We thank the commenter for bringing this to our
attention. The CPT code 77799 should be assigned to APC 312, the lowest
paying brachytherapy APC, which is consistent with our policy of
assigning unspecified codes to the lowest paying similar APC because we
do not know what procedures are being performed. However, we do not
apply the two times rule to unspecified codes like 77799 for that same
reason. We are assigning 77799 to APC 312.
Comment: Several commenters were concerned that the proposed
payment rates for APCs 1718, for iodine seeds, and 1720, for palladium
seeds were significantly lower than the 2002 payment rates for these
brachytherapy sources. The commenters stated that the new rates do not
reflect hospital acquisition costs and recommended that we continue
pass-through status for these seeds in 2003 or refine the claims data
used to set payment rates.
Response: Our payment rates for 1718 and 1720 are based on the
median costs for these seeds in our 2001 claims data. We are confident
that these data reflect actual hospital acquisition costs. By statutory
mandate, the OPPS system, in aggregate, does not pay hospitals full
costs for services. Therefore, it should not be expected that payment
rates (which involve turning median costs into relative weights and
applying scaling factors) will always reflect 100 percent of hospital
acquisition cost.
Comment: Several commenters urged us to identify all sources
currently used in brachytherapy and cover those sources on an interim
basis. They suggested we retain a C code for ``unlisted'' brachytherapy
sources to allow hospitals to bill for sources not on the current pass
through list.
Response: We only create C codes for items based on formal
applications for a specific device. We do not create C codes for
unlisted devices. Interested parties may submit an application for a
pass through device using the process described in the April 7, 2000
final rule (65 FR 18481-18482).
Comment: A commenter suggested continuing the pass-through
categories for brachytherapy seeds, needles, and catheters for one year
in order to collect more data.
Response: Statutory provisions preclude us from continuing these
categories for an additional year.
Comment: One commenter asked us to refer to brachytherapy
``sources'' instead of brachytherapy ``seeds.''
Response: We agree and will do so.
Comment: One commenter responded to our solicitation of comments
regarding the advisability of creating tumor specific brachytherapy
HCPCS codes in the future. The commenter did not favor this idea
because of the variability in number and type of brachytherapy devices
used to treat a single disease. Additionally, it would create an overly
complex coding system.
Response: We thank the commenter and are continuing to review this
issue.
Comment: Several commenters were concerned about the proposed
payment reduction for APC 313 (High Dose Afterloading Brachytherapy).
The commenters stated that hospitals were coding incorrectly for these
services because many claims did not use C codes for the sources or
catheters. Therefore, our data did not reflect actual hospital costs.
The commenters recommended that we increase the payment rate, use only
claims that were correctly coded, or continue to pay separately for the
sources.
Response: As described elsewhere in this rule, we have taken steps
to mitigate the severe payment decreases that were proposed for several
APCs including APC 313. Therefore the final payment rate for APC 313
will be higher than the proposed payment rate. We will continue to
review the issues raised by the commenters. It is unclear how we should
address the issue of coding for APC 313 because high dose brachytherapy
sources are reusable whose costs must be amortized per use over a 90
day period. Furthermore, hospitals have been using these sources for
many years; therefore, we would expect their charges would reflect this
amortized cost even in the absence of using a C code. Additionally, it
is likely we over estimated device costs for this APC because of the
methodology we used for folding in device costs insetting 2002 payment
rates. Lastly, we are unable to continue pass-through payments for
devices used in APC 313 and do not think it is appropriate to pay
separately for high dose brachytherapy sources for the reasons
discussed.
Comment: Several commenters were concerned about the ``N'' status
indicator assigned to Yttrium-90 brachytherapy sources. They stated
that it is an implantable seed used in treating liver cancer. They also
claimed that its median cost was much higher than the cost reflected in
our claims data.
Response: We will place Yttrium-90 in an APC. Assigning status
indicator ``N'' was an error. We will use our claims data to set the
payment rate. We will continue to review our claims data and external
data sources as we update the payment rate in 2004.
Comment: Several commenters suggested that we create HCPCS codes
and APCs for high dose implantable brachytherapy sources. They
explained that sources such as iodine-125 and palladium-103 may be
``high'' intensity or `low'' intensity (that is, emit different amounts
of radiation) and that our payment for these sources account for the
cost variation associated with sources of different intensities.
Another commenter requested that we create three levels of APCs for
brachytherapy needles and catheters to account for cost variation of
those devices. Lastly, another commenter suggested we create
[[Page 66779]]
three APCs to reflect levels of seed utilization (for example, simple
for less than 85 seeds, intermediate for 85-99 seeds and complex for
more than 100 seeds).
Response: We disagree. Our median cost data should reflect the cost
variation among seeds of different intensity. For example if low
intensity seeds cost $40 and are used 80 percent of the time, and high
intensity seeds cost $50 and are used 20 percent of the time, then our
cost data should reflect a cost of $42 per seed. Insofar as no hospital
specializes in administering high intensity seeds, on average,
hospitals should be paid appropriately for both types of seeds.
Furthermore it would be administratively burdensome and make accurate
coding very difficult, if we created APCs for every variation in seeds.
We believe devices other than seeds should be packaged into procedure
APCs, as we have done with all other devices. Because we pay for
sources on a ``per seed'' basis there is no reason to create APCs for
simple, intermediate, and complex seed utilization.
Comment: One commenter requested that we set up a system to account
for the variability in use of brachytherapy devices. Another commenter
said that brachytherapy codes were not well understood so all supplies
and sources should be paid separately.
Response: We disagree and are finalizing our proposal to package
all devices except for seeds in cases of non-prostate cancer
brachytherapy. Doing what the commenters requested would create an
extremely burdensome system with no discernable benefit.
Comment: Many commenters disagreed with our proposal to create a G
code describing prostate brachytherapy with packaged implantable
sources, needles, and catheters. They cited the following as reasons:
[sbull] The high variability in the number of sources used per
treatment.
[sbull] The difference in cost between iodine and palladium seeds.
[sbull] Packaging of seeds violates the two times rule.
[sbull] Some hospitals specialize in complex cases requiring high
numbers of seeds and would always be underpaid.
[sbull] A single payment rate would provide incentives to use
cheaper (iodine) seeds when more expensive seeds (palladium) were
clinically appropriate.
[sbull] A single payment rate would provide an incentive to use
fewer, higher activity seeds even if use of more lower activity seeds
was clinically appropriate.
[sbull] Underpayment for prostate brachytherapy will create an
incentive to use more invasive, riskier, and costly treatments for
prostate cancer.
[sbull] The proposed payment rate is too low as a result of using
improperly coded claims.
[sbull] Creating a new G code is administratively burdensome.
Most commenters recommended that we continue to pay separately for
brachytherapy sources used for prostate cancer, as we proposed to do
for other forms of cancer. Some commenters requested that we withdraw
our proposal for the G code describing brachytherapy and continue to
recognize CPT codes 55859 and 77778 while other commenters agreed with
our proposal to create the G code with packaged needles and catheters
but asked that we not package brachytherapy sources into it. Some
commenters requested that, if we finalize our G code, that it be paid
as least as much as combined payment rate for the APCs containing CPT
codes 55859 and 77778.
A few commenters agreed with our proposed G code approach but asked
that we create 2 G codes, one for prostate brachytherapy using iodine
seeds and another for prostate brachytherapy using palladium seeds.
They also suggested that if CMS finalizes one or more G codes, coding
edits should be developed to ensure proper coding of these procedures.
Response: We thank all the commenters. After review of all the
comments we have decided to create 2 G codes describing prostate
brachytherapy. G0256, Prostate brachytherapy using permanently
implanted palladium seeds, including transperitoneal placement of
needles or catheters into the prostate, cystoscopy and application of
permanent interstitial radiation source, and G0261, Prostate
brachytherapy using permanently implanted iodine seeds, including
transperitoneal placement of needles or catheters into the prostate,
cystoscopy and application of permanent interstitial radiation source.
These codes package the costs of needles, catheters, and sources. In
developing payment rates for these codes we used only correctly coded
claims. For example, for G0256 we used only claims that included CPT
codes 55859, 77778, and a C code for palladium sources. We did not use
any claims where there was no C code for a brachytherapy source or a
claim where there were C codes for more than one source (for example,
palladium and iodine sources). Analysis of the claims we used in
setting payment rates revealed that the median number of seeds packaged
into both codes is 85. We believe that the median costs of these codes
reflect the resources required to perform these procedures.
We believe that implementation of these G codes should address the
clinical concerns of the commenters. We do not believe these codes will
create an incentive to use one type of source rather than another.
Additionally, because of the number of seeds packaged we do not believe
there will be an incentive to use fewer seeds inappropriately.
Furthermore, we believe the number of packaged seeds addresses the
concerns about seed variability as we are not aware of facilities that
specialize in using more palladium or iodine than are packaged in these
codes. Finally, we do not have evidence that implementation of these G
codes and their payment rates will create an incentive to treat
prostate cancer with more invasive, more costly treatments.
For non-clinical concerns, we think that implementation of the G
codes will actually decrease administrative burden as it will now be
easier for hospitals to properly code for prostate brachytherapy
procedures, and we believe that the methodology we used to develop
median costs addresses the concerns about underpayment.
When performing prostate brachytherapy hospitals should use G0256
and G0261 and should not report CPT codes 55859 and 77778. Furthermore
hospitals should not report the APCs for iodine and palladium
brachytherapy sources. CMS will create edits to prevent billing of
these items and services with prostate brachytherapy. However, other
services provided during the provision of prostate brachytherapy such
as intraoperative ultrasound, dosimetry, etc., are separately payable
and should be reported on the claim if performed.
F. Payment for Transitional Pass-Through Drugs and Biologicals for
Calendar Year 2003
As discussed in the November 13, 2000 interim final rule (65 FR
67809) and the November 30, 2001 final rule (66 FR 59895), we update
the payment rates for pass-through drugs on an annual basis. Therefore,
as we have done for prior updates, we proposed to update the APC rates
for drugs that are eligible for pass-through payments in 2003 using the
most recent version of the Red Book, the July 2002 version in this
case. The updated rates effective January 1, 2003 would remain in
effect until we implement the next annual
[[Page 66780]]
update in 2004, when we would again update the AWPs for any pass-
through drugs based on the latest quarterly version of the Red Book.
This retains the update of pass-through drug prices on the same
calendar year schedule as the other annual OPPS updates.
As described in our final rule of November 30, 2001 (66 FR 59894),
in order to establish the applicable beneficiary copayment amount and
the pass-through payment amount, we must determine the cost of the
pass-through eligible drug or biological that would have been included
in the payment rate for its associated APC had the drug or biological
been packaged. We used hospital acquisition costs as a proxy for the
amount that would have been packaged, based on data from an external
survey of hospital drug costs (see the April 7, 2000 final rule (65 FR
18481)). That survey concluded that--
[sbull] For drugs available through only one source drugs, the
ratio of acquisition cost to AWP equals 0.68;
[sbull] For multisource drugs, the ratio of acquisition cost to AWP
equals 0.61;
[sbull] For drugs with generic competitors, the ratio is 0.43.
As we stated in our final rule of November 30, 2001 (66 FR 59896),
we considered the use of the study-derived ratios of drug costs to AWP
to be an interim measure until we could obtain data on hospital costs
from claims. We stated that we anticipated having this data to use in
setting payment rates for 2003.
As described elsewhere in this preamble, we used 2001 claims data
to calculate a median cost per unit of drug for each drug for which we
are currently paying separately. We compared the median per unit cost
of each drug to the AWP to determine a ratio of acquisition cost to
AWP. Using the total units billed for each drug, we then calculated a
weighted average for each of the above three categories of drugs. These
calculations resulted in the following weighted average ratios:
[sbull] For sole-source drugs, the ratio of cost to AWP equals 71.0
percent.
[sbull] For multisource drugs, the ratio of cost to AWP equals 68.0
percent.
[sbull] For drugs with generic competitors, the ratio of cost to
AWP equals 46.0 percent.
We proposed to use these percentages for determining the applicable
beneficiary copayment amount and the pass-through payment amount for
most drugs eligible for pass-through payment in 2003. However some
drugs may fall into two other classes. The first class includes a drug
that is new and for which no cost is yet included in an associated APC.
For such a drug, because there is no cost for the drug yet included in
an associated APC, the pass-through amount will be 95 percent of the
AWP and there would be no copayment. The second class includes a drug
that is new and is a substitute for only one drug that is recognized in
the OPPS through an unpackaged APC. For drugs in this second class, the
pass-through amount would be the difference between 95 percent of the
AWP for the pass-through drug and the payment rate for the comparable
dose of the associated drug's APC. The copayment would be based on the
payment rate of its associated APC. We believe that using this
methodology will yield a more accurate payment rate.
We have received questions for our definition of multisource drugs.
In determining whether a drug is available from multiple sources, we
consider repackagers to be among the sources. This is consistent with
the findings of the survey cited above which indicated a lower ratio of
acquisition cost to AWP from multiple sources including repackagers.
We note that determining that a drug is eligible for a pass-through
payment or assigning a status indicator ``K'' to a drug or biological
(indicating that the drugs or biologicals is paid based on a separate
APC rate) indicates only the method by which the drug or biological is
paid if it is covered by the Medicare program. It does not represent a
determination that the drug is covered by the Medicare program. For
example, Medicare contractors must determine whether the drug or
biological is: (1) Reasonable and necessary to treat the beneficiary's
conditions; and (2) excluded from payment because it is usually self-
administered by the patient.
We received several comments on this proposal, which are summarized
below.
Comment: A commenter stated that the payments for pass-through
drugs were too generous compared to those for the devices.
Response: We calculated payments for pass-through drugs and devices
in accordance with the statute in sections 1833(t)(6)(D)(i) and (ii) of
the Act.
Comment: Numerous commenters were concerned with the time required
to incorporate new drugs and biologicals into the APC system. Some
commenters indicated that we frequently depart from our own timeframe
of 4 to 7 months from the date of submission of an application to the
potential effective data for pass-through status. Thus, they urged us
to follow one of the following recommendations: Expedite the processing
of pass-through applications and the creation of C codes; develop C
codes for products pending FDA approval, or permit retroactive dates
for new codes to allow for retroactive reimbursement for hospitals.
Another commenter suggested that we create a centralized on-line
listing of all current pass-through drugs, biologicals, and devices
along with all of the new applications under review.
Response: We understand the commenters' concerns, and we would like
to clarify the operation of our quarterly deadlines. We establish
deadlines for submission of transitional pass-through applications that
are 4 months in advance of the next quarterly update to the claims-
payment system in order to accommodate time for review and decision and
for revisions to the claims-payment systems. Thus an applicant
submitting by the deadline can be assured we will consider the
application for possible inclusion in the next quarterly update.
However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to make a decision
regarding the application within that period of time. Incomplete
applications or the need to answer technical questions that arise
during review may extend the period of review.
We have instructed hospitals through our fiscal intermediaries that
hospitals may bill for new drugs following FDA approval using an
unspecified HCPCS code until a permanent HCPCS is established for the
drug and/or we have approved pass-through payment for the drug. Payment
for a new drug, if determined by the fiscal intermediary to be a
covered drug, would be packaged. However inclusion of the drug charges
for the procedure will be considered in determining outlier payments
and will be used in future rate setting for the procedure and/or the
drug once its pass-through status expires. Hospitals should note that
we have lowered the threshold for outlier payments for 2003, and this
new threshold requirement is described in section IX of the preamble.
We intend to minimize the delays in the review process as much as
possible so that we can facilitate access to new products and services
for our beneficiaries, which is why we review new pass-through
applications on a quarterly basis. We disagree with the commenters who
suggested that we allow retroactive reimbursement for hospitals to the
date of FDA approval. Moving to such a policy would greatly increase
the burden on our and hospitals' computer systems in programming,
testing, and implementing updates to the payment system. We do not
provide for retroactive changes in reimbursement because this is a
prospectively
[[Page 66781]]
determined payment system and because retroactive payment rate changes
are administratively burdensome and confusing for beneficiaries and
providers.
We appreciate the suggestion to create an on-line listing of all
transitional pass-through items and applications that are under review,
and will consider it for the future.
Comment: Several national trade associations and drug companies
were concerned with our proposal to consider drugs and biologicals that
were subject to repackaging as multisource drugs. They indicated that
repackagers do not manufacture the products; instead, they purchase the
products from the manufacturers, package them differently, and then
sell the products. The manufacturer of the product continues to be the
sole source of the product; therefore, we should regard repackaged
products as sole source drugs. Also, they recommended that we utilize
the ``Orange Book'' to determine whether a drug should considered
single source, multisource, or generic for OPPS purposes.
Response: We acknowledge that we treat certain drugs that have only
one manufacturer as a multisource drug. Our rationale behind regarding
a repackaged drug as a multisource product is that, even though there
may be only one manufacturer of a repackaged drug, there is more than
one party selling the repackaged drug in the market. Therefore, a
repackager may charge a different price to hospitals for the same
product sold by its manufacturer. Our intention in the payment system
is to account for the economic relationship between market prices for
repackagers, multisource drugs, and sole source drugs. From our
analysis, we judged the drugs sold by repackagers to be similar to
drugs available from more than one manufacturer in terms of price
differentials and estimated hospital acquisition costs. We also note
that if we were to recategorize these drugs as single source, we would
have to recalculate the average values for acquisition costs for the
three categories of drugs.
Comment: Several commenters suggested that we use the October 2002
Red Book information to set the final pass-through payment rates for
2003. Also, the commenters urged us to update the pass-through payment
rates quarterly since there will be significantly fewer pass-through
drugs in 2003.
Response: Upon considering the commenters' suggestions in using the
October 2002 Red Book to set the pass-through payment rates for drugs
and biologicals, we decided to continue using the July 2002 Red Book as
we proposed since it is most consistent with our publication schedule.
In the future, for all of our final rules that must be published by
November, we will continue to use the July edition of the Red Book for
that year.
We carefully considered the proposal to update the pass-through
payments on a quarterly basis and decided to continue with only annual
updates of the rates. From previous experience, we know that doing a
quarterly update of the prices for all the pass-through drugs and
biologicals would be burdensome on our contractors and disruptive to
both our computer systems and pricing software. Although we make other
updates on a quarterly basis, we do not include revision of rates in
these updates unless an error was made in the calculation of the rate.
We see no compelling reason to update the transitional pass-through
drug prices under the OPPS more frequently than the other payment rates
in the outpatient system.
Comment: Several commenters indicated that in the proposed rule we
appeared intent on estimating pass-through expenditures that will
exceed the statutory cap and trigger a pro-rata reduction of pass-
through payments in 2003.
Response: Frankly, we find it puzzling that commenters would
believe we would manipulate the estimates of pass-through spending with
the intention of ensuring that a pro-rata reduction would be imposed.
Our estimate of transitional pass-through spending indicates that no
pro-rata reduction will be necessary in 2003.
Comment: A commenter urged us to develop a process for
acknowledgement and payment adjustment when it is determined that the
rates published in the Red Book are incorrect.
Response: As stated elsewhere in this final rule, we update payment
rates for pass-through drugs and biologicals only on an annual basis
using the information published in the July edition of the Red Book. We
rely on information supplied by manufacturers to the Red Book to be
accurate.
V. Criteria for New Device Categories As Implemented in the November 2,
2001 Interim Final Rule With Comment
The Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Balanced Budget Refinement Act of
1999 (BBRA), Public Law 106-113, amended section 1833(t) of the Act to
make major changes that affected the new PPS for hospital outpatient
services. Section 1833(t)(6) of the Act, which was added by section
201(b) of the BBRA, provided for temporary additional payments,
referred to as ``transitional pass-through payments,'' for certain
drugs, biologicals, and devices. Section 1833(t)(b) of the Act provided
for payment of new medical devices, as well as new drugs and
biologicals, in instances in which the item was not being paid as a
hospital outpatient service as of December 31, 1996, and when the cost
of the item is ``not insignificant'' in relation to the OPPS payment
amount. Section 402 of BIPA, which amends section 1833(t)(6) of the
Act, requires us to use categories in determining the eligibility of
devices for transitional pass-through payments effective April 1, 2001.
Section 1833(t)(6)(B)(ii)(IV) of the Act, as added by section 402(a) of
BIPA, requires us to establish a new category for a medical device
when--
[sbull] The cost of the device is not insignificant in relation to
the OPPS payment amount;
[sbull] No existing or previously existing device category is
appropriate for the device; and
[sbull] Payment was not being made for the device as an outpatient
hospital service as of December 31, 1996. However, section
1833(t)(6)(B)(iv) of the Act, also added by section 402(a) of BIPA,
provides that a medical device shall be treated as meeting the first
and third requirements if either--
[sbull] The device is described by one of the initial categories
established and in effect or
[sbull] The device is described by one of the additional categories
we established and in effect, and--
--An application under section 515 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act has been approved; or
--The device has been cleared for market under section 510(k) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; or
--The device is exempt from the requirements of section 510(k) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act under section 510(l) or section
510(m) of that Act.
Thus, otherwise covered devices that are described by a currently
existing category may be eligible for transitional pass-through
payments even if they were paid as part of an outpatient service as of
December 31, 1996. At the same time, no categories will be created on
the basis of devices that were paid on or before December 31, 1996.
Section 1833(t)(6)(B)(i)(I) of the Act, as amended by BIPA,
required us to establish, by April 1, 2001, an initial set of
categories based on device by type in such a way that specific devices
eligible
[[Page 66782]]
for transitional pass-through payments under sections 1833(t)(A)(ii)
and (iv) of the Act as of January 1, 2001 would be included in a
category. We developed this initial set of categories in consultation
with groups representing hospitals, manufacturers of medical devices,
and other affected parties, as required by section 1833(t)(6)(B)(i)(II)
of the Act. We issued the list of initial categories on March 22, 2001,
in Program Memorandum (PM) No. A-01-41. Subsequently, an additional two
categories and clarifications of some of the categories' long
descriptors were made. The latest PM that lists all the existing device
categories (including three additional categories that became effective
July 1, 2002) is Transmittal No. A-02-050, issued June 17, 2002, which
can be accessed on our Web site, http://cms.hhs.gov.
Section 1833(t)(6)(B)(ii)(III) of the Act, as amended by BIPA,
requires us to establish criteria by July 1, 2001 that will be used to
create additional categories. Section 1833(t)(6)(B)(ii)(II) of the Act
requires that no medical device is described by more than one category.
In addition, the criteria must include a test of whether the average
cost of devices that would be included in a category is ``not
insignificant'' in relation to the APC payment amount for the
associated service.
On November 2, 2001, we set forth in an interim final rule (66 FR
55850) the criteria for establishing new (that is, additional)
categories of medical devices eligible for transitional pass-through
payments under the OPPS as required by section 1833(t)(6)(B)(ii) of the
Act. We received five comments regarding our criteria published in the
November 2, 2001 interim final rule with comment period. We summarize
and respond to these comments below.
A. Criteria for Eligibility for Pass-Through Payment of a Medical
Device
As noted above, in our April 7, 2000 final rule with comment period
(65 FR 18480), we defined new or innovative devices using eight
criteria, three of which were revised in our August 3, 2000 interim
final rule with comment period (65 FR 47673 through 47674). These
criteria were set forth in regulations at Sec. 419.43(e)(4). For the
most part, these criteria remained applicable when defining a new
category for devices. That is, devices to be included in a category
must meet all previously established applicable criteria for a device
eligible for transitional pass-through payments. The definition of an
eligible device, however, needed to change to conform to the
requirements of the amended section 1833(t)(6)(B)(ii) of the Act, that
is, the requirement to establish additional categories, which we
accomplished in our November 2, 2001 interim final rule.
In addition, we clarified our criterion that states that a device
must be approved or cleared by the FDA. The approval or clearance
criterion applies only if FDA approval or clearance is required for the
device as specified at new Sec. 419.66(b)(1). For example, a device
that has received an FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) and has
been classified as a Category B device by the FDA in accordance with
Sec. 405.203 through Sec. 405.207 and Sec. 405.211 through Sec.
405.215 is exempt from this requirement. A device that has received an
FDA IDE and is classified by the FDA as a Category B device is eligible
for a transitional pass-through payment if all other requirements are
met.
B. Criteria for Establishing Additional Device Categories
As described above, in determining the criteria for establishing
additional categories, section 1833(t)(6)(B)(ii) of the Act mandates
that new categories must be established for devices that were not being
paid for as an outpatient hospital service as of December 31, 1996, and
for which no category in effect (or previously in effect) is
appropriate in such a way that no device is described by more than one
category and the average cost of devices to be included in a category
is not insignificant in relation to the APC payment amount for the
associated service. Based on these requirements, we announced in the
November 2, 2001 interim final rule that we will use the following
criteria to establish a category of devices:
[sbull] Substantial clinical improvement. The category describes
devices that demonstrate a substantial improvement in medical benefits
for Medicare beneficiaries compared to the benefits obtained by devices
in previously established (that is, existing or previously existing)
categories or other available treatments, as described in regulations
at new Sec. 419.66(c)(1).
We stated our belief that this criterion ensures that no existing
or previously existing category contains devices that are substantially
similar to the devices to be included in the new category. This
criterion is consistent with the statutory mandate that no device is
described by more than one category.
In addition, we said that this criterion limits the number of new
categories, and consequently transitional pass-through payments, to
those categories containing devices that offer the prospect of
substantial clinical improvement in the care of Medicare beneficiaries.
Section 1833(t)(6)(E)(iii) of the Act, requires that, if the Secretary
estimates before the beginning of the year that the total estimated
amount of pass-through payments would exceed a specified percentage of
total program payments (2.5 percent before 2004 and no more than 2
percent thereafter), we must uniformly reduce (prospectively) each
pass-through payment in that year by an amount adequate to ensure that
the limit is not exceeded.
We established this criterion because it is important for hospitals
to receive pass-through payments for devices that offer substantial
clinical improvement in the treatment of Medicare beneficiaries to
facilitate access by beneficiaries to the advantages of the new
technology. Conversely, the need for additional payments for devices
that offer little or no clinical improvement over a previously existing
device is less apparent. These devices can still be used by hospitals,
and hospitals will be paid for them through the appropriate APC
payment. To the extent these devices are used, the hospitals' charges
for the associated procedures will reflect their use. We will use data
on hospital charges to update the APC payment rates as part of the
annual update cycle. Thus, the payment process will provide an avenue
to reflect appropriate payments for devices that are not substantial
improvements.
We are currently evaluating requests for a new category of devices
against the following criteria in order to determine if it meets the
substantial clinical improvement requirement:
[sbull] The device offers a treatment option for a patient
population unresponsive to, or ineligible for, currently available
treatments.
[sbull] The device offers the ability to diagnose a medical
condition in a patient population where that medical condition is
currently undetectable or offers the ability to diagnose a medical
condition earlier in a patient population than allowed by currently
available methods. There must also be evidence that use of the device
to make a diagnosis affects the management of the patient.
[sbull] Use of the device significantly improves clinical outcomes
for a patient population as compared to currently available treatments.
Some examples of outcomes that are frequently evaluated in studies of
medical devices are the following:
--Reduced mortality rate with use of the device.
--Reduced rate of device-related complications.
[[Page 66783]]
--Decreased rate of subsequent diagnostic or therapeutic interventions
(for example, due to reduced rate of recurrence of the disease
process).
--Decreased number of future hospitalizations or physician visits.
--More rapid beneficial resolution of the disease process treated
because of the use of the device.
--Decreased pain, bleeding, or other quantifiable symptom.
--Reduced recovery time.
As part of the application process (described in section V.B.1 of
this final rule), we require the requesting party to submit evidence
that the category of devices meets one or more of these criteria. We
noted that the requirements set forth above will be used only for
determining whether a device is eligible for a new category under
section 1833(t)(6)(B) of the Act, which authorizes transitional pass-
through payments for categories of devices. These criteria are not
intended for use in making coverage decisions under section
1862(a)(1)(A) of the Act. We noted that adoption of these criteria is
consistent with the recommendation of the Medicare Payment Advisory
Commission, in its March 2001 Report to Congress, that pass-through
payments for specific technologies be made only when a technology is
new or substantially improved.
We stated that we determine which devices represent a substantial
clinical improvement over existing devices by using a panel of Federal
clinical and other experts, supplemented if appropriate by individual
consultation with outside experts. These decisions are, in general,
based on information submitted by the requester about the clinical
benefit of the devices as described in the above criteria, including,
where available, evidence from clinical trials or other clinical
investigations. A panel of clinical experts from CMS has thus far made
all of our decisions on eligibility for an additional device category.
As indicated in the November 2, 2001 interim final rule, we believe
that almost all substantial clinical improvements in technology that
are appropriately paid for under the transitional pass-through
provisions result in measurable improvements in care from the
perspective of the beneficiary. Nevertheless, there may be some
improvements in the medical technology itself that are so significant
that we may wish to recognize them for separate payment (as opposed to
packaged payments) even though they do not directly result in
substantial clinical improvements. For example, improvements in such
factors as the strength of materials, increased battery life,
miniaturization, might so improve convenience, durability, ease of
operation, etc., that such an improvement in medical technology might
be considered as a separate factor from ``substantial clinical
improvement'' in beneficiary care.
We invited public comment on this issue and particularly asked for
examples of medical technologies for which pass-through payments might
be appropriate even though they would not also pass a test based on
substantial improvement in beneficiary outcomes. Although we received a
number of comments on this criterion, only one attempted to provide an
example of new medical technology that might not also pass a test based
on substantial improvement in beneficiary outcomes. This example is
described in our summary of comments and responses below.
As we noted in the November 2, 2001 interim final rule, we will
continue to evaluate these criteria as we gain experience in applying
them, and we will consider revisions and refinements to them over time
as appropriate.
Comment: Most commenters expressed concerns regarding our criterion
that new device categories demonstrate substantial clinical improvement
to be eligible for pass-through payment. Device manufacturers and
representatives felt that evidence of clinical outcomes should not be
part of the device category evaluation and eligibility process. Some
maintained that we already have standards for determining clinical
benefit as part of the Medicare coverage process and we should not have
such requirements in payment determination. One commenter claimed that
we would be unable to determine substantial clinical improvement for
pass-through categories separately from national coverage decisions,
since we will be reviewing the same types of evidence for both
processes. This commenter held that a payment policy decision using
clinical improvement criteria is a de facto coverage decision that our
Coverage Analysis Group and carriers would feel compelled to go along
with.
One device manufacturer was concerned that any employment of
inappropriate evidentiary standards in evaluating improvement in
diagnosis or treatment when applying this criterion could be a barrier
to pass-through payment for some new technologies.
Yet, some manufacturers agree that pass-through payment should be
limited to technologies that represent significant advancements in
providing beneficial new therapy options. A number of commenters felt
we should take into account improvements in devices' technology per se,
for example, material, power source, size, etc., and not limit our
criterion of improvement to clinical improvement. Some commenters held
that only technological aspects of new medical devices should be
analyzed to determine whether there are advancements over existing
pass-through devices to determine whether a device should be considered
for an additional category. A manufacturer stated that if we feel that
a criterion based on clinical benefits is needed, we should employ a
``substantially different'' criterion to determine eligibility for a
new category. Under this suggestion, any difference in therapeutic
effect, indication, surgical approach, safety or side effects,
mechanics or function that offers a ``new beneficial therapeutic
alternative'' would be considered ``substantial.''
One manufacturer also stated that a ``substantial clinical
improvement'' criterion may be unnecessary, because we already have a
criterion that addresses costs that are ``not insignificant.''
Response: Although the information required for pass-through
category applications is similar for coverage determinations, the
information is used differently. The purpose of the ``reasonable and
necessary'' condition in evaluating coverage is different than the OPPS
purpose of determining appropriate pass-through payment for new
technology items. We are not attempting to determine coverage under the
OPPS, only whether a payment under the pass-through mechanism is
warranted. We adopted the ``substantial clinical improvement''
criterion to help us identify those devices that are not adequately
described by any previously established device categories.
Those who argue that we should employ a ``substantially different''
or a ``clinical benefit'' criterion rather than the ``substantial
clinical improvement'' do not answer the question as to how different a
new technology should be to be considered eligible for a new device
category. It seems to us that many of the differences listed in the
suggestion to base a criterion on ``substantial differences'' noted
above may not reflect qualitatively meaningful differences and such
devices could be adequately described by the existing or previously
existing categories. If a new device technology were adequately
described by a category of devices in terms of its clinical application
and benefits, then an additional category would not seem
[[Page 66784]]
warranted. Still, as we have stated in the November 2, 2001 interim
final rule and again above, there may be some improvements in the
medical technology itself that are so significant that we may wish to
recognize them for separate payment even though they do not directly
result in substantial clinical improvements. We will continue to allow
the flexibility in our evaluation process to consider such items for
new categories.
We believe it is harder to make a determination of substantial
difference than it is to make a determination as to substantial
clinical benefit. Furthermore, we believe that, in general,
transitional pass through payments should be made only for technologies
that benefit beneficiaries beyond the technologies currently
available.''
We believe it is harder to make a determination of substantial
difference than it is to make a determination as to substantial
clinical benefit. Furthermore, we believe that, in general,
transitional pass-through payments should be made only for technologies
that benefit beneficiaries beyond the technologies currently available.
The notion that a ``substantial clinical improvement'' criterion
may be unnecessary, because we already have a criterion that addresses
``not insignificant cost,'' is misplaced. The cost of the new
technology may or may not directly address a nominated device's
clinical benefits. Payment for a costly device may be related to a
number of factors, such as Medicare payment policy for a technology or
the cost of raw materials or manufacturing process, irrespective of
substantial clinical improvement. We established the clinical
improvement criterion in addition to the cost significance criterion
mandated under statute because one cannot accurately infer that a high
relative cost is indicative that a device cannot be described by an
existing or previous category of devices. Nor can we automatically
infer that a substantially clinically improved device necessarily bears
significantly higher cost than what we are currently paying for pass-
through devices and procedural payments through the APC payment rates.
Therefore, both criteria are needed.
Comment: In the November 2, 2001 interim final rule, we invited
public comment on the issue of substantial improvement, saying we would
be interested in examples of medical technologies for which pass-
through payments might be appropriate even though they would not pass a
test based on substantial improvement in clinical outcomes. Several
commenters pointed to differences in brachytherapy devices as examples.
These commenters said that differences in devices should be reflected
by establishing separate device categories by: different chemical
substances/radioisotope, therapeutic radiation activity levels,
implantation arrays of brachytherapy devices, and mechanisms of
injecting brachytherapy devices that improve safety and function.
Response: We have reviewed many applications for brachytherapy
devices and believe that there is a congruence between new technologies
that might be eligible for transitional pass-through payments in the
absence of producing substantial clinical benefit and new technologies
that do produce substantial clinical benefit.
Comment: Commenters requested that we clarify the process that is
employed by Federal and external experts to evaluate substantial
clinical improvement on the part of nominated devices. One commenter
expressed concern that a Federal panel of experts may slow down
decision-making and suggested a flexible process in reviewing category
applications. The commenter suggested that we rely on our internal
clinical staff to make decisions not requiring outside assistance. The
commenter also suggested that our review process should be open and
allow the manufacturer the opportunity to present information to the
panel. The list of panelists, agendas, proceedings and decisions should
be made public.
Response: Our panel consists of CMS clinical experts. We consult
with outside experts as appropriate. We believe that this process
results in making appropriate, timely decisions while allowing for
maximum flexibility. Public meetings would inevitably slow the process.
We give ample opportunity for manufacturers to provide information, and
we frequently meet with manufacturers to discuss their applications.
Comment: One commenter felt that the language of the statute does
not support our criterion that devices show evidence of substantial
clinical improvement in order to be considered for an additional
category. The commenter stated that the statutory standard that no
medical device be described by more than one category does not support
the substantial clinical improvement criterion.
Response: The statute explicitly requires us to establish criteria
that will be used for creation of additional categories. (Section
1833(t)(6)(B)(ii)(I) of the Act) This statutory requirement permits the
criteria that we have established, including demonstration of
substantial clinical improvement.
We are continuing to review the issue of technological change that
is not associated with substantial clinical benefit to beneficiaries.
We will continue to review applications for such devices on a case by
case basis and work with applicants to understand exactly what
technological changes were made to a device that would make the device
eligible for transitional pass through payments. We solicit further
examples of such devices so that, in the future, we may establish a
more definite criterion for when such changes make a device eligible
for transitional pass through payments.
Comment: Associations representing manufacturers stated that our
assertion in the preamble of the November 2, 2001 interim final rule
that says MedPAC's recommendation that pass-through payments for
specific technologies be made only when a technology is new or
substantially improved is a misinterpretation. The commenters asserted
that MedPAC considers the concepts of improvements in devices
themselves and substantial improvement to be separate, and that either
of the two should be required for a criterion related to device
improvement for pass-through eligibility.
Response: While we continue to believe that, in general, new
technologies without a demonstrated substantial clinical benefit to
beneficiaries should not receive transitional pass-through payments, we
do review nominated devices for technological changes that are not
associated with substantial clinical benefit to beneficiaries.
Comment: An association representing device manufacturers stated
that our substantial clinical improvement criterion would significantly
increase the time between FDA approval to market the device and
recognition of the device for pass-through payment. The commenter
claimed that this is counter to an objective of the pass-through
payment mechanism as a means to promote rapid payment in the OPPS for
new technology. This commenter, therefore, recommended replacing the
criterion to demonstrate substantial clinical improvement with a
requirement to demonstrate ``potential improvement.''
Similarly, another manufacturers' association asserted that
clinical outcomes information should not be required for eligibility
for a new pass-through category. This commenter suggested that our
rules should request information that is appropriate and
[[Page 66785]]
relevant for the product and related procedures, which should include
information other than published clinical trials.
Response: We are making every effort to minimize the time lag
between FDA approval and establishment of a device category. We believe
that we have succeeded in making timely decisions in this regard.
We will consider other information in addition to clinical outcomes
that is available when clinical trial data are not yet available.
We do not know how one can demonstrate ``potential'' clinical
improvement. ``Potential'' refers to the anticipated or possible
capability, belief, or expectation for clinical improvement, without
the evidentiary demonstration yet.
We do not believe potential improvement is an appropriate
criterion. First, it would be difficult to prove; second, we would be
in the position of potentially making extra payments for technologies
that actually harmed beneficiaries. Thus using ``potential'' clinical
improvement would assure that all new devices would meet such a
criteria if the manufacturer asserted that the device in question
offers a ``potential'' clinical improvement.''
Comment: Some commenters expressed concern with our rule that
devices that are described by an existing category are not eligible for
new categories. Some call for flexibility in applying this criterion,
claiming that some of our category descriptors are too broad and
confusing. One manufacturer was particularly concerned that newer
technology pacemakers, internal cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and
pacemaker and ICD leads would be precluded from achieving new
categories because they could be described by widely defined existing
categories. The commenter stated that we should revise definitions of
existing categories whenever necessary in order to accommodate the
creation of new categories. Revising category descriptions to make them
less broadly worded was one such example provided, including categories
related to pacemakers, ICDs, and pacemaker and ICD leads.
Some commenters felt that new categories would need to be created
in order to track cost of newer devices, even if they are described by
existing categories. These commenters asserted that device costs
eventually must be placed into APCs that appropriately reflect costs
for future payment. Some commenters claimed that investigational
devices that attained pass-through status have low procedural volumes
and therefore they are underrepresented in the cost data.
Response: We believe that broadly defined categories are
appropriate. Such categories are easier for coders to understand and
allow devices to immediately receive transitional pass-through payments
upon being marketed (instead of going through an application process).
We have applied this criterion appropriately. There are devices that
have been deemed eligible for a new category because the clinical
applications are substantially different than devices of existing
categories.
Some category descriptions have been modified when it has been
brought to our attention that the descriptor is unclear. We first
revised the descriptors of device categories in Program Memorandum A-
01-73, effective July 1, 2001, in order to clarify the devices covered
by categories. However, we do not intend to revise descriptors solely
to allow the creation of new categories. If a device or class of
devices is described by the categories we initially created, we will
apply the criteria we implemented to determine whether an additional
category is warranted. If we determine that an additional category is
needed to adequately describe and pay for new devices, we will create a
category. If in the course of that determination, we find that
clarification of an existing or previously existing category is needed
so that only one category describes the device, as required by statute,
then we will modify the description of the existing or previously
existing category or categories, in order to achieve that
clarification.
We are maintaining our criteria to establish a new category of
devices for pass-through payment.
Cost. We determine that the estimated cost to hospitals of the
devices in a new category (including any candidate devices and the
other devices that we believe will be included in the category) is
``not insignificant'' relative to the payment rate for the applicable
procedures. The estimated cost of devices in a category is considered
``not insignificant'' if it meets the following criteria found in
regulations at new Sec. 419.66(d):
[sbull] The estimated average reasonable cost of devices in the
category exceeds 25 percent of the applicable APC payment amount for
the service associated with the category of devices.
[sbull] The estimated average reasonable cost of devices in the
category exceeds the cost of the device-related portion of the APC
payment amount for the service associated with the category of devices
by at least 25 percent.
[sbull] The difference between the estimated average reasonable
cost of the devices in the category and the portion of the APC payment
amount determined to be associated with the device in the associated
APC exceeds 10 percent of the total APC payment.
Of these three cost criteria, the latter two remain unchanged from
the existing thresholds for individual devices (however, as discussed
below, their effective date was revised). The first criterion, however,
represents a change in the percentage threshold.
In the April 7, 2000 final rule, we provided that a device's
expected reasonable cost must exceed 25 percent of the applicable APC
payment for the associated service as the criterion for determining
when the cost of a specific device is ``not insignificant'' in relation
to the APC payment (65 FR 18480). In the August 3, 2000 interim final
rule, we lowered the threshold to 10 percent because we believed the 25
percent limit was too restrictive based on the brand specific approach
at the time (65 FR 47673; Sec. 419.43(e)(1)(iv)(C)). However, given
our payment experience in 2001 using the 10 percent threshold,
including our information on the estimated amount of pass-through
payments in CY 2002, we determined a higher threshold was warranted. We
believed that setting a higher cost threshold ensures that new
categories are created only in those instances where they are most
valuable to beneficiaries and hospitals, given the overall limits on
pass-through payments. That is, pass-through payments will be targeted
only to those devices where cost considerations might be most likely to
interfere with patient access.
We found that once we lowered the threshold to 10 percent, a very
small minority (less than 10 percent) of devices that met all other
criteria for the pass-through payment was rejected on the basis of this
criterion. Partly as a result, the list of devices qualified for pass-
through payments increased to well over 1,000 devices by the end of
2000. Although the extensive number of qualified devices allowed
hospitals to receive additional payment for many devices, we estimated
that the overall pass-through payment amount for calendar year 2002
would exceed the 2.5 percent cap. Therefore, for that year, a
substantial reduction in the amount of each pass-through payment, as
required by section 1833(t)(6)(E)(iii) of the Act, was established.
Thus, allowing a large number of marginally costly devices to qualify
for the pass-through payment
[[Page 66786]]
would reduce the amount of additional payment a hospital would receive
for any one device. We believe raising the threshold for this criterion
benefits hospitals by focusing the pass-through payments on those
devices that represent a substantial loss to the hospital. We believe
this change also preserves beneficiary access to especially expensive
devices.
In addition, once a category is established, devices included in
the category are eligible for pass-through payments regardless of the
cost of the devices. Therefore, we determined that it is reasonable to
set a higher threshold than 10 percent to establish a new category.
While the cost of most devices described by a category may equal or
exceed the threshold we use in establishing a category, the cost of
individual devices could easily fall below the threshold. Therefore, we
believe that it is reasonable to use a higher threshold in establishing
a category than in qualifying individual devices.
Concerning the latter two criteria for determining that the
estimated cost of a category of devices is not insignificant, we
intended to apply these criteria to devices for which a pass-through
payment is first made on or after January 1, 2003, as we provided in
the August 3, 2000 interim final rule (65 FR 47673). We stated that the
delay would allow us sufficient time to gather and analyze data needed
to determine the current portion of the APC payment associated with the
devices.
Based on the outpatient claims data we have been using for
analysis, we have been able, in many cases, to use these criteria as of
the November 2, 2001 interim final rule. Although the 1996 data did not
provide a level of information that allowed us to determine the portion
of the APC payment that was related to the device (except in a very few
cases such as pacemakers), the later data have generally provided this
level of detail. Therefore we applied the second and third cost
criteria for the purpose of determining eligibility of proposed new
categories, as described in regulations at Sec. 419.66(d)(2) and Sec.
419.66(d)(3), as soon after the implementation of the November 2, 2001
interim final rule as we had data to do so rather than on January 1,
2003. Although in some instances the lack of specific data prevented
the application of these criteria, we believed that should not delay
our use of these criteria in those situations in which the data have
been available.
In order to implement these second and third criteria for the
purpose of creating new device categories, it is necessary to obtain
the cost of the device-related portion of the APC payment amount. For
evaluations of device category applications in 2002, we used the
device-offset amounts published in our March 1, 2002 final rule (67 FR
9557 through 9558), which are used to calculate the subtractions to
device pass-through payments. For 2003, we will use the device-offset
amounts found in Table 11 in this rule as the device-related portion of
the APC payment needed for cost criteria 2 and 3. The device-offset
amounts represent the device costs that have been folded into the
respective APC payment rates. In those cases where an application is
received in which the service-related HCPCS codes for the device is
mapped to no APC that has a device offset amount, we apply only the
first cost criterion.
Comment: Some commenters wrote that while we need to limit pass-
through payments for new categories to those devices that are clearly
underpaid relative to the APC rates, our ``not insignificant'' cost
tests set the bar too high. Some held that this is particularly the
case for APCs with high relative weights and consequent payments, in
which our 25 percent minimum percentage of the APC as well as the
device offset represent a significant cost to the hospital in absolute
terms. Commenters proposed alternate percentage thresholds with
specific dollar caps (for example, 20 percent of the APC payment or
$1,000, whichever is less).
Response: In the cases of APCs with high relative weights and
payment rates, such payments already encompass much of the costs of
devices. The thresholds in dollar terms in those cases should be set
higher to test for cost significance. We have heard from many
commenters to our August 9, 2002 proposed rule that many device costs
consist of a large percentage of the APC cost. The ratio method (for
example, 25 percent) therefore equitably accounts for APC payment
differences for devices.
We do not see any compelling reason to adopt the proposed alternate
percentages of the APC amount as the threshold of using as an
alternative to our current cost significance threshold of 25 percent
for device portions related to any respective APC. Moreover, the
initial pass-through categories were based on devices that achieved
pass-through status with a lower 10 percent threshold.
Comment: Another commenter claimed that the statutory language
demonstrates the congressional intent that only the cost of the devices
in a category be compared to the applicable APC payment. Therefore,
only the first of our three prongs to test cost significance of a new
device should be used. This commenter claimed that section 1833(t)(6)
of the Act states that we shall provide pass-through payments only for
categories of devices when ``the average cost of the category of
devices is not insignificant in relation to the OPD fee schedule amount
* * * .'' The commenter further advocated that our criteria be amended
to reflect that a proposed category of devices be required to meet any
one of the three prongs, to give some weight to the potential benefits
of the second and third prongs.
Response: The statute requires that the average cost of a new
device category is not insignificant in relation to the OPD fee
schedule amount payable for the service or group of services involved.
The statute further requires the Secretary to establish criteria for
creating additional categories, including criteria for cost
significance. Beyond those requirements, the statute allows the
Secretary the discretion to determine how to apply the cost significant
criterion.
In developing the specific criteria for meeting the statutory cost
significance requirement, we established thresholds which we believe
ensure that new categories are created where they are most valuable to
beneficiaries and hospitals, given the overall limits on pass-through
payments. Our goal is to target pass-through payments at those devices
where cost considerations might be most likely to interfere with
patient access.
To properly target the pass-through payments at devices that could
represent a substantial loss to the hospital, it is important to both
assess the incremental cost of performing the procedure using the new
device as well as to compare the cost of the new device against the
costs of existing devices already packaged into the APC payment for the
procedure.
The first prong of our three prong criterion tests only the
relationship of the new device to the cost of the entire procedure
whereas the second and third prongs test for the relationship to device
costs already incorporated into the payment rate for the procedure.
Comment: A hospital organization supported our two major criteria
for establishing an additional device category for pass-through
payment, that is, that a category of devices must demonstrate
substantial clinical improvement and have costs that are ``not
insignificant'' in relation to the APC payment. In particular, the
[[Page 66787]]
organization supported our decision to raise the threshold that device
costs for a new category must exceed 25 percent of the related APC
payment, as well as our re-institution of the two additional prongs of
the not-insignificant cost test. However, the commenter noted that we
had previously delayed the implementation of these latter two prongs of
the ``not insignificant'' cost criterion until January 1, 2003, so that
we could ensure reliable and accurate data to make the cost estimates.
The organization would support the reinstitution of these cost prongs
that establish that costs are not insignificant only when CMS has
sufficiently accurate and reliable data to make such estimates. The
commenter also believes that the data and methodology should be made
available to the public for review.
This organization also felt that the (then) current number of
initial categories is appropriate. It urged us to make application
information regarding any proposed new categories public for comment
before final creation of a new category.
Response: Based on the outpatient claims data we have been using
for analysis, we have been able, in many cases, to use the second and
third cost criteria since the November 2, 2001 interim final rule
became effective. Although the 1996 data did not provide a level of
information that allowed us to determine the portion of the APC payment
that was related to the device (except in a very few cases such as
pacemakers), the later data we have used has generally provided this
level of detail. Therefore, we applied the second and third cost
criteria. As noted earlier, for 2002, we have used the device offsets
we calculated for subtracting the cost of existing devices in APCs as
the portion of the APC payment related to the device. We feel the
offsets have been appropriate as this portion of the APC payment, and
we will use them for 2003 as well. We therefore feel this commenter's
concerns have been addressed.
We will continue to use the three prongs of the not insignificant
cost test as published in the November 2, 2001 interim final rule.
1. Application Process for Creation of a New Device Category
Device manufacturers, hospitals, or other interested parties may
apply for a new device category for transitional pass-through payments.
Details regarding the informational requirements, deadlines for
quarterly review, and other aspects of the application process are
available on our Web site, http://cms.hhs.gov.
We will accept applications at any time. However, we will establish
new categories only at the beginning of a calendar quarter, in
deference to our computer systems needs and those of our contractors
and hospitals. We must receive applications in sufficient time before
the beginning of the calendar quarter in which a category would be
established to allow for decision-making and programming. For now, we
will require that applications be received at least 4 months before the
beginning of the quarter. Moreover, we have found, that, due to the
complexity of the information and review process for additional
categories, we cannot always complete our review within that time
frame. Review of applications involving devices with new technologies
often involves requesting additional information from the applicants,
as well as consultation with experts in certain clinical specialties
(usually here at CMS) or with other clinical personnel at CMS with
expertise in Medicare coverage issues, as needed (for example, the
hearing aid issue).
We may change the details of this application process in the future
to reflect experience in evaluating applications and programmatic
needs. If we revise these instructions, we will submit the revisions to
the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
We will also post the revisions on our Web site.
Comment: One commenter recommended that we post draft new
categories and any draft changes to existing categories to our Web site
for public review and comment before final publication, as a
collaborative, informal process to be accomplished within the 4-month
quarterly application evaluation and update time frame.
Response: Such process could not be accomplished within the 4-month
time frame. We note that the greater part of the four month period is
consumed in systems changes, not review of the application, so little
time is available for further information. Thus, further consultation
would result in longer timeframes for action. We have listened and met
with many parties concerning recommendations for additional categories
and heard their concerns related to our existing and new categories and
will continue to do so. However, we believe that the review,
evaluation, and decision process and publication process for new
category applications to meet the closest feasible quarterly updates is
already compact. However, we will continue to consider informal
comments or feedback from hospitals, manufacturers, and other parties
regarding our decisions.
Comment: An association of manufacturers of brachytherapy sources
and other brachytherapy devices recommended that we establish several
specific new categories.
Response: We have established a uniform method for evaluating
applications for new categories, based on the application information
published on our Web site. We evaluate the necessity of new categories
based on the specific information we receive, such as clinical
differences between items nominated for the new categories and the
existing or previously existing categories. We therefore are not able
to react to the specific categories recommended through public comments
by this commenter without complete applications on the subject
brachytherapy sources.
We are making no change to our application process at this time.
2. Announcing a New Device Category
When we determine a new category is warranted, we issue a Program
Memorandum specifying a new Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System
(HCPCS, formerly known as HCFA Common Procedure Coding System) code and
short and long descriptors for the category. We may also include
additional clarifying or definitional information to help distinguish
the new category from other existing or previously existing categories.
It may be necessary to redefine, or make other changes to, existing or
previously existing categories to accommodate a new category and ensure
that no medical device is described by more than one category, though
we attempt to keep these changes to a minimum. We will post these
Program Memoranda on our Web site on a quarterly basis. We may find it
necessary occasionally to correct or amend the list of (and clarifying
information associated with) pass-through device categories. We do not
expect this step will be needed often, but if it is necessary, we will
issue any changes in a Program Memorandum.
VI. Wage-Index Changes for Calendar Year 2003
Section 1833(t)(2)(D) of the Act requires that we determine a wage
adjustment factor to adjust for geographic wage differences, in a
budget-neutral manner, the portion of the OPPS payment rate and
copayment amount that is attributable to labor and labor-related costs.
We used the proposed Federal fiscal year (FY) 2003 hospital
inpatient PPS
[[Page 66788]]
wage index to make wage adjustments in determining the proposed payment
rates set forth in the proposed rule. We also proposed to use the final
FY 2003 hospital inpatient wage index to calculate the final CY 2003
payment rates and coinsurance amounts for OPPS. We used the final
Federal FY 2003 hospital inpatient PPS wage index to make wage
adjustments in determining the final payment rates set forth in this
final rule with comment. The final FY 2003 hospital inpatient wage
index published in the August 1, 2002 Federal Register (67 FR 39858) is
reprinted in this final rule with comment as Addendum H--Wage Index for
Urban Areas; Addendum I--Wage Index for Rural Areas; and Addendum J--
Wage Index for Hospitals That Are Reclassified. We use the final FY
2003 hospital inpatient wage index to calculate the payment rates and
coinsurance amounts published in this final rule with comment to
implement the OPPS for CY 2003. We note, however, that from time to
time, there are mid-year corrections to these wage indices and that our
contractors will adopt and implement the mid-year charges for OPPS in
the same manner that they made mid-year changes for inpatient hospital
prospective payment.
Comment: A commenter asked for an explanation of the rationale
behind applying the area wage index to the device component of an APC.
Also, another commenter urged us to clarify that APCs for drugs and
biologicals would not be subject to geographic wage adjustment since
the APC payment rates primarily reflect drug acquisition costs, not
labor costs.
Response: Our rationale for applying the area wage index to the
device component of an APC is that once a device cost is packaged into
a procedure APC, we do not differentiate between which costs in the APC
should or should not have the area wage index applied. We believe that
it would be complicated and prone to error to segment out a device
component of the APC and determine the appropriate portion of the APC
payment amount that consists of device cost only. To address the second
issue, we would like to clarify that we do not apply the area wage
index to payment rates for drugs and biologicals that are assigned to
the status indicator G or K.
VII. Copayment for Calendar Year 2003
Section 1833(t)(8)(C)(ii) of the Act accelerates the reduction of
beneficiary copayment amounts, providing that, for services furnished
on or after April 1, 2001, and before January 1, 2002, the national
unadjusted coinsurance for an APC cannot exceed 57 percent of the APC
payment rate. The statute provides that the national unadjusted
coinsurance for an APC cannot exceed 55 percent in 2002 and 2003. The
statute provides for further reductions in future years so that the
national unadjusted coinsurance for an APC cannot exceed 55 percent of
the APC payment rate in 2002 and 2003, 50 percent in 2004, 45 percent
in 2005, and 40 percent in 2006 and thereafter.
For 2003, we determined copayment amounts for new and revised APCs
using the same methodology that we implemented for 2002 (see the
November 30, 2001 final at 66 FR 59888). See Addendum B for national
unadjusted copayments for 2003. Our regulations at Sec. 419.41 conform
to this provision of the Act.
VIII. Conversion Factor Update for Calendar Year 2003
Section 1833(t)(3)(C)(ii) of the Act requires us to update the
conversion factor used to determine payment rates under the OPPS on an
annual basis.
Section 1833(t)(3)(C)(iv) of the Act provides that for 2003, the
update is equal to the hospital inpatient market basket percentage
increase applicable to hospital discharges under section
1886(b)(3)(B)(iii) of the Act.
The most recent forecast of the hospital market basket increase for
FY 2003 is 3.5 percent. To set the proposed OPPS conversion factor for
2003, we increased the 2002 conversion factor of $50.904 (the figure
from the March 1, 2002 final rule (67 FR 9556)) by 3.5 percent.
In accordance with section 1833(t)(9)(B) of the Act, we further
adjusted the conversion factor for 2003 to ensure that the revisions we
made to update the wage index are made on a budget-neutral basis. We
calculated the proposed budget-neutrality factor of .98778 for wage-
index changes by comparing total payments from our simulation model
using the proposed FY 2003 hospital inpatient PPS wage-index values to
those payments using the current (FY 2002) wage-index values.
The increase factor of 3.5 percent for 2003 and the required wage-
index budget-neutrality adjustment of .98715 resulted in a proposed
conversion factor for 2003 of 52.009.
In determining the proposed conversion factor of 52.009, we
projected 2.5 percent pass-through payments based on our preliminary
estimates of pass-through payments for CY 2003. As described in the
section IV discussion of the pro-rata provisions, our final estimate of
pass-through payments in CY 2003 is 2.3 percent of the total program
payments for covered OPD services. Therefore, we have increased the
final conversion factor to reflect the projected change in pass-through
spending from 2.5 percent to 2.3 percent. After applying this
adjustment, the 3.5 percent update factor and the final budget-
neutrality adjustment of .98778 to account for changes due to the final
FY 2003 hospital inpatient wage-index values, we establish the final
conversion factor for 2003 at $52.151 (or 52.152).
We received several comments concerning the conversion factor
update for 2003, which are summarized below along with our responses.
Comment: Several commenters contended that CMS imposed excessive
pro-rata reductions in 2002, which exacerbated the inadequacy of
Medicare payments and urged CMS to use its statutory authority under
section 1833(t)(3)(C)(iii) to adjust the 2003 conversion factor for the
unexpectedly low pass-through payments made in 2002.
Response: The commenters' estimates are based on 2001 claims. We do
not know yet whether there will be excessive pro-rata reductions in
2002 because at the time of this rule, we do not have more than first-
quarter 2002 claims data available. Therefore, it would not be
appropriate to make such an adjustment. Furthermore, we do not believe
that the statute permits us to make retroactive adjustments.
Comment: One commenter stated that the statute requires the
conversion factor to be updated by the full increase in the hospital
inpatient market basket of 3.5 percent, but the application of a
budget-neutrality factor of .987156 results in an update factor of only
2.17 percent. Another commenter indicated the belief that the amount of
reduction from the 3.5 percent market basket update is excessive and
beyond what is required to achieve statutory goals. The commenter
recommended that the 2003 conversion factor be increased.
Response: Statute requires us to ensure that a conversion factor
for covered OPD services in subsequent years is an amount equal to the
conversion factor applicable to the previous year before any increases
due to the market-basket increase. In order to ensure that we maintain
budget neutrality (except for the market-basket increase), we must make
an adjustment to account for changes in the wage index. To do so, we
calculate the total payments for 2002, using the 2002 wage index and
weights, and compare that result to total payments calculated by
applying the new 2003 wage index to
[[Page 66789]]
the 2002 APC weights. For 2003, that comparison resulted in the .969
adjustment.
IX. Outlier Policy for Calendar Year 2003
For OPPS services furnished between August 1, 2000, and April 1,
2002, we calculated outlier payments in the aggregate for all OPPS
services that appear on a bill in accordance with section 1833(t)(5)(D)
of the Act. In the November 30, 2001 final rule (66 FR 59856, 59888),
we specified that beginning with 2002, we will calculate outlier
payments based on each individual OPPS service. We revised the
aggregate method that we had used to calculate outlier payments and
began to determine outliers on a service-by-service basis.
As explained in the April 7, 2000 final rule (65 FR 18498), we set
a target for outlier payments at 2.0 percent of total payments. For
purposes of simulating payments to calculate outlier thresholds, we
proposed to set the target for outlier payments at 2.0 percent. The
target was 2.0 percent for CY 2001 and 1.5 percent for 2002. For 2002,
the outlier threshold is met when costs of furnishing a service or
procedure exceed 3.5 times the APC payment amount, and the current
outlier payment percentage is 50 percent of the amount of costs in
excess of the threshold. Based on our simulations for 2003, we proposed
to set the threshold for 2003 at 2.75 times the APC payment amounts,
and the proposed 2003 payment percentage applicable to costs over the
threshold at 50 percent.
In this final rule we are setting the target amount for outlier
payments at 2 percent of total payments. Based on revised simulations
performed for the final rule, in order to pay outlier payments at the
target amount, we are adopting the proposed outlier threshold of 2.75
but decreasing the outlier payment percentage to 45 percent.
Simulations using the final APC rates and projecting outlier payments
for 2003 using a different set of claims than we used for the proposed
rule (claims for the period April 1, 2001 through March 31, 2002
instead of claims for calendar year 2001) resulted in outlier payments
that were in excess of the 2 percent outlier payment target. In order
to meet, but not exceed, the target we found it necessary to either
increase the proposed outlier threshold of 2.75 or reduce the proposed
outlier payment percentage of 50 percent. Because we wanted to make it
easier for more for high cost services to qualify for outlier payments,
we chose to adopt the proposed outlier threshold but reduce the outlier
payment percentage to 45 percent. For 2003, the outlier threshold will
be met when costs of furnishing a service or procedure exceed 2.75
times the APC payment amount, and the outlier payment percent will be
45 percent of the amount of costs in excess of the threshold.
We received a number of comments concerning our proposed threshold
and percentages for outlier payments, which are summarized below along
with our responses. We also received comments concerning the changes
that we proposed and finalized in 2002 with respect to the calculation
of outliers on a service-by-service basis. Because we have not proposed
any changes to the current policy, we do not summarize those comments
in this preamble.
Comment: A number of commenters commended CMS on lowering the
outlier threshold, but they urged CMS to reduce the threshold even
further. The commenters also said that the outlier payment percentage
of 50 percent of costs in excess of the outlier threshold was not
sufficient to offset the losses hospitals incur in high-cost cases.
Some of these commenters urged CMS to adopt the same marginal payment
rate of 80 percent that is used for calculating outliers under the
inpatient PPS.
Response: Under the OPPS, CMS must address two needs: the need to
balance payment for high-cost cases with the need to ensure that
appropriate payments are made for basic services for the average
patient population. By setting our outlier target of 2 percent, we
believe that we have struck the right balance to accomplish these
goals.
Comment: According to one commenter, new technologies and drugs are
expanding too rapidly for CMS to appropriately account for the costs in
the APCs, which is a particular concern at larger hospitals that
provide a wide scope of services and access to new technologies and
drugs. The commenter said that outliers can help defray the costs of
new technologies until adequately reflected in the APC payments and
urged CMS to consider expanding the outlier target from 2 percent to
2.5 percent. Another commenter contended that the transition of
expiring pass-through items into APCs will result in dramatic payment
reductions and urged CMS to reduce the outlier threshold to 2.5 times
the APC payment amount for 2003 and increase the outlier target as
close as possible to the statutory maximum of 2.5 percent of total
payments.
Response: As described elsewhere in this final rule, the
recalibration of weights based on newer data and the additional steps
that we have taken to limit the payment reductions should decrease the
need for outliers. Also, the pass-through provisions for new drugs and
devices and our payment mechanism for new technology procedures provide
hospitals with an additional mechanism to defray costs for emerging
technologies.
Comment: A number of commenters said that CMS does not provide
sufficient data to support how outlier payments and thresholds are
determined and to ensure that outlier payments are being made in the
range of 2 percent to 2.5 percent. Additional outlier data that the
commenters requested include information such as the actual outlays as
compared to forecasted outlays 2001, estimated outlays for 2002, the
historical outlier percentage of total OPPS payments, and information
on the types of cases that are qualifying for outlier payments. The
commenters wanted CMS to provide supporting information in the final
rule, just as it does for the inpatient PPS.
Response: We agree with the commenters that we should provide this
data. However, due to the time constraints in producing this final
rule, we are unable to add this information to this preamble.
Nonetheless, we will post this information to our Web site shortly
after publication of the rule. We will notify the public through the
CMS listserv when the information is available. To subscribe to this
listserv, please go to the following Web site: www.cms.hhs.gov/medlearn/listserv. Follow the directions for subscribing to the OPPS
listserv to get the most up-to-date information on OPPS directly from
CMS.
Comment: One commenter expressed concern that CMS has made
significant changes to the outlier target and eligibility thresholds in
2002 and 2003, in opposite directions, without sufficiently supporting
the changes with experiential data. The commenter maintained that, in
aggregate, outlier payments as a percentage of total payments should
remain relatively predictable and, therefore, questions whether the
experience in 2001 and 2002 would support the significant swings in
funding and thresholds.
Response: It is too early for us to tell what the 2002 experience
has been like in order to compare it to the 2001 experience.
Nevertheless, as indicated in the previous response, we will also
notify the public and share the 2001 data on our Web site.
Comment: One commenter urged CMS to provide clarification regarding
the rationale to decrease the cost threshold that permits more items to
qualify for outlier payments, rather than
[[Page 66790]]
to increase the payment percentage from its current level of 50
percent, which would provide more payments for high-cost cases.
Response: We apply an iterative process in which we try different
combinations of thresholds and payment percentages until an appropriate
combination results in outlier payments under our simulation that is
equal to the target percentage of total OPPS payments. While some
fluctuation is expected each year due to the use of newer and better
data and policy changes, we attempt both to strike a balance and to
prevent (to the extent possible) large changes in the outlier payments
to hospitals. A significant increase in the threshold would limit the
number of services and hospitals that qualify for outlier services.
Comment: One commenter expressed concern that without correcting
for the significant reductions proposed for a number of high-cost APCs,
those services may unnecessarily qualify for outlier payments because
the costs that go into the outlier calculation are calculated using a
hospital's overall cost-to-charge ratio (CCR), which may be higher than
the departmental CCRs used to determine costs for payment-rate
calculations. The commenter contends that, if this occurs, it will
result in outlier payments that are higher than anticipated, which
could unduly raise thresholds in the future and affect the integrity of
the outlier policy.
Response: As described elsewhere in this rule, we believe that the
adjustments we have made to many APC rates for this final rule will
address the commenter's concerns about services unnecessarily
qualifying for outlier payments.
X. Other Policy Decisions and Changes
A. Hospital Coding for Evaluation and Management (E/M) Services
Background
Currently, facilities code clinic and emergency department visits
using the same current procedural terminology (CPT) codes as
physicians. For both clinic and emergency department visits, there are
five levels of care. While there is only one set of codes for emergency
visits, clinic visits are differentiated by new patient, established
patient, and consultation visits. CPT codes 99201 through 99205 are
used for new patients, CPT codes 99211 through 99215 are used for
established patients, and CPT codes 99281 through 99285 for emergency
patients.
Physicians determine the proper code for reporting their services
by referring to CPT descriptors and our documentation guidelines. The
descriptors and guidelines are helpful to physicians because they
reference taking a history, performing an examination, and making
medical decisions. The lower levels of service (for example, CPT codes
99201, 99211, and 99281) are used for shorter visits and for patients
with uncomplicated problems, and the higher levels of service (for
example, CPT codes 99205, 99215, and 99285) are used for longer visits
and patients with complex problems.
These codes were defined to reflect the activities of physicians.
It is generally agreed, however, that they do not describe well the
range and mix of services provided by facilities to clinic and
emergency patients (for example, ongoing nursing care, preparation for
diagnostic tests, and patient education).
Before the implementation of the OPPS, facilities were paid on the
basis of charges reduced to costs. In that system, because use of a
correct HCPCS code did not influence payment, there was little
incentive to correctly report the level of service. In fact, many
facilities reported all clinic and emergency visits with the lowest
level of service (for example, CPT codes 99211, 99201, and 99281)
simply to minimize administrative burden (for example, charge-masters
might include only one level of service).
This situation changed with the implementation of the OPPS. The
OPPS requires correct reporting of services using HCPCS codes as a
prerequisite to payment. For emergency and clinic visits, the OPPS
distinguishes three levels of service for payment purposes. These are
referred to as ``low-level,'' ``mid-level,'' and ``high-level''
emergency or clinic visits. Payment rates for low-level visits are less
than for mid-level visits, which are less than rates for high-level
visits.
In the April 7, 2000 final rule (65 FR 18434), we stated that to
pay hospitals properly, it was important that emergency and clinic
visits be coded properly. To facilitate proper coding, we required each
hospital to create an internal set of guidelines to determine what
level of visit to report for each patient. We stated in the rule, that
if hospitals set up these guidelines and follow them, they would be in
compliance with OPPS coding requirements for the visits. Furthermore,
we announced that we would be reviewing this issue and planned to set
national guidelines for coding clinic and emergency visits in the
future. In the August 24, 2001 proposed rule (66 FR 44672), we asked
for public comments regarding national guidelines for hospital coding
of emergency and clinic visits. We also announced that we would compile
these comments and present them to our APC Panel at the January 2002
meeting. We also announced that we planned to propose uniform national
facility coding guidelines in the proposed rule for the 2003 OPPS.
During its January 2002 meeting, the APC Panel reviewed written
comments, heard oral testimony, discussed the issue, and made
recommendations concerning establishment of facility coding guidelines
for emergency and clinic visits. Among those who submitted oral and
written comments to us and to the Panel were national hospital
organizations, national physician organizations, hospital systems,
individual hospitals, coding organizations, and consultants.
APC Panel Recommendations
The APC Panel reviewed the comments that we received, reviewed
background material we prepared, and heard oral testimony. Most
commenters recommended that we adopt the ACEP guidelines. However, one
organization representing cancer centers stated that the most
appropriate proxy for facility resource consumption in cancer care is
staff time and asked that we consider basing our guidelines on staff
time. Commenters agreed that we needed to address this problem in the
proposed rule for CY 2003. They also agreed that to address potential
HIPAA compliance issues, we should develop new HCPCS codes for facility
visits; and that we should maintain five levels of service for
emergency and clinic visits until data are available to show that only
three levels of service are required to ensure accurate payments.
Commenters also agreed that, for the same level of service, clinic
resource consumption should be similar for new, established, and
consultation patients. Therefore, we need only create a single set of
five codes for clinic visits.
After a thorough discussion, the APC technical panel made the
following recommendations:
1. Propose and make final facility coding guidelines for E/M
services for calendar year 2003.
2. Create a series of G codes with appropriate descriptors for
facility E/M services.
3. Maintain a single set of codes, with five levels of service, for
emergency department visits.
4. Develop a single set of codes, with five levels of service, for
clinic visits.
[[Page 66791]]
The Panel specifically recommended that we not differentiate among
visit types (for example, new, established, and consultation visits)
for the purposes of facility coding of clinic visits.
5. Adopt the ACEP facility coding guidelines as the national
guidelines for facility coding of emergency department visits.
6. Develop guidelines for clinic visits that are modeled on the
ACEP guidelines but are appropriate for clinic visits.
7. Implement these guidelines as interim and continue to work with
appropriate organizations and stakeholders to develop final guidelines.
Proposed Rule
We reviewed the written comments, the oral testimony before the APC
Panel, and the Panel's recommendations; we agreed that facility-coding
guidelines should be implemented as soon as possible. We were
particularly concerned that facilities be able to comply with HIPAA
requirements. We announced that we have worked, and will continue to
work, on this issue with hospitals, organizations representing
hospitals, physicians, and organizations representing physicians. We
noted that the AMA CPT Editorial Panel is not currently considering the
issue of facility coding guidelines for clinic visits and that the
earliest any CPT guidelines could be implemented would be in January
2004. Additionally, consistent with the intent of the outpatient
prospective payment system, we wanted to ensure that reporting of
hospital emergency and clinic visits is resource based.
After careful review and consideration of written comments, oral
testimony and the APC Panel's recommendations, we proposed the
following (for implementation no earlier than January 2004):
1. To develop five G codes to describe emergency department
services: GXXX1--Level 1 Facility Emergency Services, GXXX2--Level 2
Facility Emergency Services, GXXX3--Level 3 Facility Emergency
Services, GXXX4--Level 4 Facility Emergency Services, and GXXX5--Level
5 Facility Emergency Services.
2. To develop five G codes to describe clinic visits: GXXX6--Level
1 Facility Clinic Services, GXXX7--Level 2 Facility Clinic Services,
GXXX8--Level 3 Facility Clinic Services, GXXX9--Level 4 Facility Clinic
Services, and GXXX10--Level 5 Facility Clinic Services.
3. To replace CPT Visit Codes with the 10 new G codes for OPPS
payment purposes.
4. To establish separate documentation guidelines for emergency
visits and clinic visits.
With regard to the documentation guidelines, our primary concerns
were to make appropriate payment for medically necessary care, to
minimize the information collection and reporting burden on facilities,
and to minimize any incentive to provide unnecessary or low quality
care. We realized that many facilities use complaint or diagnosis
driven care protocols and that current documentation standards do not
include documentation of staff time or the complexity of diagnostic and
therapeutic services provided. Therefore, in the interest of
facilitating the delivery of medically necessary care in a clinically
appropriate way, we believed that the potential drawbacks of each of
the recommended sets of guidelines outweighed the potential benefits of
creating uniformity and reproducibility. For example, any documentation
system requiring counting or quantification of resource use has the
potential to be burdensome, require clinically unnecessary
documentation, and be susceptible to upcoding and gaming. Documentation
systems using coding grids or a series of clinical examples for each
level of service are subject to interpretation, may induce variability,
may be overly complex and burdensome, and may result in disagreements
with medical reviewers. We were also concerned that all the proposed
guidelines allow counting of separately paid services (for example,
intravenous infusion, x-ray, EKG, lab tests, and so forth) as
``interventions'' or ``staff time'' in determining a level of service.
We believe that, within the constraints of clinical care and management
protocols, the level of service for emergency and clinic visits should
be determined by resource consumption that is not otherwise separately
payable.
To address these concerns, in addition to reviewing written
comments, oral comments, and the APC Panel recommendations, we also
reviewed, for the proposed rule, the current distribution of paid
emergency and clinic visit codes in the OPPS. With regard to emergency
visits, we observed that well over 50 percent of the visits were
considered ``multiple procedure claims'' because the claim includes
services such as diagnostic tests (for example, EKGs and x-rays) or
therapeutic interventions (for example, intravenous infusions). The
distribution of all emergency services was in a bell-shaped curve with
a slight left shift because there were more claims for CPT codes 99281
and 99282 than for CPT codes 99284 and 99285. This pattern of coding is
significantly different from physician billing for emergency services,
which is skewed and peaks at CPT code 99284. We also noted that the
median costs for successive levels of emergency visits show an expected
increase across APCs.
With regard to clinic visits, we observed that more than 50 percent
of the services were considered ``single claims'' meaning that they
were billed without any other significant procedures such as diagnostic
tests or therapeutic interventions. We also noted that the distribution
of clinic visits is skewed with the majority being low-level clinic
visits. This distribution was consistent with pre-OPPS billing patterns
where many facilities billed all clinic visits as low level visits.
However, the median costs for different levels of clinic services,
while similar within an APC, did not show the expected increase across
the clinic visit APCs.
Based on our review, on the current distribution of coding for
emergency and clinic visits, and on our understanding that hospitals
set charges for services based on the resources used to provide those
services, we believed that an incremental approach to developing and
implementing documentation guidelines for emergency and clinic visits
was appropriate. For example, as hospitals became more familiar with
the OPPS and with the need to differentiate emergency and clinic visits
based on resource consumption, we would continue to review the
advantages and disadvantages of detailed, uniform documentation
guidelines. We planned to begin the development of uniform guidelines
over the next year. If we were ready, we would propose the guidelines
for comments in our Federal Register document for the CY 2004 update.
For CY 2003, we proposed the following new codes:
Emergency Visits
Because, our data indicated that, in general, hospitals under the
OPPS were reporting emergency visits appropriately, we believed that
insofar as hospitals have existing guidelines for determining the level
of emergency service, those guidelines reflected facility resource
consumption. Therefore, we proposed that GXXX1--Level 1 Facility
Emergency Services be reported when facilities deliver, and document,
basic emergency department services. These services included
registration, triage, initial nursing assessment, minimal monitoring in
the emergency department (for example,
[[Page 66792]]
one additional set of vital signs), minimal diagnostic and therapeutic
services (for example, rapid strep test, urine dipstick), nursing
discharge (including brief home instructions), and exam room set up/
clean up. We expected that these services would be delivered to
patients who present with minor problems of low acuity.
With regard to GXXX2 through GXXX5, we proposed to require that
facilities develop internal documentation guidelines based on hospital
resource consumption (for example, staff time). These guidelines would
be appropriate for the type of services provided in the hospital and
also clearly differentiate the relative resource consumption for each
level of service so that a medical reviewer could easily infer the
type, complexity, and medical necessity of the services provided and
validate the level of service reported. Because of the great
variability in available facility resources, staff, and clinical
protocols among facilities, we did not believe that it is advisable to
require a single set of guidelines for all facilities. Instead, we
believed it is appropriate for each facility to develop its own
documentation guidelines that took into account the facility's clinical
protocols, available facility resources, and staff types. As stated
above, we did not propose any specific requirements with regard to the
basis of these guidelines. However, the guidelines were to be tied to
actual resource consumption in the emergency department such as number
and type of staff interventions, staff time, clinical examples, or
patient acuity. We also proposed to require that facilities have
documentation guidelines available for review upon request. The
guidelines had to emphasize relative resource consumption and not, to
the extent possible, set minimal requirements as a basis for
determining the level of service (for example, require 30 minutes of
staff time or five staff interventions to bill a level three emergency
visit).
We proposed that these requirements, if made final, would be
interim. We proposed to work with interested parties to revise these
requirements and to propose any revision to these requirements in a
future proposed rule.
Clinic Visits
We believed that the current distribution of codes for clinic
visits were due to a facility's continued use of pre-OPPS coding
policies for clinic visits. We believed that over time facilities would
become as experienced differentiating levels of clinic visits as they
were at differentiating levels of emergency visits. Therefore, we
proposed a set of guidelines for clinic visits that paralleled the
requirements for emergency visits. We proposed that GXXX6--Level 1
Facility Clinic Services, be reported when facilities deliver, and
document, basic clinic services. These services included registration,
triage, initial nursing assessment, minimal monitoring in the clinic
(for example, one additional set of vital signs), minimal diagnostic
and therapeutic services (for example, rapid strep test, urine
dipstick), nursing discharge (including brief home instructions), and
exam room set up/clean up. Our proposal for GXXX7 through GXXX10 was
the same as for GXXX2 through GXXX5 except that the facility-specific
guidelines were tied to actual resource consumption in the clinic such
as number and type of staff intervention, staff time, clinical
examples, or patient acuity. The guidelines had to differentiate the
relative resource consumption in the clinic for each level of service
sufficiently so that a medical reviewer could easily infer the type,
complexity, and medical necessity of the services provided to validate
the level of service provided.
We proposed that, if made final, these requirements would be
interim. Any changes would be proposed in a future proposed rule.
We proposed to make final, in the 2003 OPPS final rule, changes in
coding for clinic and emergency department visits and requirements
related to the development of documentation guidelines for the new
codes. However, we proposed to implement the new codes and
documentation guidelines no earlier than January 1, 2004. This would
have given hospitals time to develop documentation guidelines for the
new codes and prepare their internal billing systems to accommodate the
changes. We proposed to continue to work with hospitals throughout CY
2003 as they developed the documentation guidelines. In the proposed
rule, we solicited comments on this proposal overall as well as the
specific components of the proposal.
Comment: Many commenters recommended that CMS should keep the
current E/M coding system until national coding guidelines with
standard definitions can be established. Commenters also recommended
that CMS convene a panel of experts to develop standard code
definitions and guidelines that are simple to understand and implement
and that allow for compliance with HIPAA requirements. Commenters
generally recommended that code definitions and guidelines be
established and implemented in 2003.
Response: We agree with many of the commenters concerns. While we
agree that standard code definitions and guidelines should be
implemented as soon as possible, we want to ensure that those
definitions and guidelines are developed using an open process
involving a variety of experts (for example, clinicians, coders, and
compliance officers) in the field. Furthermore, the process should
include adequate time for the education of clinicians and coders and
for hospitals to make the necessary changes in their systems to
accommodate the codes and guidelines.
In view of the comments received we believe that the most
appropriate forum for development of code definitions and guidelines is
an independent expert panel that makes recommendations to CMS in time
for CMS to propose specific code definitions in the next year's
proposed rule. Organizations such as the American Hospital Association
(AHA) and the American Health Information Management Association
(AHIMA) have such expertise and are particularly well equipped to
provide the ongoing education of providers. We believe it is critically
important to the development, acceptance, and implementation of code
definitions and guidelines for the organizations that develop the
guidelines to also maintain them, update them, and provide ongoing
education to providers concerning them. We would be happy to work with
such an expert panel as code definitions and guidelines are developed.
We encourage any independent expert panel sending recommendations
to CMS concerning guidelines to carefully review the principles and
requirements for codes and guidelines that we announced in the proposed
rule. We still believe that any set of national guidelines must adhere
to those principles and requirements (for example, guidelines must be
resource-based). Moreover, we encourage any such panel to address our
concerns about existing guidelines (for example, potential for
upcoding) in its recommendations to CMS. For example, our Advisory
Panel on APC Groups recommended that CMS adopt the facility coding
guidelines developed by the American College of Emergency Physicians
(ACEP). While we understand that those guidelines have widespread
support in the hospital community and that an independent panel may
review them while developing guidelines, we would encourage such a
panel to review the
[[Page 66793]]
ACEP guidelines in light of the principles, requirements, and concerns
we enunciated in the proposed rule.
CMS hopes to receive recommendations on code definitions in time to
include them in the notice of proposed rulemaking for 2004. We agree
with the commenters who were concerned about implementing code
definitions without national guidelines, and we will not propose or
finalize code definitions until national guidelines for them have been
developed.
Comment: Several commenters believed that use of G codes to
describe facility visits would cause problems with payment by non-
Medicare payers for these services. They believed this problem would
worsen if the G codes were not accompanied by guidelines.
Response: G codes are national codes and must be recognized by
other payers, though other payers do not need to use these codes for
payment. We are unsure if the commenters' assertions are true. However,
as stated in the previous response, we do not plan to finalize new
codes for these services until guidelines for their use have been
developed. Moreover, we will work with CPT, as appropriate, to develop
CPT codes for these services once we have finalized and implemented
them.
Comment: One commenter asked that CMS provide protection for
hospitals against fraud and abuse allegations stemming from the current
ambiguous guidelines.
Response: We are unsure if the commenter is referring to the CPT
guidelines as being ambiguous for facilities or if the concern is over
allowing facilities to develop and implement facility-specific
guidelines until national codes and guidelines are implemented. In any
case, we believe that written facility guidelines-developed in
accordance with the principles (which we enunciated in the proposed
rule and reaffirmed in this final rule) and which are widely
disseminated in the facility, accompanied by appropriate education of
clinicians and coders, and made available to reviewers-should address
the concerns of the commenters.
Comment: Several commenters voiced concerns about what activities
should be described in possible guidelines (e.g., use of time as a
criterion for selecting a level of service), the burden on facilities
of having to adapt to a new set of codes for visits, and any
requirements for facilities to develop their own guidelines. One
commenter listed several principles for the development of facility
codes and descriptors (that is, codes and guidelines should: focus on
resource use, be supported by medical record documentation, support
code assignment by the chargemaster, and provide a means for
benchmarking medical-visit data across the industry).
Response: We believe that having an independent panel develop
guidelines and make recommendations to CMS will address the concerns of
these commenters. With regard to requiring facilities to develop
internal guidelines for visit services, we believe that development of
internal guidelines is critical for ensuring appropriate medical review
and for enabling facilities to prove that billing for services were
actually rendered.
Comment: One commenter asked CMS to clarify the terms ``nursing
assessment'' and ``nursing discharge'' when assigning a level of
service to a visit.
Response: Because we expect to receive recommendations from an
independent panel regarding coding guidelines, we will not finalize the
proposal describing what constitutes a level one emergency or clinic
visit. Instead, we will continue to allow hospitals to develop their
own internal guidelines for such visits until we finalize codes and
guidelines.
Comment: One commenter asked that we create five payment rates for
emergency and clinic visits, one for each level of service--instead of
the three payment rates that we currently use.
Response: We review the relative weights of each APC on a yearly
basis, and we would consider such a change if our claims data indicated
such a change is appropriate.
Comment: One commenter asked that we craft a surgical global
package for facilities to provide guidance for facility billing of
surgical procedures and visits.
Response: The current APC structure and coding edits already do
this. Payment for surgical procedures includes payment for all services
related to the procedure (for example, postoperative care, preoperative
valuation). Facilities may bill for visits in addition to surgical
procedures when the visit is a separately identifiable service
unrelated to the procedure. In such cases, the facilities attest to
this by appending the -25 modifier to the line item for the visit.
Comment: One commenter said that CMS should provide guidance as to
when it is appropriate to add together levels of service from two
visits, and bill one visit at a higher level. Another commenter
requested that CMS stop using the GO condition code in favor of the -27
modifier.
Response: We disagree. Each clinic visit should be coded
separately. It is important to track utilization and for each clinic
visit to be reported separately. This is critical for determining
proper payment rates in the OPPS. Clinic visits should never be added
together and billed as a single service with a higher level of service.
We plan to continue using the GO modifier as it specifically addresses
coding issues arising in the OPPS.
Comment: One commenter asked us to reconsider our G code
descriptors for clinic and emergency visits.
Response: We will propose and finalize G code descriptors after we
receive recommendations from an independent expert panel.
Comment: Several commenters asked us to develop guidelines based on
a point or acuity system.
Response: The divergence of opinion in the hospital community makes
it imperative that an independent expert panel be convened and that
such a panel should make recommendations to CMS on these issues.
Comment: Several commenters were concerned about disparities
between physician and facility coding for the same service. One
commenter asked that hospitals be allowed to code a different level of
service than the physicians.
Response: We do not believe that facilities and physicians would be
expected to bill similar levels of service for the same encounter. The
resources used by a facility for a visit may be quite different from
the resources used by a physician for the same visit. Facilities should
code a level of service based on facility resource consumption, not
physician resource consumption. This includes situations where patients
may see a physician only briefly, or not at all.
However, if a visit and another service is also billed (that is,
chemotherapy, diagnostic test, surgical procedure) the visit must be
separately identifiable from the other service because the resources
used to provide non-visit services including staff time, equipment,
supplies, and so forth, are captured in the line item for that service.
Billing a visit in addition to another service merely because the
patient interacted with hospital staff or spent time in a room for that
service is inappropriate.
Comment: One commenter asked CMS to clarify proper billing for E/M
services when a visit and another service, such as chemotherapy, have
been provided.
Response: If a visit and another service is also billed (that is,
chemotherapy, diagnostic test, or surgical procedure) the visit must be
separately identifiable from the other
[[Page 66794]]
service. This is because the resources used to provide non-visit
services (including staff time, equipment, supplies and so forth) are
captured in the line item for that particular service. However, billing
a visit in addition to another service--merely because the patient
interacted with hospital staff or spent time in a room for that
service--is inappropriate.
B. Observation Services
Coding and Billing Instructions
On November 30, 2001, we published a final rule updating changes to
the OPPS for 2002. We implemented provisions that allow separate
payment for observation services under certain conditions. That is, a
hospital may bill for a separate APC payment (APC 0339) for observation
services for patients with diagnoses of chest pain, asthma, or
congestive heart failure when certain criteria are met. The criteria
discussed in the November 30, 2001 final rule and as corrected in the
March 1, 2002 final rule are also explained in detail in section XI of
a Program Memorandum to intermediaries issued on March 28, 2002
(Transmittal A-02-026). Payment for HCPCS code G0244, observation care
provided by a facility to a patient with congestive heart failure,
chest pain or asthma, minimum eight hours, maximum 48 hours, was
effective for services furnished on or after April 1, 2002.
Section XI of Transmittal A-02-026 that was issued on March 28,
2002, provides additional billing and coding instructions and
requirements that flow from the basic criteria that we implemented in
the November 30, 2001 and the March 1, 2002 final rules. Although we do
not address them explicitly in the final rules, the additional
instructions and requirements in Transmittal A-02-026 were developed to
implement the basic observation criteria within the programming logic
of the outpatient code editor (OCE), which is used to process claims
submitted by hospitals for payment under the OPPS. For example, in the
November 30, 2001 final rule, we state that an emergency department
visit (APC 0610, 0611, or 0612) or a clinic visit (APC 0600, 0601, or
0602) must be billed in conjunction with each bill for observation
services (66 FR 59879). In section XI of Transmittal A-02-026, we state
that an E/M code (referred to, incorrectly, in Transmittal A-02-026 as
an ``Emergency Management'' code), for the emergency room, clinic
visit, or critical care is required to be billed on the day before or
the day that the patient is admitted to observation. That is, unless
one of the CPT codes assigned to APCs 0600, 0601, 0602, 0610, 0611,
0612, or 0620 is billed on the day before or the day that the patient
is admitted to observation, separate payment for G0244 is not allowed.
The codes assigned to these APCs are categorized by CPT as E/M codes.
Although we did not include APC 0620, Critical Care, among the APCs
that must be billed in order to receive separate payment for
observation services, we added it in the program memorandum because
critical care is an E/M service that can be furnished in a clinic or an
emergency department. Critical care may appropriately precede admission
to observation for chest pain, asthma, or congestive heart failure. We
clarify in Transmittal A-02-026 that both the associated E/M code and
G0244 are paid separately if the observation criteria are met. We also
specify that the E/M code associated with observation must be billed on
the same claim as the observation service.
Similarly, in the November 30, 2001 and the March 1, 2002 final
rules, we require that certain diagnostic tests be performed in order
to bill for separate payment for observation services. In Transmittal
A-02-026, in section XI.B.2, we list the diagnostic tests that the OCE
looks for on a bill for G0244. This list, which amplifies what we
published in the November 30, 2001 and March 1, 2002 final rules, is
incomplete and should read as follows to reflect the current OCE logic
that is applied to claims for G0244:
[sbull] For chest pain, at least two sets of cardiac enzymes
[either two CPK (82550, 82552, or 82553), or two troponin (84484 or
84512)], and two sequential electrocardiograms (93005);
[sbull] For asthma, a peak expiratory flow rate (94010) or pulse
oximetry (94760, 94761, or 94762);
[sbull] For congestive heart failure, a chest x-ray (71010, 71020,
or 71030) and an electrocardiogram (93005) and pulse oximetry (94760,
94761, or 94762).
[sbull] Note: Pulse oximetry codes 94760, 94761, and 94762 are
treated as packaged services under the OPPS. Although no separate
payment is made for packaged codes, hospitals must separately report
the HCPCS code and a charge for pulse oximetry in order to establish
that observation services for congestive heart failure and asthma
diagnoses meet the criteria for separate payment.
Transmittal A-02-026 also provides specific coding instructions
that hospitals must use when billing for observation services that do
not meet the criteria for separate payment under APC 0339. In addition,
Transmittal A-02-026 addresses the use of modifier -25 with the E/M
code billed with G0244.
Comment: A few commenters requested clarification of the
requirement that CPT 94010 (peak flow) be billed to establish a
diagnosis of asthma. The commenter noted that CPT 94010 is the code for
spirometry with recording and that it would be erroneous to bill peak
flow, which is all that is relevant for asthma, as a spirometry, which
requires a record and should include such elements as vital capacity
and flow-volume loops. The commenter is concerned that we are
instructing hospitals to bill incorrectly if our intention is solely to
require peak flow.
Response: We are reviewing this comment and if we determine that a
modification of the current requirement for peak flow is appropriate,
we will revise the requirement in the program memorandum that
implements the 2003 OPPS update effective January 1, 2003.
Comment: One commenter asked whether bedside services other than
infusion, such as CVP placement, arterial punctures, and IV injections,
can be billed when furnished to observation patients or whether these
services are considered to be packaged into the observation payment.
Response: We would not expect that placement of a CVP line would be
billed for a patient in observation. However, in general, any service
that is separately payable under the OPPS, that is, procedures with
status indicators S, X, K, G, V, or H, can be billed with G0244 and
paid separately, although services with status indicator ``T'' (with
the exception of Q0081), as we explain below, are not separately
payable with G0244.
Direct Admissions to Observation
Since implementation of the provision for separate payment for
observation services under APC 0339, a number of hospitals, hospital
associations, and other interested parties have asked if separate
payment for observation services would be allowed for a patient with
chest pain, asthma, or congestive heart failure who is admitted
directly into observation by order of the patient's physician but
without having received critical care or E/M services in a hospital
clinic or the emergency department on the day before or the day of
admission to observation. We have responded during monthly CMS hospital
open forum calls that, consistent with the criteria in the November 30,
2001 final rule, effective for services furnished on or after April
[[Page 66795]]
1, 2002, separate payment for observation services requires that an
admission to observation be made by order of a physician in a hospital
clinic or in a hospital emergency department. If a patient is directly
admitted to observation but without an associated E/M service
(including critical care) shown on the same bill, the hospital should
bill observation services using revenue code 762 alone or revenue code
762 with one of the HCPCS codes for packaged observation services (CPT
codes 99218, 99219, 99220, 99234, 99235, or 99236).
A related question has arisen in connection with a policy
interpretation that was posted as a response to a ``Frequently Asked
Question'' (FAQ) on our Web site on September 12, 2000. The FAQ
follows:
``Q.97: If a patient is admitted from the physician's office to the
observation room, will there be no reimbursement?
``A.97: Since observation is a packaged service, payment cannot be
made if it is the only OPPS service on a claim. However, we believe
that the ``admission'' of a patient to observation involves a low-level
visit billed by the hospital, as well as whatever office visit the
physician who arranged for the admission billed. Thus, when a patient
arrives for observation arranged for by a physician in the community
(that is, ``direct admit to observation''), and is not seen or assessed
by a hospital-based physician, the hospital may bill a low-level visit
code. This low-level visit code will capture the baseline nursing
assessment, the creation of a medical record, the recording and
initiation of telephone orders, and so forth. This visit may be coded
only once during the period of observation. The observation charges
should be shown in revenue code 762. The number of hours the patient
was in observation status should be shown in the units field. Payment
for those services is packaged into the APC for the visit. Other
services performed in connection with observation, such as lab,
radiology, and so forth, should be billed for as well. * * *''
We have been asked to clarify whether or not the low-level visit
code suggested in the FAQ for patients directly admitted for
observation services would satisfy the requirement that a line item for
a hospital emergency visit, hospital clinic visit, or critical care
appear on the same bill as HCPCS code G0244. Our response is that when
we established the final criteria effective for services furnished on
or after April 1, 2002, we did not contemplate that the low-level visit
described in the FAQ would satisfy the requirement for the E/M code
that a hospital must bill to show a hospital clinic visit or hospital
emergency department visit was performed before observation services
for asthma, congestive heart failure, or chest pain to bill and receive
payment for G0244 under APC 0339.
In light of these questions, we have reviewed the criteria for
separate payment for observation services under APC 0339, and we
proposed to modify the criteria and coding for observation services
furnished on or after January 1, 2003. Specifically, we proposed to
create two new codes. These additional codes would allow us to collect
data on the extent to which patients are directly admitted to hospital
observation services without an associated hospital clinic visit or
emergency department visit. The proposed codes were as follows:
G0LLL-Initial nursing assessment of patient directly admitted to
observation with diagnosis of congestive heart failure, chest pain, or
asthma.
G0MMM-Initial nursing assessment of patient directly admitted to
observation with diagnosis other than congestive heart failure, chest
pain, or asthma.
If a hospital directly admits to observation from a physician's
office a patient with a diagnosis of congestive heart failure, asthma,
or chest pain, we proposed to require that G0LLL be billed with G0244.
The current requirement that the hospital bill an emergency department
visit (APC 0600, 0601, or 0602) or a clinic visit (APC 0610, 0611, or
0612) or a critical care service (APC 0620) in order to receive
separate payment for observation services for patients not admitted
directly from a physician's office would remain in effect. However,
because the initial nursing assessment is part of any observation
service, we proposed not to make separate payment for G0LLL. Rather, we
proposed to assign status indicator ``N'' to G0LLL, to designate that
charges submitted with G0LLL would be packaged into the costs
associated with APC 0339. If G0LLL is billed, we would require that the
medical record show that the patient was admitted directly from a
physician's office for purposes of evaluating and treating chest pain,
asthma, or congestive heart failure.
G0MMM describes the initial nursing assessment of a patient
directly admitted to observation with a diagnosis other than chest
pain, asthma, or congestive heart failure. We proposed to assign G0MMM
for payment under APC 0706, New Technology--Level I. We proposed to
require hospitals to bill G0MMM instead of the low level clinic visit
referred to in the FAQ above to describe the initial nursing assessment
of a patient directly admitted to observation with a diagnosis other
than chest pain, asthma, or congestive heart failure. Separate payment
would not be made for observation services billed with G0MMM. Rather,
when billing G0MMM, hospitals would be required to use revenue code 762
alone or revenue code 762 with one of the HCPCS codes for packaged
observation services (99218, 99219, 99220, 99234, 992335, or 99236). We
proposed to create G0MMM to establish a separately payable code into
which costs for observation care for patients directly admitted for
diagnoses other than asthma, chest pain, or congestive heart failure
can be packaged and recognized.
We would use billing data for G0LLL and G0MMM in reviewing the
provisions for payment of observation services in future updates of the
OPPS. In the proposed rule, we invited comment on the extent to which
these codes address the concerns that have been raised in connection
with patients who are directly admitted to observation services.
Comment: Everyone who commented on our proposed refinements of the
requirements to enable separate payment for observation services
supported the proposal to allow separate payment for patients admitted
to observation directly from physicians' offices. However, the majority
of commenters opposed the coding and payment methodology that we
proposed to implement this change.
Commenters stated that having to use G0LLL and G0MMM, combined with
the other requirements that have to be met in order to receive separate
payment for observation of patients with asthma, congestive heart
failure, and chest pain, would be burdensome and confusing, and would
create operational inconsistencies and problems for hospitals. Several
commenters urged CMS to simplify, the observation rules in order to
reduce their complexity and lessen the burden they currently impose on
hospitals. Some commenters were concerned that other payors might not
accept the proposed new codes and that the codes would not be HIPAA
compliant.
A number of commenters recommended alternatives to the
establishment of G0LLL and G0MMM that would utilize information already
being reported by hospitals on the UB-92 within the existing coding
system for revenue centers, diagnoses, and source and type of
admission. One commenter suggested a single G code for ``Intake into
observation after outside evaluation'' supported by appropriate
diagnosis coding and claims edits. One
[[Page 66796]]
commenter recommended instituting a ``per visit'' payment logic in the
OCE and PRICER similar to that used for mental health and PHP services.
Several commenters suggested returning observation to a time-based
charging and coding methodology based on hours. Several commenters
supported using existing E/M codes instead of creating new codes.
Response: We agree with many of the commenters that our proposal
for direct admissions to observation seems administratively burdensome.
However, we believe that the importance of creating a payment mechanism
for direct admissions to observation outweighs the administrative
burden at this time. We also believe it is vital that we be able to
track the utilization of these services so we will have data upon which
to base policy decisions in the future.
A number of the alternatives suggested by commenters are promising
and merit further analysis and review. However, our preliminary
inquiries revealed that most of the suggested alternatives would
require systems changes that could take six months or longer to develop
and install, and that such changes could not be implemented effective
January 1, 2003. Therefore, we have decided to implement the proposed G
codes as follows:
G0263, Direct admission of patient with diagnosis of congestive
heart failure, chest pain or asthma for observation.
G0264, Initial nursing assessment of patient directly admitted to
observation with diagnosis other than congestive heart failure, chest
pain, or asthma.
These codes would be HIPPA compliant. Other payers would make their
own decisions about whether to use these codes for their own payment
purposes.
Comment: One commenter asked that we instruct Fiscal Intermediaries
to accept another revenue code in the 76X range for G0263 and G0264
because RC 762 may only be used to report observation charges.
Response: We are reviewing with our coding and claims processing
experts to determine if there is a more appropriate revenue code to use
when billing G0263 and G0264. We will provide specific instructions in
the program memorandum issued to implement the January 2003 OPPS
update.
Comment: Cancer centers urged CMS to expand the conditions for
which we would make separate payment for observation to include febrile
neutropenia, electrolyte disorders, chemotherapy hypersensitivity
reaction, pulmonary embolisms, acute GI hemorrhage, and seizures
presented by cancer patients under treatment at Cancer Centers. Other
commenters suggested psychiatric conditions, acute abdominal pain,
post-transplant threat of rejection, and pneumonia as appropriate for
separate payment for observation.
Response: As we indicate in the November 30, 2001 final rule, we
will review the indications for separately payable observation after we
have acquired sufficient experience under the current system to make an
informed decision as to whether an expansion is appropriate.
Comment: Most commenters asserted that our proposed payment for
G0MMM for initial nursing assessment of a patient directly admitted to
observation with a diagnosis other than chest pain, asthma, or
congestive heart failure (APC 706) is too low and does not recognize
the substantial type, level, and quality of the initial nursing
services being provided. Commenters urged CMS either to set a higher
payment rate for G0MMM or to allow an E/M code to be billed with G0MMM.
Another commenter suggested assigning G0MMM to APC 0600 to be
consistent with what CMS says in the FAQ 97. One commenter noted that
it is inappropriate to assign G0MMM to a new technology APC because the
code describes an E/M service, not a new technology service.
Response: We agree. We have therefore assigned G0264 for payment in
APC 600, Low Level Clinic Visits.
Comment: One commenter wanted to know if G0LLL and G0MMM could be
used for patients admitted from their homes, either (1) based solely
upon a telephone call from the patient to the community physician and
that physician's call to the hospital to order a direct admission for
observation management, or (2) when directly admitted by the physician
after going home following a visit to the physician's office, the
patient's condition having deteriorated after seeing the physician.
Response: As long as the physician notifies the hospital that he/
she is ordering the direct admission of the patient for observation and
supports that order with the appropriate suspected diagnosis, we
believe this would constitute a direct admission. Either G0263 or G0264
would be billed, depending on the final diagnosis supporting the direct
admission observation services.
C. Billing Intravenous Infusions With Observation
Based on questions and concerns raised by hospitals since
implementation of payment for APC 0339 effective April 1, 2002, we have
also reviewed the current status of billing intravenous infusions with
observation. Several hospitals have noted that claims for G0244 when
billed with intravenous infusion services reported with HCPCS code
Q0081 are denied because of the ``T'' status indicator assigned to
HCPCS code Q0081. Our current payment rules for G0244 require that
G0244 be denied if a service with status indicator ``T'' is performed
the day before, the day of, or the day after observation care. Because
patients in observation may require intravenous infusions of fluid, we
proposed to create code G0EEE, Intravenous infusion during separately
payable observation stay, per observation, payable under APC 0340 with
status indicator ``X.'' When observation services that otherwise meet
the billing requirements for separate payment under APC 0339 include an
intravenous infusion administered as part of the observation care,
G0EEE would be used to report the infusion service. We included
instructions on the use of G0258 in the program memorandum issued to
implement OPPS coding changes for the October 1, 2002 OCE. In the
proposed rule, we solicited comment on the use of this code.
Comment: While appreciative of our recognizing the need for a
mechanism that permits hospitals to bill for infusion therapy during
observation, most commenters did not support our proposal to introduce
a new code for the service. One commenter recommended terminating G0258
effective 12/31/02 because it creates operational burdens for the
hospital and does not accurately reflect the resources used. Several
commenters urged CMS to change the SI for APC 120 to which Q0081 is
assigned to S. This would solve the problem and permit payment of Q0081
with G0244 and would also align the status indicators for the infusion
of non-chemotherapy drugs with the infusion of chemotherapy drugs.
Commenters asked if CMS intends hospital to use G0258 instead of
Q0081 when the infusion therapy is provided to the patient in the
emergency department or clinic prior to patient's placement in
observation when the observation stay ultimately qualifies for separate
payment. The commenters pointed out that the hospital may not know when
the patient is in the emergency department or clinic and the infusion
therapy is initiated that the patient will subsequently be placed in an
observation stay that qualifies for payment under G0244. Commenters
[[Page 66797]]
asked CMS to clarify how G0258 is to be used.
One commenter recommended, that we install an OCE edit to ignore
Q0081 when checking for the presence of a procedure with SI=T.
Many commenters stated that the payment for G0248 should be the
same as the payment for Q0081 because the resources expended for
infusion therapy performed during a packaged observation stay are the
same as those required for Q0081 furnished. These commenters disagreed
with CMS's assertion that payment for G0258 should be discounted to
equal 50 percent of the payment for Q0081 because Q0081 is invariably
billed with a higher-paying procedure and is, therefore, discounted.
Another commenter advocated adjusting the payment for G0244 to include
the cost of infusion and eliminating a separate new code. The same
commenter supported payment at 50 percent of the rate set for Q0081
because Q0081 would always be discounted because it is always billed
with another procedure.
Response: Having reviewed the numerous concerns raised by
commenters in connection with the use of HCPCS code G0258, Intravenous
infusion during separately payable observation stay, per observation
stay (must be reported with G0244), and our proposed payment for G0258,
we agree with commenters that requiring the use of this code is
problematic. We have determined that the OCE logic can be modified to
allow payment for G0244, even though Q0081 is assigned to an APC with
status indicator T. Therefore, effective for services furnished on or
after January 1, 2003, we are withdrawing G0258. Instead hospitals may
submit claims for G0244 with Q0081 when infusion therapy is provided,
and the claim will be paid if all other requirements and conditions are
met. The status indicator for G0081 will not change.
Annual Update of ICD-9 Diagnosis Codes
To receive payment for G0244, we require hospitals to bill
specified ICD-9-CM diagnosis code(s). Because ICD-9-CM codes are
updated effective October 1 of each year, we proposed to issue by
Program Memorandum any changes in the diagnosis codes required for
payment of G0244 resulting from the ICD-9-CM annual update.
In the March 1, 2002 final rule (67 FR 9559) and in Transmittal A-
02-026 issued on March 28, 2002, we listed the diagnosis codes required
in order for separate payment of observation services under APC 0339 to
be made for patients with congestive heart failure. We added by program
memorandum the following new ICD-9-CM codes to the list of allowed
diagnosis codes for separate payment for observation of patients with
congestive heart failure, effective for services furnished on or after
October 1, 2002:
428.20 Unspecified systolic heart failure
428.21 Acute systolic heart failure
428.22 Chronic systolic heart failure
428.23 Acute on chronic systolic heart failure
428.30 Unspecified diastolic heart failure
428.31 Acute diastolic heart failure
428.32 Chronic diastolic heart failure
428.33 Acute on chronic diastolic heart failure
428.40 Unspecified combined systolic and diastolic heart failure
428.41 Acute combined systolic and diastolic heart failure
428.42 Chronic combined systolic and diastolic heart failure
428.43 Acute on chronic combined systolic and diastolic heart failure
In the August 9, 2002 proposed rule, we invited comment on the
addition of these diagnosis codes to the criteria for separate payment
for observation services under APC 0339.
Comment: One commenter recommended adding the following codes to
the list of diagnoses for asthma: 493.00, 493.10, 493.20, and 493.90
Response: We are not including these diagnoses because they would
not be appropriate for use with patients requiring observation services
because they are experiencing acute exacerbations of asthma.
[sbull] Effective for services furnished on or after January 1,
2003, hospitals may bill for patients directly admitted for observation
services using the following codes:
G0263, Direct admission of patient with diagnosis of congestive
heart failure, chest pain or asthma for observation.
G0264, Initial nursing assessment of patient directly admitted to
observation with diagnosis other than congestive heart failure, chest
pain, or asthma.
[sbull] Payment for G0264 will be made under APC 600.
[sbull] Payment for G0263 will be packaged into the payment for APC
339
[sbull] Payment for G0244 will be allowed when billed with Q0081,
Infusion therapy other than chemotherapy, when furnished to patients
with asthma, congestive heart failure, or chest pain, subject to all
other conditions for payment having been met.
C. Payment Policy When a Surgical Procedure on the Inpatient List Is
Performed on an Emergency Basis
As we state in section II.B.5 of this preamble, the inpatient list
specifies those services that are only paid when provided in an
inpatient setting. The inpatient list proposed for 2003 is printed as
Addendum E. In Addendum B, status indicator C designates a HCPCS code
that is on the inpatient list.
Over the past year, some hospitals and hospital associations have
asked how a hospital could receive Medicare payment for a procedure on
the inpatient list that had to be performed to resuscitate or stabilize
a patient with an emergent, life-threatening condition who was
transferred or died before being admitted as an inpatient. We reviewed
within the context of our current policy the cases brought to our
attention for which payment under the OPPS was denied because a
procedure with status indicator C was on the bill. Based on that
review, we proposed to clarify our policy regarding Medicare payment
when a procedure with status indicator C is performed under certain
life-threatening, emergent conditions. In the proposed rule, we
solicited comments on the extent to which the payment policy described
below addresses hospitals' concerns. We stated it would be most helpful
if commenters provided specific examples of cases when hospitals have,
in these instances, submitted bills for a procedure with OPPS status
indicator C that were not paid.
1. Current Policy
In the April 7, 2000 final rule (65 FR 18451), in response to
comments about the appropriate level of payment for patients who die in
the emergency department, we set forth the following guidelines for
fiscal intermediaries to use in determining how to make payment when a
patient dies in the emergency department or is sent directly to surgery
and dies there.
[sbull] If the patient dies in the emergency department, make
payment under the outpatient PPS for services furnished.
[sbull] If the emergency department or other physician orders the
patient to the operating room for a surgical procedure, and the patient
dies in surgery, payment will be made based on the status of the
patient. If the patient had been admitted as an inpatient, pay under
the hospital inpatient PPS (a DRG-based payment).
[sbull] If the patient was not admitted as an inpatient, pay under
the outpatient PPS (an APC-based payment).
[sbull] If the patient was not admitted as an inpatient and the
procedure is
[[Page 66798]]
designated as an inpatient-only procedure (payment status indicator C),
no Medicare payment will be made for the procedure, but payment will be
made for emergency department services.
The OPPS outpatient code editor (OCE) currently has an edit in
place that generates a ``line item denial'' for a line on a claim that
has a status indicator C. A line item denial means that the claim can
be processed for payment but with some line items denied for payment. A
line item denial can be appealed under the provisions of section 1869
of the Act. The OCE includes another edit that denies all other line
items furnished on the same day as a line item with a status indicator
C. The rationale for this edit is that all line items for services
furnished on the same date as the procedure with status indicator C
would be considered inpatient services and paid under the appropriate
DRG.
As part of the definition of line item denial in the program
memorandum that we issue quarterly to update the OCE specifications
(for example, see Program Memorandum/Intermediaries, Transmittal A-02-
052, June 18, 2002, which is available on our Web site at http://cms.hhs.gov/manuals/pm_trans/A02052.pdf), we state that a line item
denial cannot be resubmitted except for an emergency room visit in
which a patient dies during a procedure that is categorized as an
inpatient procedure: ``Under such circumstances, the claim can be
resubmitted as an inpatient claim.''
In Addendum D of the March 1, 2002 final rule, we designate payment
status indicator ``C'' as follows: ``Admit patient; bill as
inpatient.''
2. Hospital Concerns
Hospitals have requested clarification regarding billing and
payment in certain situations that our current policy does not seem to
explicitly address. The following scenarios synthesize cases described
by hospitals for which they have encountered problems when billing for
a procedure with status indicator C.
Scenario A: A procedure assigned status indicator C under the OPPS
is performed to resuscitate or stabilize a beneficiary who appears with
or suddenly develops a life-threatening condition. The patient dies
during surgery or postoperatively before being admitted.
Scenario B: An elective or emergent surgical procedure payable
under the OPPS is being performed. Because of sudden, unexpected intra-
operative complications, the physician must alter the surgical
procedure and perform a procedure with OPPS status indicator C. The
patient dies during the operation before he or she is admitted as an
inpatient.
Scenario C: A procedure with status indicator C is performed to
resuscitate or stabilize a beneficiary who appears with or suddenly
develops a life-threatening condition. After the procedure, the patient
is transferred to another facility for postoperative care.
3. Clarification of Payment Policy
We proposed the following policy for fiscal intermediaries and
providers to use in determining the appropriate Medicare payment in
cases such as those described in the section above.
A procedure assigned status indicator C under the OPPS is never
payable under the OPPS. Therefore, for a hospital to receive payment
when a procedure with OPPS status indicator C is performed and: (1) The
patient dies during or after the procedure, before being admitted, or
(2) the patient survives the procedure and is transferred following the
procedure, the patient's medical record must contain all of the
following information:
[sbull] Either orders to admit written by the physician responsible
for the patient's care at the hospital to which the patient was to be
admitted following the procedure for the purpose of receiving inpatient
hospital services and occupying an inpatient bed, or written orders to
admit and transfer the patient to another hospital following the
procedure.
[sbull] Documentation that the reported HCPCS code for the surgical
procedure with OPPS payment status indicator C (such as CPT code 61345)
was actually performed.
[sbull] Documentation that the reported surgical procedure with
status indicator C was medically necessary.
[sbull] If the patient is admitted and subsequently transferred to
another facility, documentation that the transfer was medically
necessary, such as the patient requiring postoperative treatment
unavailable at the transferring facility.
In the case of a patient who dies during performance of a procedure
with OPPS status indicator C before being admitted, the hospital would
submit a claim for all services provided, including a line item for the
status indicator C procedure. The claim would be rejected for payment
under the OPPS and returned to the hospital. The hospital would
resubmit the claim for payment as an inpatient stay under the
appropriate DRG.
In the case of a patient who is admitted and transferred, the
transferring hospital would be paid a per diem DRG rate if all the
above conditions are met. (We proposed to revise Sec. 3610.5 of the
Medicare Intermediary Manual accordingly.) Because these services would
be paid according to the appropriate DRG or per diem (see below), all
services that were furnished before admission that would otherwise be
payable under the OPPS would be paid in accordance with the provisions
of Sec. 3610.3 of the Medicare Intermediary Manual (``3-day rule'')
and Sec. 415.6 of the Medicare Hospital Manual.
Note that a physician's order to admit a patient to an observation
bed following a procedure designated with OPPS status indicator C would
not constitute an inpatient admission and, therefore, would not qualify
the procedure with status indicator C for payment. In this instance,
the only allowable Medicare payment would be for a code payable under
APC 0610, 0611, or 0612 if those services were provided. Payment would
not be allowed for either the procedure with status indicator C or for
any ancillary services furnished on the same date.
Comment: Commenters agreed that the current policy on billing and
payment when procedures on the inpatient list are performed on an
outpatient basis requires clarification and modification. However,
commenters stated that our proposals, if implemented, would be
burdensome and create extra work for hospitals. Commenters opposed our
proposal that an outpatient claim be submitted for rejection and then
resubmitted as an inpatient claim. Commenters asserted that this would
be unwieldy and create an unacceptable delay in payment. Many
commenters were concerned that it would be difficult to expect a
physician to write an order to admit a patient who expired during
emergency surgery, and that asking physicians to do so to satisfy a
billing requirement would not be appropriate. Some commenters were
concerned that submitting an inpatient claim that is inconsistent with
medical records documentation could create problems with medical
review. However, commenters did not provide illustrations of actual
cases when hospitals have submitted outpatient bills for a procedure
with status indicator C that was performed in an emergency situation
and not paid which would have added specificity to the general
comments.
Commenters offered several alternatives to our proposal. Several
commenters suggested that these cases be initially billed as inpatient
stays,
[[Page 66799]]
supported by documentation that the procedure was performed and was
medically necessary, and that a presumption of admission be made for
payment purposes. Several commenters suggested that a reduced DRG-
related amount be established as payment in these special cases.
Several commenters suggested the use of a condition code that would
allow submission of an outpatient claim when procedures on the
inpatient list are performed in emergency situations.
Response: We appreciate commenters' reactions and suggestions of
ways to make payment under the OPPS in emergency situations when
procedures on the inpatient list are performed on a beneficiary who is
not admitted as an inpatient. After careful review and consideration of
the comments and recommendations, we have decided to modify certain
aspects of our proposed policy, while retaining certain others. We are
also taking steps to ensure that OCE edits are consistent with our
policy.
The underlying principle is our policy that procedures on the
inpatient list performed on patients whose status is that of outpatient
are not payable as outpatient services.
However, we recognize that there are occasions when a procedure on
the inpatient list must be performed to resuscitate or stabilize a
patient with an emergent, life-threatening condition whose status is
that of an outpatient. To receive payment in those cases, hospitals
admit the patient and submit an inpatient claim.
In cases where a procedure on the inpatient list must be performed
to resuscitate or stabilize a patient with an emergent, life-
threatening condition whose status is that of an outpatient, the
patient may be admitted and transferred to another hospital. In these
cases, the transferring hospital is paid a per diem DRG rate. We shall
revise section 3610.5 of the Medicare Intermediary Manual to reflect
this policy.
On rare occasions, a procedure on the inpatient list must be
performed to resuscitate or stabilize a patient with an emergent, life-
threatening condition whose status is that of an outpatient and the
patient dies before being admitted as an inpatient. For those rare and
unusual cases, we are instructing hospitals to submit an outpatient
claim for all services furnished, including the procedure code with
status indicator C to which a new modifier is attached. The exact
modifier that is to be used in these cases had not been issued by the
HCPCS alpha-numeric workgroup in time for publication in this final
rule. The modifier and instructions for its use will be included in the
program memorandum for the January 2003 update. We believe that such
patients would typically receive services such as those provided during
a high-level emergency visit, appropriate diagnostic testing (X-ray, CT
scan, EKG, and so forth), and administration of intravenous fluids and
medication prior to the surgical procedure. Because these combined
services constitute an episode of care, we will pay claims with a
procedure code on the inpatient list that are billed with the new
modifier under new technology APC 977. Separate payment will not be
allowed for other services furnished on the same date. This approach
allows hospitals to submit an outpatient claim and receive payment
without additional paperwork, it results in consistency between the
medical record and patient status, and it allows us to collect data on
the costs associated with these very unusual and infrequent cases for
future use in updating the OPPS.
Procedures with status indicator C but without the new modifier
that are submitted on an outpatient bill will receive a line item
denial, and no other services furnished on the same date are payable.
If an outpatient has a procedure that is on the inpatient list
performed, and is subsequently admitted to an observation bed, the
procedure with status indicator C submitted on an outpatient bill will
receive a line item denial. Further, we have decided not to make final
our proposal to make payment for APC 610, 611 or 612 under such
circumstances. Rather, in such cases no other services furnished on the
same date are payable.
We did not receive any comments on the documentation that we
proposed to require in the patient's medical record when a procedure
with status indicator C is performed and: (1) The patient dies before
being admitted as an inpatient, or (2) the patient survives the
procedure and is admitted and transferred. Therefore, we are making
those requirements final.
4. Orders To Admit
Some hospitals have raised questions about the timing of a
physician's order to admit a patient. The requirements for
authenticating physician orders and the standards for medical record
keeping fall outside the scope of this rule and OPPS payment policy.
The payment provisions that we are making final in this rule are to
assist hospitals and contractors in determining how to bill and pay for
services appropriately under Medicare. The patient's admission status,
as documented by the medical records, determines what Medicare payment
is appropriate. Medical record keeping and documentation requirements
are addressed in the Medicare hospital conditions of participation at
Sec. 482.24, and are governed by applicable State law and State
licensing rules and hospital accreditation standards.
Comment: A few commenters requested clarification on what is meant
by ``admit'' and the documentation that CMS would expect to see in
order to substantiate that a patient was admitted as an inpatient. One
commenter expressed concern about the variability in fiscal
intermediaries' policies regarding the changing of an admission status
after the service has been provided.
Response: As we have indicated, these issues are addressed in the
Medicare hospital conditions of participation at Sec. 482.24, and are
governed by applicable State licensing rules and hospital accreditation
standards. Questions and concerns related to these issues should be
addressed to the parties who are responsible for these rules,
regulations, and standards.
When a procedure on the inpatient list must be performed to
resuscitate or stabilize a patient with an emergent, life-threatening
condition whose status is that of an outpatient and the patient dies
before being admitted as an inpatient, the hospital should submit an
outpatient claim for all services furnished, including the procedure
with status indicator C to which a new modifier, which will be
announced by program memorandum is attached. Claims with a procedure
code on the inpatient list that are billed with the new modifier will
be paid under APC 977.
We are making final the requirement that information specified in
the proposed rule be included in the medical record to support payment
when a procedure with status indicator C is performed on an outpatient
and the patient dies or is admitted and transferred.
D. Status Indicators
The status indicators we assign to HCPCS codes and APCs under the
OPPS have an important role in payment for services under the OPPS
because they indicate if a service represented by a HCPCS code is
payable under the OPPS or another payment system and also if particular
OPPS policies apply to the code. We are providing our status indicator
assignments for APCs in Addendum A, HCPCS codes in
[[Page 66800]]
Addendum B, and definitions of the status indicators in Addendum D.
The OPPS is based on HCPCS codes for medical and other health
services. These codes are used for a wide variety of payment systems
under Medicare, including, but not limited to, the Medicare fee
schedule for physician services, the Medicare fee schedule for durable
medical equipment and prosthetic devices, and the Medicare clinical
laboratory fee schedule. For purposes of making payment under the OPPS,
we need a way to signal the claims processing system which HCPCS codes
are paid under the OPPS and those codes to which particular OPPS
payment policies apply. We accomplish this identification in the OPPS
through the establishment of a system of status indicators with
specific meanings. Addendum D defines the meaning of each status
indicator for purposes of the OPPS.
We assign one and only one status indicator to each APC and to each
HCPCS code. Each HCPCS code that is assigned to an APC has the same
status indicator as the APC to which it is assigned.
Specifically, in 2003, we proposed to use the status indicators in
the following manner:
[sbull] ``A'' to indicate services that are paid under some payment
method other than OPPS, such as the durable medical equipment,
prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS) fee schedule or the
physician fee schedule. Some but not all--of these other payment
systems are identified in Addendum D.
[sbull] ``C'' to indicate inpatient services that are not payable
under the OPPS.
[sbull] ``D'' to indicate a code that was deleted effective with
the beginning of the calendar year.
[sbull] ``E'' to indicate services for which payment is not allowed
under the OPPS or that are not covered by Medicare.
[sbull] ``F'' to indicate acquisition of corneal tissue, which is
paid at reasonable cost.
[sbull] ``G'' to indicate drugs and biologicals that are paid under
OPPS transitional pass-through rules.
[sbull] ``H'' to indicate devices that are paid under OPPS
transitional pass-through rules.
[sbull] ``K'' to indicate drugs and biologicals (including blood
and blood products) and certain brachytherapy seeds that are paid in
separate APCs under the OPPS, but that are not paid under OPPS
transitional pass-through rules.
[sbull] ``N'' to indicate services that are paid under the OPPS for
which payment is packaged into another service or APC group.
[sbull] ``P'' to indicate services that are paid under the OPPS but
only in partial hospitalization programs.
[sbull] ``S'' to indicate significant procedures that are paid
under OPPS but to which the multiple procedure reduction does not
apply.
[sbull] ``T'' to indicate significant services that are paid under
the OPPS and to which the multiple procedure payment discount under
OPPS applies.
[sbull] ``V'' to indicate medical visits (including clinic or
emergency department visits) that are paid under the OPPS.
[sbull] ``X'' to indicate ancillary services that are paid under
the OPPS.
The software that controls Medicare payment looks to the status
indicators attached to the HCPCS codes and APCs for direction in the
processing of the claim. Therefore, the assignment of the status
indicators has significance for the payment of services. We sometimes
change these indicators in the course of a year through program
memoranda. Moreover, indicators are established for new codes that we
establish in the middle of the year, either as a result of a national
coverage decision or otherwise. A status indicator, as well as an APC,
must be assigned so that payment can be made for the service identified
by the new code.
Our proposed status indicators identified for each HCPCS code and
each APC appear in Addenda A and B of the proposed rule. We requested
comments on the appropriateness of the indicators we have assigned.
We received several comments on this proposal, which are summarized
below:
Comment: Some commenters said that our proposed payment for
influenza and pneumococceal pneumonia vaccines and orphan drugs were
inadequate to ensure the provision of these drugs and biologicals.
Response: As discussed in section III.B, we will pay reasonable
cost for these drugs and biologicals in 2003. Therefore, we have
assigned orphan drugs a status indicator of F and have redefined the
status indicator F to mean that the item or service is paid on a
reasonable cost basis. Until now, only corneal tissue acquisition has
been paid as reasonable cost under OPPS and, therefore, the status
indicator was specific to corneal tissue. However, beginning January 1,
2003, the ``F'' status indicator will apply to any item or service paid
at reasonable cost.
With regard to influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine, which
we will also pay on a reasonable cost basis, effective January 1, 2003,
we have created a new status indicator ``L'' ``Influenza vaccine;
pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine'' to indicate that these vaccines are
paid on a reasonable cost basis but deductible and coinsurance do not
apply to the payment. We show the new status indicator in Addendum D
and we show it for these services in Addendum B. We are doing the
following:
[sbull] Redefining status F to indicate an item or service that is
paid on a reasonable-cost basis.
[sbull] Changing the status indicator for influenza and
pneumococceal pneumonia vaccines to status indicator L and change
orphan drugs to status indicator F.
[sbull] Changing the status indicator for APC 225 to S.
E. Other Policy Issues Relating to Pass-Through Device Categories
1. Reducing Transitional Pass-Through Payments To Offset Costs Packaged
Into APC Groups
In the November 30, 2001 final rule, we explained the methodology
we used to estimate the portion of each APC rate that could reasonably
be attributed to the cost of associated devices that are eligible for
pass-through payments (66 FR 59904). Effective with implementation of
the 2002 OPPS update on April 1, 2002, we deduct from the pass-through
payments for those devices an amount that offsets the portion of the
otherwise applicable APC payment amount that we determined is
associated with the device, as required by section 1833(t)(6)(D)(ii) of
the Act. In the March 1, 2002 final rule, we published the applicable
offset amounts for 2002, which we had recalculated to reflect certain
device cost assignments that were corrected in the same final rule (67
FR 9557).
For the 2003 OPPS update, we proposed to estimate the portion of
each APC rate that could reasonably be attributed to the cost of an
associated pass-through device that is eligible for pass-through
payment using claims data for services furnished between July 1, 2001,
through December 31, 2001. We proposed to use only the last 6 months of
2001 claims data because bills for pass-through devices submitted
during this time period would use only device category codes, allowing
a more consistent analysis than would result were we to include pre-
July 1 claims that might still show item-specific codes for pass-
through devices. Using these claims, we would calculate a median cost
for every APC without packaging the costs of associated C-codes for
device categories that were billed with the APC. We would then
calculate a median cost for every APC with the
[[Page 66801]]
costs of associated C-codes for device categories that were billed with
the APC packaged into the median. Dividing the median APC cost minus
device packaging by the median APC cost including device packaging
would allow us to determine the percentage of the median APC cost that
is attributable to associated pass-through devices. By applying these
percentages to the APC payment amount, we would determine the
applicable offset amount. Table 11 shows the offsets that we applied in
2003 to each APC that contains device costs. APCs were included for
offsets if their device costs comprised at least 1 percent of the APC's
costs. (However, if any APC's calculated offset had been less than 1
dollar, that APC and offset would not have been included.)
For this final rule, we used the device data for the 12 months
ended March 31, 2002 to calculate the device and non-device portions of
APCs median costs. We began with the same APCs that were listed on
Table 9 of our proposed rule, with two additions. We added APCs 0648
and 0651, because they showed appreciable device percentages using our
methodology. We again applied these percentages to the APC payment
amounts and excluded any APC's percentage of device costs less than one
percent and calculated offset amounts less than one dollar.
We received some comments on this proposal, which are summarized
below:
Comment. A commenting party contended that our list of device
offsets in our proposed rule is incorrect since it includes many
computed offsets to APC payments for devices that will no longer
receive pass-through payments. The commenter recommended that we
exclude the offsets of all devices in categories that are bundled,
since there is no separate pass-through payment to be offset.
Response. The offset list is a list of potential offsets. We, of
course, do not know in advance which procedures and APCs will be mapped
into new categories as the new categories are created and become
effective. Yet, we are required to subtract the amount of similar
devices in pass-through payment under section 1833(t)(6)(D)(ii) of the
Act. Therefore, for the proposed rule, we calculate the device costs in
each APC and include APCs on the offset list if their device costs were
at least 1 percent of the APC's cost. We use a similar list for this
final rule.
Comment. One commenter expressed concern about the difference in
offset amounts proposed for APC 0107, Insertion of Cardioverter-
Defibrilator, and APC 0108, Insertion/Replacement/Repair of
Cardioverter-Defibrilator Leads. The commenter wondered why, when the
cost of the cardioverter-defibrilator is 2 to 3 times the cost of the
leads, the offset amount for APC 0107 is less than the offset amount
for APC 0108.
Response. The commenter is incorrect that we proposed an offset
amount for 0107 (83.18 percent) that is less than for 0108 (82.18
percent). Moreover, the commenter mistakenly believes that APC 0107 is
for insertion/replacement/repair of cardioverter-defibrilator leads
when, in fact, the definition of CPT code 33249 (the only CPT code in
APC 0108) is ``Insertion or repositioning of electroleads for single or
dual chamber pacing cardioverter-defibrilator and insertion of pulse
generator.'' Hence, CPT code 33249 is for the insertion of a pulse
generator and insertion or repositioning of leads. It is not, as the
commenter indicates, for insertion or repositioning of leads alone. As
shown in Table 11, the offset percent for APC 0107 is 93.29 and the
offset percent for APC 0108 is 92.99.
Comment. A commenting party contended that the offsets appear to be
computed using departmental cost-to-charge ratios (CCRs), yet pass-
through payments for devices were computed using an overall hospital
CCR. The party contended that in cases in which the hospital CCR is
higher than the departmental CCR, there is effectively a zero pass-
through payment for devices. Therefore, the party recommended that the
offsets should be calculated using the same CCRs used to compute pass-
through payments.
Response: Although the commenter states that calculating a device
pass-through payment using a hospital CCR that is higher than the
departmental CCR used to determine the applicable offset amount results
in effectively no payment for a device, it appears to us that the
opposite result would occur. That is, in the situation described, a
lower offset amount would be applied to a higher calculated device
cost, resulting in a higher net device payment. Offset amounts
represent device costs that are included in the median costs of a
procedure. The median cost of the procedure is determined, as we
determine median costs for all services, by totaling all the
procedure's component costs calculated using department-specific CCRs.
We use department-specific CCRs to calculate the cost of the procedure,
which includes devices, and because offsets are intended to represent
the cost of devices that are included in the cost of the procedure, we
believe the same departmental-CCR method must be applied in calculating
offsets.

2. Devices Paid With Multiple Procedures
As explained above, under section 1833(t)(6)(D)(ii) of the Act, the
amount of additional payment for a device eligible for pass-through
payment is the amount by which the hospital's cost exceeds the portion
of the otherwise applicable APC payment amount that the Secretary
determines is associated with the device. Thus, for devices eligible
for pass-through payment, we reduce the pass-through payment amount by
the cost attributable to the device that is already packaged into the
APC payment for an associated procedure. For 2002, we developed offset
amounts for 59 APCs (March 1, 2002 final rule, 67 FR 9556 through 9557,
Table 1).
In our November 30, 2001 final rule (66 FR 59856), we articulated a
policy regarding the calculation of the offsets for device costs
already reflected in APCs in cases where the payment for the associated
APC is reduced due to the multiple procedure discount. The policy was
in response to several commenting parties that recommended that we
apply the multiple procedure discount only to the non-device-related
portion of the APC payment amount (66 FR 59906).
We agreed with the commenters that the full pass-through offset
should not be applied when the APC payment is subject to the multiple
procedure discount of 50 percent.
The purpose of the offset is to ensure that the OPPS is not making
double payments for any portion of the cost associated with the use of
the pass-through item. We stated in the November 30, 2001 rule that the
offset should reflect that portion of the cost for the pass-through
device actually reflected in the payment that is received for the
associated APC. We consequently ruled that the most straightforward
methodology for applying this principle is to reduce the amount of the
offset amount by 50 percent whenever the multiple procedure discount
applies to the associated APC. This discounting of the offset is
applied in 2002 to bills subject to multiple procedure discounting that
also include devices eligible for pass-through payment.
The significant number of device categories that are expiring in
2003 combined with our proposal to package 100 percent of device costs
into their associated APCs has prompted us to revisit the current
policy of reducing offsets for pass-through devices in instances when
multiple procedure discounts are applied to procedures
[[Page 66803]]
associated with pass-through device categories. In order to determine
the impact of multiple procedure discounting on APCs with full
packaging of device costs, we reviewed the median costs of all APCs
after incorporation of device costs and arrayed them in order of
descending median cost. We also determined the contribution (in
absolute dollars and as a percentage) of device costs to the median
costs of each APC.
We then determined which APCs containing devices would be billed
together. We next determined, based on median cost data, which device
containing APCs would be subject to the 50 percent multiple procedure
reduction. After identifying these APCs, we applied a 50 percent
reduction to arrive at a discounted payment amount. We then reviewed
the contribution of device costs to the discounted APC both as a
percentage and in absolute dollars to determine if applying the 50
percent reduction would result in underpayment for the service. We
determined that the reduced payment was adequate to pay both for the
devices incorporated into the APC and for the procedure cost in the
context of performing multiple procedures. We obtained the same results
even when we overstated device costs in our model by 5 or 10 percent to
offset concerns expressed by some manufacturers and physicians that
hospital charges for transitional pass-through devices may be
understated.
We noted that almost all APCs with high device costs (such as
insertion of pacemakers, insertion of cardioverter-defibrillators,
insertion of infusion pumps and neurostimulator electrodes) would never
be subject to a multiple procedure discount. They have the highest
relative weights in the OPPS, and we would not expect these procedures
to be performed during the same operative session with a higher paying
procedure with status indicator ``T.'' Therefore, we proposed to
continue our current policy of multiple procedure discounting. That is,
when two or more APCS with status indicator ``T'' are billed together
we proposed to pay 100 percent for the highest cost APC and 50 percent
for all other APCs with status indicator ``T.'' We proposed not to
adjust these payments to account for device costs in the APCs.
We received a large number of comments on this proposal, which are
summarized below:
Comment: Many commenters asked that the status indicator be changed
from ``T'' to ``S'' for APCs for which a large amount of the cost of
the APC is cost for a device that is packaged into the APC. They said
that it is not appropriate to apply the multiple procedure discount
that is applied to services with status indicator ``T'' to APCs for
which the cost of a device is the majority of the cost of the APC
because there is no efficiency in the provision of multiple devices.
They said that the multiple procedure discount should only apply to the
nondevice portion of the APC payment.
Response: We reviewed the data for combinations of APCs billed on
the same claim and determined that it would not be typical for an APC,
which is predominantly device cost, to be the second or subsequent APC
on the same claim. Hence, it would not be typical that the
predominantly device APC would be reduced (because a predominantly
device APC would generally be the highest cost APC on the claim).
In the case of APC 225, however, we did change the status indicator
to ``S'' because we were convinced that it must be performed when APC
222 also performed and that, therefore, a status indicator of ``T''
would not result in appropriate payment for 225.
Comment: A number of commenters took issue with our claim that
almost all APCs with high device costs (such as insertion of
pacemakers, insertion of cardioverter-defibrillators, insertion of
infusion pumps, and neurostimulator electrodes) would never be subject
to a multiple procedure discount. They asserted that some high cost
APCs do incur multiple procedure discounting. The example most provided
is the implantation of a neurostimulator (APC 0222) with
neurostimulator electrodes or leads (APC 0225). They said that the
multiple procedure discount along with proposed payment cuts to these
APCs even more significantly impact the payment of these services and
warrant extensive review, analysis, and consideration of outside data.
They also recommended that we change the status indicators for these
procedures to ``S'' (significant procedure), which are not reduced when
performed as a multiple procedure in the same session. Other examples
cited were: bilateral neurostimulator implants for patients with
Parkinson's disease (APC 0222) and implantation of a spinal infusion
pump, which involves implantation of a catheter (APC 0223) and infusion
pump (APC 0227) and dual implantation of an artificial urinary
sphincter and a penile prosthesis in prostate cancer survivors. One
commenter recommended that all device-related APCs have a status
indicator of ``S'' to reflect significant resources.
Response: We continue to believe that most procedures with
significant device costs packaged in will, if provided on the same day
and billed in conjunction with another procedure, be the most expensive
procedure on the claim and thus not subject to discounting. We are
concerned that, if we were to discontinue our policy of reducing
payment for multiple procedures, we would overpay some lower valued
procedures. We received many thoughtful comments on the multiple
procedure discounting of certain APCs and we intend to take these
comments under advisement and study this issue further.
Comment: One commenter objected to our proposal to stop applying
the 50 percent discount to offsets to pass-through payments when there
are multiple procedures involving a claim of a pass-through device
also.
Response: As discussed above, the discount to offsets to pass-
through payments will become a much less significant aspect beginning
January 1, 2003, when we will retire 95 of 97 existing categories and
add a limited number of new categories.
F. Outpatient Billing for Dialysis
Currently, Medicare does not pay for dialysis treatments furnished
to End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients on an outpatient basis,
unless the hospital also has a certified hospital-based ESRD facility.
As a result of this policy, ESRD patients in need of emergency dialysis
have been admitted to the hospital. These admissions have been found to
be inappropriate by the Quality Improvement Organizations, and payment
has been denied.
When ESRD patients come to the hospital for a medical emergency or
for problems with their access sites, they typically miss their
regularly scheduled dialysis appointments. If the ESRD patient's usual
facility is unable to reschedule the dialysis treatment, the ESRD
patient has to wait until the next scheduled dialysis appointment. We
are concerned that by maintaining this policy, ESRD patients may be
receiving interrupted care because there will be unnecessary lapses in
treatment. The ESRD patient should not be prevented from receiving her
or his normal dialysis because he or she experienced another unrelated
medical situation. Therefore, we proposed to allow payment for dialysis
treatments for ESRD patients in the outpatient department of a hospital
in specific situations. Payment would be limited to unscheduled
dialysis for ESRD patients in exceptional circumstances. Outpatient
dialysis for acute patients
[[Page 66804]]
would not be included in this payment mechanism.
In certain instances, it is appropriate to dialyze ESRD patients on
an outpatient basis. We proposed to allow payment for these nonroutine
dialysis treatments in medical situations in which the ESRD patient
cannot obtain her or his regularly scheduled dialysis treatment at a
certified ESRD facility. The circumstances in which we proposed to
allow payment are limited to:
[sbull] Dialysis performed following or in connection with a
vascular access procedure;
[sbull] Dialysis performed following treatment for an unrelated
medical emergency; for example, if a patient goes to the emergency room
for chest pains and misses a regularly scheduled dialysis treatment
that cannot be rescheduled, we would allow the hospital to provide and
bill Medicare for the dialysis treatment; and
[sbull] Emergency dialysis--Currently, the only mechanism available
for payment in this situation is through an inpatient admission. We
will maintain our policy that routine treatments in non-ESRD certified
hospitals would not be payable under OPPS.
We believe it is important to make this change in the policy for
two reasons:
[sbull] To ensure that hospital outpatient departments are paid for
providing this much needed service; and
[sbull] To prevent dialysis patients from receiving interrupted
care. Non-ESRD certified hospital outpatient facilities would bill
Medicare using a new G code, G0GGG, ``Unscheduled or emergency
treatment for dialysis for ESRD patient in the outpatient department of
a hospital that does not have a certified ESRD facility.'' We proposed
that this new code will have status indicator ``S'' and be assigned to
APC 0170. Payment would be roughly equivalent to the reimbursement rate
for acute dialysis. We proposed to implement this change effective
January 1, 2003. Effective January 1, 2003, this would be the only way
for non-ESRD certified hospital outpatient facilities to bill Medicare
and be paid for providing nonroutine outpatient dialysis to ESRD
patients.
We will be monitoring the use of this new code to ensure the
following:
[sbull] Certified dialysis facilities are not incorrectly using
this code.
[sbull] The same dialysis patient is not repeatedly using this
code, which would indicate routine dialysis treatment.
When ESRD patients receive outpatient dialysis in non-ESRD
certified hospital outpatient facilities, the patient's home facility
would be responsible for obtaining and reviewing the patient's medical
records to ensure that appropriate care was provided in the hospital
and that modifications are made, if necessary, to the patient's plan of
care upon her or his return to the facility. This ensures continuity of
care for the patient.
We received eight comments on our proposal to allow payment for
dialysis treatments for ESRD patients in the outpatient department of a
hospital. Although all of the comments support our proposed changes,
some commenters asked for clarification on issues pertaining to this
provision.
Comment: One commenter requested that we provide clarification on
how the payment rate would be determined for this service.
Response: In the August 9, 2002 proposed rule, we provided the
payment rate for providing dialysis treatments for ESRD patients in the
outpatient department of a hospital. The proposed rule stated that this
service would be assigned Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) 0170,
and Addendum A provides the payment rate for this APC. Effective
January 1, 2003, the payment national unadjusted rate for this service
will be $252.16.
Comment: One commenter wanted clarification on how services
typically associated with outpatient dialysis such as covered
pharmaceuticals and laboratory testing will be accounted for under the
proposed policy.
Response: We would pay separately for laboratory tests based on the
laboratory fee schedule. Drugs may or may not be paid separately from
the payment for the dialysis treatment. The drugs that would be paid
separately would have a separate APC. If there is not a separate APC,
then the drugs would be packaged into the APC paid for the dialysis
treatment.
Comment: One commenter expressed concern that the proposal to
require the ESRD patient's home facility to obtain and review the
patient's medical records from the hospital would create an additional
information collection burden for dialysis facilities. The commenter
requested that we include language in the final rule that specifically
outlines the hospital's responsibilities in providing the patient's
medical records to the home facility.
Response: There should be a regular exchange of information between
a patient's home facility and any treating facilities to verify the
care that has been provided and to ensure that patients are not
receiving inappropriate or incorrect treatment. The dialysis facility
is, however, ultimately responsible for effectively coordinating the
care of its patients, including the inclusion of all information in the
patient's medical record, and we believe obtaining and reviewing
information from other treating facilities is part of this
responsibility. The medical record indicates what care has actually
been provided, and it also provides the data for evaluation and
documentation of the quality and appropriateness of the care delivered.
We believe subsequent dialysis treatment at the patient's home facility
should not be provided without information from another treatment
facility because the home facility may need to make adjustments to the
plan of care when the patient returns to the facility, so the facility
should obtain this information from the hospital to implement any new
strategies, etc. Furthermore, since dialysis facilities should already
be collecting medical records for home dialysis patients and for
traveling patients, we do not view this as an additional information
collection burden. We view this as a responsibility within the
facilities scope of practice.
Comment: One commenter cautioned us about the potential for abuse
with this proposal and recommended that we develop clear guidelines
governing the use of this new code.
Response: We agree with the commenter, and we plan to issue
instructions for the use of the code as well as develop code edits to
monitor the use of this code to prevent potential fraud and abuse. The
instructions will be issued at a later date.
Comment: Another commenter requested clarification of the word
``routine,'' and what criteria that we will apply to establish whether
a patient is receiving ``routine'' dialysis treatment. The commenter
also requested documentation requirements (for example, diagnoses,
other procedures, etc.) for meeting these ``exceptional circumstances''
defined in the August 9, 2002 proposed rule.
Response: We define ``routine'' dialysis as the three times per
week maintenance treatment the same patient would normally receive at
his or her home facility. We would consider a patient to be receiving
routine dialysis if the claims received from the outpatient department
indicated that the same patient received dialysis treatment more than
once a week in this setting.
The August 9, 2002 proposed rule states that we would allow payment
for this unscheduled dialysis under exceptional circumstances, and
these circumstances would be (1) dialysis
[[Page 66805]]
performed following or in connection with a vascular access procedure;
(2) dialysis performed following treatment for an unrelated medical
emergency; and (3) emergency dialysis. These are the only situations in
which payment would be made for dialysis provided in the outpatient
department of a hospital without a certified dialysis facility. As
stated above, we plan on issuing instructions governing the specific
use of this code at a later date.
Comment: The commenter requested clarification as to whether an
emergency department that is part of a larger hospital that contains a
certified dialysis unit is already considered an ESRD certified
location. Specifically, is this proposed payment change only for those
providers that do not have a certified dialysis unit on their premises,
making them a non-ESRD certified outpatient facility? If the answer is
yes, then would the emergency department that is part of the hospital
that has an ESRD-certified location bill the new dialysis G code if
dialysis is given on an emergency basis while the ESRD certified
location is closed?
Response: The proposed G code is specifically designated for an
outpatient department of a hospital that does not have a certified ESRD
facility. Therefore, a hospital's emergency department cannot use the
code just because the certified dialysis facility is closed. The basis
for this decision is to prevent potential fraud and abuse. We do not
want dialysis facilities to use this as a means of circumventing the
current requirements to receive a higher reimbursement rate for
providing dialysis treatment. As stated above, we plan on issuing
instructions governing the specific use of this code at a later date.
XI. Summary and Responses of Public Comments to CMS's Response to
MedPAC Recommendations
In the August 9, 2002 proposed rule, we responded to the Medicare
Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) March 2002 Report to the Congress:
``Medicare Payment Policy,'' recommendations relating to the OPPS (67
FR 52141 through 52143). We received no comments on our responses to
MedPAC's recommendations. Therefore, we will not discuss that response
further here. We did receive comments from MedPAC on other issues in
the proposed rule. For convenience we group those comments and our
responses here:
Comment: MedPAC endorsed our proposal to create APCs for procedures
involving drug-eluting stents and noted, ``This step illustrates that
CMS can respond rapidly to ensure adequate payment for technologies
that are thought to be of a breakthrough nature.'' The Commission noted
that our reliance on data from other countries to set the payment rate
for this new technology appeared adequate in this instance. However, it
expressed some reservation about the long-term issues that might attend
more general use of such data. MedPAC has begun to consider these
issues in more depth and urges us to do so as well.
Response: We appreciate the Commission's views. We have adopted our
proposal for drug-eluting stents, including our method of setting the
payment rate. We will give further consideration to the issues involved
in use of foreign data.
Comment: MedPAC discussed the possibility that a pro rata reduction
to payments for transitional pass-through drugs and devices would be
needed this year, though we had not reached a conclusion on this
question in the August 9, 2002 proposed rule. The Commission commented
that even if a modest pro rata reduction is needed, it does not
anticipate serious consequences for access to new technology services
for several reasons. First, the methods for calculating transitional
pass-through payments may overcompensate for these services. Second,
hospitals are still likely to use these items to improve care and
maintain reputations for excellence. Third, little evidence is
available that indicates access problems resulting from the large pro
rata reduction in 2002. Fourth, asking hospitals to share in the costs
of new technologies gives them incentives to assess their value before
adopting them.
Response: We have concluded that no pro rata reduction will be
necessary for 2003. We appreciate and agree with the Commission's
analysis of the possible effects of a pro rata reduction.
Comment: Regarding payment for medical devices no longer eligible
for transitional pass-through payments, MedPAC urged us to work with
stakeholders in instances where creditable evidence is available that
coding issues may have led to inaccurate payment rates. The Commission
does not believe that an extension of transitional pass-through
eligibility is warranted or that data other than hospital cost data
should be used where reliable hospital cost data are available. It also
urged us to monitor beneficiary access to procedures that include such
devices if payments are cut significantly.
Response: We agree that extension of transitional pass-through
eligibility is not warranted, and we do not believe that the statute
contemplates that it could be continued. We also agree that
stakeholders may have valuable input, and as we describe elsewhere in
this final rule, we have received a great deal of helpful information
that has informed the policies adopted in this rule designed to
moderate payment reductions that may be associated with use of devices
(and of drugs) previously in transitional pass-through status. We also
agree that monitoring access by beneficiaries to these procedures is
important, and we expect to do so to the extent feasible.
Comment: MedPAC expressed concern that our proposal to pay
separately for high-cost drugs but not for other drugs has the
potential to distort the payment system. Where drugs may substitute for
one another, hospitals may face incentives to use those paid
separately. The Commission urged us to limit the amount of time this
policy is followed and to work to move more drugs into the procedure
APCs.
Response: We agree that this policy may have distorting effects on
incentives, and we do not intend to use it longer than necessary. In
future years, we hope to propose additional changes to this policy, and
in particular to package drugs into procedure APCs where this approach
appears reasonable. We hope further improvements in our data and
further attention to the structure of APCs involving the use of drugs,
such as those for infusion and injection, will provide the foundation
for future policy development in this area.
Comment: MedPAC commented that hospital cost data are preferable to
AWPs set by manufacturers. The Commission indicated the need to give
careful consideration to stakeholder comments on payment for drugs and
the importance of monitoring beneficiary access.
Response: We agree.
Comment: MedPAC commented that the reductions in payments for drugs
that may no longer be eligible for transitional pass-through payments
based on 95 percent of average wholesale price (AWP) will result in
lower payments for these drugs than in other settings, such as
physicians' offices. These differences may lead to shifts in the site
of care based on financial considerations. MedPAC commented that this
effect is not sufficient reason to change payments for these drugs in
the hospital outpatient setting, but that it indicates the need for a
new approach to paying for Part B drugs.
[[Page 66806]]
Response: The possibility of inappropriate shifts in site of
service is a source of concern. We note, however, that payment rates
for these drugs only shifted to 95 percent of AWP at the inception of
the OPPS; before that time, Medicare paid for drugs in outpatient
departments at reasonable cost, subject to statutory reductions.
Medicare payment for drugs in physicians' offices has been set at 95
percent of AWP throughout this period. It is not clear that the
increase in drug payments in outpatient departments from August 2000 to
the present has led to substantial shifts in site of service, and the
response to the forthcoming reductions may be muted as well.
Nonetheless, we believe that Medicare should attempt to align payments
across settings to the greatest extent possible in order to avoid
inappropriate incentives to shift the site of service. In particular,
we agree that a new approach to paying for Part B drugs would be
desirable.
Comment: MedPAC noted that we have the statutory authority to
modify updates to correct for unnecessary increases in the volume of
services or for ``upcoding'' by hospitals. The Commission urged us to
carefully track the volume of services and increases in coding
intensity.
Response: We have not proposed any adjustment to the update for
either of these reasons, and we will not adopt any such adjustment for
2003. We continue to monitor the progress of the OPPS system to discern
whether we should make any such adjustment in the future.
Comment: MedPAC noted that small rural hospitals will continue to
be held harmless for losses under the OPPS in 2003. The Commission
urged us to study the performance of small rural hospitals and evaluate
the impact of the end of their hold-harmless status.
Response: We agree that small rural hospitals warrant special
attention. We expect to study the effect of the transitional corridor
provision, including the protection it affords these hospitals, in the
period since the implementation of the OPPS so that we can help
evaluate what provision would be appropriate for 2004 and beyond.
XII. Provisions of the Final Rule With Comment for 2003
A. OPPS
The provisions of this final rule with comment restate changes to
the Medicare hospital OPPS and CY 2003 payment rates including changes
used to determine these payment rates set forth in the August 9, 2002
proposed rule, except as noted elsewhere in the preamble. The following
is a highlight of provisions implemented in this final rule, which are
discussed in detail above.
1. Statutory and Discretionary Changes
[sbull] We revised the methodology for calculating relative weights
to dampen the difference in the median costs for all APCs for which the
median costs fell more than 15 percent from 2002 to 2003; used only
claims on which devices were reported to set the median for APCs for
which the device was either essential or frequently used in the
procedures in the APC; split some APCs for which devices were an issue
to achieve more accurate pricing; limited the reduction in median costs
for blood and certain blood products to 11 percent, which limited the
reduction in payment from 2002 to 2003 to about 15 percent; used
acquisition costs from external sources as a factor together with
claims data in setting adjusted medians for four APCs.
[sbull] We reviewed and revised the composition of APCs to comply
with the limitation on variation in procedure medians and to achieve
more accurate reflections of the costs.
[sbull] We removed from pass-through status those drugs and devices
that will have been on pass-through status for at least 2 years on
January 1, 2003. We packaged the costs of the expiring devices into the
payments for the APCs with which the devices were billed. We packaged
the costs of the expiring drugs into the APCs with which the drugs were
billed if the per encounter drug cost was less than $150; we
established APCs for those drugs for which the per encounter drug cost
was more than $150 and for blood and certain blood products. We paid
for influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia vaccines and orphan drugs on a
reasonable cost basis.
[sbull] We estimated the amount of payment that would be made under
the pass through provisions and compared it to 2.5 percent of the
projected program expenditures; we determined that no pro rata
reduction would be needed for 2003, and we adjusted the conversion
factor accordingly.
[sbull] We established the percentages by which pass-through
devices would be reduced to remove the part of the payment that is
packaged into the APC when it is billed with the device.
[sbull] We finalized the regulations that describe the criteria
that must be met for a device to get a pass-through code.
[sbull] We issued the 2003 wage index and conversion factor that
would be applied to the relative weights to determine the amount of
payment for a particular hospital.
2. Changes to the Regulations Text
[sbull] We amended Sec. 419.21(d)(3) to delete influenza and
pneumococcal pneumonia vaccines from the list of items that are paid to
CORFs, HHAs, and hospices under OPPS.
[sbull] We amended Sec. 419.66(c)(1) to specify that we must
establish a new category for a medical device if it is not described by
any category previously in effect as well as an existing category. We
received no comments concerning this technical correction to our
regulations text. We are making this proposal final in this final rule.
B. Payment Suspension for Unfiled Cost Reports
We are adopting the provisions set forth in the proposed rule
without change.
C. Partial Hospitalization Services
In the August 9, 2002 proposed rule, we indicated we would be
addressing comments received on our proposal to establish a new payment
amount for partial hospitalization services and remove clinical social
worker services from the partial hospitalization benefit. Upon further
review we have determined that we will not include this issue in this
final rule, but will address it in future rulemaking.
D. Pneumococcal and Influenza Vaccines
Section 419.21(d)(3) states that ``Pneumococcal vaccine, influenza
vaccine, and hepatitis B vaccine'' are paid under the OPPS for
comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities, home health
agencies, and hospices. There is no specific inclusion of hospitals,
but we have paid hospitals for them under the OPPS since the OPPS
began. We are removing the pneumococcal vaccine and influenza vaccine
from this paragraph and want to pay for it under reasonable cost. We
are requesting public comment on this change.
XIII. Response to Public Comments
Because of the large number of items of correspondence we normally
receive on Federal Register documents published for comment, we are not
able to acknowledge or respond to them individually. We will consider
all comments we receive by the date and time specified in the DATES
section of this preamble, and, if we proceed with a subsequent
document, we will respond to comments in the preamble to that document.
[[Page 66807]]
XIV. Collection of Information Requirements
This rule does not impose information collection and recordkeeping
requirements. Consequently, it need not be reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget under the authority of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995.
XV. Regulatory Impact Analysis
The regulatory impact analysis for this final rule consists of an
impact analysis for the OPPS provisions and a regulatory impact
statement for the provision for payment suspension for unfiled cost
reports.
A. OPPS
1. General
We have examined the impacts of this rule as required by Executive
Order 12866 (September 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review), the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (September 16, 1980, Pub. L. 96-354),
section 1102(b) of the Social Security Act, the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4), and Executive Order 13132.
Executive Order 12866 (as amended by Executive Order 13258, which
merely reassigns responsibility of duties) directs agencies to assess
all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). A
regulatory impact analysis (RIA) must be prepared for major rules with
economically significant effects ($100 million or more in any 1 year).
We estimate the effects of the provisions that will be implemented
by this final rule will result in expenditures exceeding $100 million
in any 1 year. We estimate the total increase (from changes in the
final rule as well as enrollment, utilization, and case mix changes) in
expenditures under the OPPS for CY 2003 compared to CY 2002 to be
approximately $1.372 billion. Therefore, this final rule is an
economically significant rule under Executive Order 12866, and a major
rule under 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
The RFA requires agencies to determine whether a rule will have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
For purposes of the RFA, small entities include small businesses,
nonprofit organizations, and government agencies. Most hospitals and
most other providers and suppliers are small entities, either by
nonprofit status or by having revenues of $6 million to $29 million in
any 1 year (see 65 FR 69432).
For purposes of the RFA, we have determined that approximately 37
percent of hospitals will be considered small entities according to the
Small Business Administration (SBA) size standards. We do not have data
available to calculate the percentages of entities in the
pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing, biological products, or
medical instrument industries that would be considered to be small
entities according to the SBA size standards. For the pharmaceutical
preparation manufacturing industry (NAICS 325412), the size standard is
750 or fewer employees and $67.6 billion in annual sales (1997 business
census). For biological products (except diagnostic) (NAICS 325414),
with $5.7 billion in annual sales, and medical instruments (NAICS
339112), with $18.5 billion in annual sales, the standard is 50 or
fewer employees (see the standards Web site at http://www.sba.gov/regulations/siccodes/). Individuals and States are not included in the
definition of a small entity.
In addition, section 1102(b) of the Act requires us to prepare a
regulatory impact analysis if a rule may have a significant impact on
the operations of a substantial number of small rural hospitals. This
analysis must conform to the provisions of section 604 of the RFA. With
the exception of hospitals located in certain New England counties, for
purposes of section 1102(b) of the Act, we define a small rural
hospital as a hospital that is located outside of a Metropolitan
Statistical Area (MSA) and has fewer than 100 beds (or New England
County Metropolitan Area (NECMA)). Section 601(g) of the Social
Security Amendments of 1983 (Pub. L. 98-21) designated hospitals in
certain New England counties as belonging to the adjacent NECMA. Thus,
for purposes of the OPPS, we classify these hospitals as urban
hospitals. We believe that the changes in this final rule will affect
both a substantial number of rural hospitals as well as other classes
of hospitals and that the effects on some may be significant.
Therefore, we conclude that this final rule has a significant impact on
a substantial number of small entities. However, the statute provides
for small rural hospitals (of fewer than 100 beds) to be held harmless
by the law and to continue to be paid at cost; therefore this final
rule has no impact on them.
Unfunded Mandates
Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L.
104-4) also requires that agencies assess anticipated costs and
benefits before issuing any rule that may result in an expenditure in
any 1 year by State, local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or
by the private sector, of $110 million. This final rule will not
mandate any requirements for State, local, or tribal governments. This
final rule imposes no unfunded mandates on the private sector.
Federalism
Executive Order 13132 establishes certain requirements that an
agency must meet when it publishes a proposed rule (and subsequent
final rule) that imposes substantial direct costs on State and local
governments, preempts State law, or otherwise has Federalism
implications.
We have examined this final rule in accordance with Executive Order
13132, Federalism, and have determined that it will not have an impact
on the rights, roles, and responsibilities of State, local or tribal
governments. The impact analysis (see Table 10) shows that payments to
governmental hospitals (including State, local, and tribal governmental
hospitals) will increase by 5 percent under the final rule.
2. Changes in this Final Rule
We are making several changes to the OPPS that are required by the
statute. We are required under section 1833(t)(3)(C)(ii) of the Act to
update annually the conversion factor used to determine the APC payment
rates. We are also required under section 1833(t)(9)(A) of the Act to
revise, not less often than annually, the wage index and other
adjustments. In addition, we must review the clinical integrity of
payment groups and weights at least annually. Accordingly, in this
final rule, we are updating the conversion factor and the wage index
adjustment for hospital outpatient services furnished beginning January
1, 2003 as we discuss in sections VIII and VI, respectively, of this
preamble. We are also revising the relative APC payment weights based
on claims data from January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001. Finally,
we are removing 95 devices and more than 200 drugs and biologicals from
pass-through payment status.
Under this final rule, the change to the conversion factor as
provided by statute will increase total OPPS payments by 3.7 percent in
2003. The changes to the wage index and to the APC weights (which
incorporate the cessation of pass-through payments for many drugs and
devices) do not increase OPPS payments because the OPPS is budget
neutral. However, the
[[Page 66808]]
wage index and APC weight changes do change the distribution of
payments within the budget neutral system as shown in Table 10 and
described in more detail in this section.
Alternatives Considered
Alternatives to the changes we are making and the reasons that we
are choosing not to make them are discussed throughout this final rule.
Below we discuss options we considered when analyzing methodologies to
appropriately recognize the costs of former pass-through items. For a
more detailed discussion, see section IV.C regarding the expiration of
pass-through payment for devices and section IV.D regarding the
expiration of pass-through payment for drugs and biologicals.
Payment for Categories of Devices
We considered establishing separate APCs for categories of devices
and paying for them separately. We are not choosing this option because
we believe that to the extent possible, hospital payment for procedures
and visits should include all of the costs required to provide the
procedures and visits.
A second option we considered involved (1) packaging some
categories of devices into the procedures with which they were billed
in 2001 and (2) paying the rest through separate APCs (as discussed in
section IV of this final rule.). We are not choosing this option
because we believe that devices are routinely used in the services for
which they are needed and therefore are consistently paid at the cost
of providing the service. Furthermore, criteria that will provide a
basis for some devices to be packaged and for others to be paid
separately must be developed and approved, thereby further complicating
an already complex payment system.
Payment for Drugs and Biologicals
We considered continuing to make separate payment for all drugs and
biologicals through separate APCs. We are not choosing to pay
separately for all drugs through separate APCs because we believe that,
to the extent possible, hospital payment for services should include
all of the costs of the services. We believe that drugs should be
packaged with the services in which they are furnished except when we
determine that there is a valid reason to do otherwise. However, we
recognize that (unlike the stability that exists with device usage with
the applicable procedures) the use of drugs may vary widely depending
upon patient and disease characteristics. Therefore, packaging payment
for all drugs may, in some cases, provide inadequate payment for the
services furnished. Where a hospital has a disproportionate share of
patients who need greater amounts of expensive drugs, underpayment for
the drugs needed by these patients could result in cessation of needed
services. For the first year that we are ceasing transitional pass-
through payment for drugs, we decided to proceed cautiously by paying
separately for drugs when the cost per encounter was more than $150 or
when special characteristics existed (for example, orphan drugs, blood
products).
We also considered packaging the costs of all drugs into the cost
of the associated procedures with which they were billed in 2001. We
did not package all payment for drugs into the payment for the
procedures because, while this packaging is ultimately our goal, we
believe, for the reasons indicated above, that we need to proceed
cautiously to ensure that we do not inadvertently threaten access to
needed care.
Conclusion
It is clear that the changes in this final rule will affect both a
substantial number of rural hospitals as well as other classes of
hospitals, and the effects on some may be significant. Therefore, the
discussion below, in combination with the rest of this final rule,
constitutes a regulatory impact analysis.
The OPPS rates for CY 2003 will have, overall, a positive effect
for every category of hospital with the exception of children's
hospitals, which are held harmless under the OPPS. These changes in the
OPPS for 2003 will result in an overall 3.7 percent increase in
Medicare payments to hospitals, exclusive of outlier and transitional
pass-through payments and transitional corridor payments. As described
in the preamble, budget neutrality adjustments are made to the
conversion factor and the weights to ensure that the revisions in the
wage index, APC groups, and relative weights do not affect aggregate
payments. The impact of the wage and recalibration changes does vary
somewhat by hospital group. Estimates of these impacts are displayed on
Table 10.
The overall projected increase in payments for urban hospitals is
slightly lower (3.1 percent) than the average increase for all
hospitals (3.7 percent) while the increase for rural hospitals is
significantly greater (6.2 percent) than the average increase. Rural
hospitals gain 2.2 percent from the wage index change, and also gain
0.1 percent from APC changes. A discussion of the distribution of
outlier payments that we project under this final rule can be found
under section XV.A.4 below. Table 11 presents the outlier distribution
that we expect to see under this final rule.
3. Limitations of Our Analysis
The distributional impacts represent the projected effects of the
policy changes, as well as statutory changes effective for 2003, on
various hospital groups. We estimate the effects of individual policy
changes by estimating payments per service while holding all other
payment policies constant. We use the best data available but do not
attempt to predict behavioral responses to our policy changes. In
addition, we do not make adjustments for future changes in variables
such as service volume, service mix, or number of encounters.
4. Estimated Impacts of This Final Rule on Hospitals
The OPPS is a budget neutral payment system under which the
increase to the total payments made under OPPS is limited by the
increase to the conversion factor set under the methodology in the
statute. The impact tables show the redistributive effects of the wage
index and APC changes. In some cases, under this final rule, hospitals
will receive more total payment than in 2002 while in other cases they
will receive less total payment than they received in 2002. The impact
of this final rule will depend on a number of factors, most significant
of which are the mix of services furnished by a hospital (for example,
how the APCs for the hospital's most frequently furnished services will
change) and the impact of the wage index changes on the hospital.
Column 4 in Table 12 represents the full impact on each hospital
group of all the changes for 2003. Columns 2 and 3 in the table reflect
the independent effects of the change in the wage index and the APC
reclassification and recalibration changes, respectively. We excluded
critical access hospitals (CAHs) from the analysis of the impact of the
2003 OPPS rates that is summarized in Table 12. For that reason, the
total number of hospitals included in Table 10 (4,551) is lower than in
previous years. CAHs are excluded from the OPPS.
In general, the wage index changes favor rural hospitals,
particularly the largest in bed size and volume. The only rural
hospitals that will experience a negative impact due to wage index
changes are those in Puerto Rico, a decrease of 3.2 percent.
Conversely, the urban hospitals are generally negatively
[[Page 66809]]
affected by wage index changes, with the largest decreases occurring in
those with 300 to 499 beds (-0.7 percent) and those in the Middle
Atlantic (-1.0 percent), Pacific (-1.2 percent), and Puerto Rico
Regions (-1.6 percent). However, this effect is somewhat lessened by
the distribution of outlier payments as discussed in more detail below.
The APC reclassification and recalibration changes also favor rural
hospitals and have a negative effect on urban hospitals in excess of
200 beds. Specifically, urban hospitals with 300 to 499 beds (-0.6
percent decrease) and urban hospitals in excess of 500 beds (a -0.8
percent decrease) all show a decrease attributed to APC recalibration.
However, this decrease is much less than what would have occurred under
the proposed rule.
In urban areas, hospitals that provide a lower volume of outpatient
services are projected to receive a larger increase in payments than
higher volume hospitals. In rural areas, hospitals with higher volumes
are expected to receive higher increases in payments. In rural areas,
hospitals with volumes greater than 42,999 services are projected to
experience a significant increase in payments (7.7 percent). The less
favorable impact for the high volume urban hospitals is attributable to
both wage index and APC changes. For example, urban hospitals providing
more than 42,999 services are projected to gain a combined 2.8 percent
due to these changes.
Major teaching hospitals are projected to experience a smaller
increase in payments (2.7 percent) than the aggregate for all hospitals
(3.7 percent) due to negative impacts of the wage index (-0.3 percent)
and recalibration (-0.8 percent). Hospitals with less intensive
teaching programs are projected to experience an overall increase (3.2
percent) that is smaller than the average for all hospitals.

\1\ Some data necessary to classify hospitals by category were missing; thus, the total number of hospitals in
each category may not equal the national total.
\2\ This column shows the impact of updating the wage index used to calculate payment by applying the FY 2003
hospital inpatient wage index after geographic reclassification by the Medicare Geographic Classification
Review Board. The hospital inpatient final rule for FY 2003 was published in the Federal Register on May 9,
2002.
\3\ This column shows the impact of changes resulting from the reclassification of HCPCS codes among APC groups
and the recalibration of APC weights based on 2001 hospital claims data.
\4\ This column shows changes in total payment from CY 2002 to CY 2003, excluding outlier and pass-through
payments. It incorporates all of the changes reflected in columns 2 and 3. In addition, it shows the impact of
the FY 2003 payment update. The sum of the columns may be different from the percentage changes shown here due
to rounding.
Note: For CY 2003, under the OPPS transitional corridor policy,
the following categories of hospitals are held harmless compared to
their 1996 payment margin for these services: cancer and children's
hospitals and rural hospitals with 100 or fewer beds.
As stated elsewhere in this preamble, we have allocated 2 percent
of the estimated 2003 expenditures to outlier payments. In Table 13
below, we provide a distribution by percentage of the total projected
outlier payments for the categories of hospitals that we show in the
impact table (Table 10).
We project, based on the mix of services for the hospitals that
will be paid under the OPPS in 2003, that most hospitals will receive
outlier payments.
The anticipated outlier payments for urban hospitals can be
expected to ameliorate the impact of the wage index and APC changes on
payments to urban hospitals.

5. Estimated Impacts of This Final Rule on Beneficiaries
For services for which the beneficiary pays a coinsurance of 20
percent of the payment rate, the beneficiary share of payment will
increase for services for which OPPS payments will rise and will
decrease for services for which OPPS payments will fall. For example
for a mid level office visit (APC 0601), the minimum unadjusted
copayment in 2002 was $9.67; under this final rule, the minimum
unadjusted copayment for APC 601 is $10.11 because the OPPS payment for
the service will increase under this final rule. For some services
(those services for which a national unadjusted copayment amount is
shown in Addendum B), however, the beneficiary copayment is frozen
based on historic data and will not change, therefore not presenting
any potential impact on beneficiaries.
However, in all cases, the statute limits beneficiary liability for
copayment for a service to the inpatient hospital deductible for the
applicable year. This amount was $812 for 2002, and is $840 for 2003.
In general, the impact of this final rule on beneficiaries will vary
based on the service the beneficiary receives and whether the copayment
for the service is one that is frozen under the OPPS.
B. Payment Suspension for Unfiled Cost Reports
Overall Impact
We have examined the impacts of this final rule as required by
Executive Order 12866 (September 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review),
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (September 16, 1980, Public Law
96-354), section 1102(b) of the Social Security Act, the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4), and Executive Order 13132.
(A description of each of these requirements is stated above in section
XV.A.1.)
We have determined that the payment suspension provision does not
have an economic impact on Medicare payments or other payments to
providers. We are allowing the Secretary flexibility in payment
suspensions, but we are not altering the final payment determination in
any way. With the implementation of the various prospective payment
systems, the majority of the payment to providers is based on the PPS
methodology and not on the cost report. Suspending all payments because
the cost report is not timely filed negatively affects providers.
Providing the Secretary with flexibility in payment suspension can
lessen the financial impact on providers. For these reasons, we are not
preparing analyses for either the RFA or section 1102(b) of the Act
because we have determined, and we certify, that this rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities or a significant impact on the operations of a substantial
number of small rural hospitals. Under the requirement for Unfunded
Mandates, this final rule will not have an economic effect on State,
local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or on the private
sector.
Anticipated Effects
1. Effects on Providers That File Cost Reports
The majority of providers that file cost reports comply with the
timeliness provisions and will be unaffected by this regulation. In FY
2000, collectively 16 percent of hospitals, skilled nursing facilities,
and home health agencies filed late cost reports. Of this 16 percent,
65 percent of those were only 1 day late. Currently, when a provider
fails to file an acceptable cost report, the provider is placed on a
complete payment suspension. Under this provision, for those providers
who do not file timely, an immediate payment suspension less than the
total suspension currently required might be imposed if the Secretary
deemed it appropriate, which will allow the provider to more easily
continue operations while completing and submitting the acceptable cost
report.
2. Effects on Other Providers
The payment suspension provision does not affect other providers.
3. Effects on the Medicare Program
The provision will allow the Secretary to more effectively manage
the Medicare program by imposing other than complete payment suspension
when it is appropriate to do so. The Medicare program benefits because
immediate complete payment suspension can be disruptive to providers
and may negatively affect the care of Medicare patients. There are no
costs to the Medicare program to doing so, because when the cost report
is submitted, the suspended payments are returned to the provider.
4. Effects on Beneficiaries
We have determined that this provision has a potentially positive
impact on beneficiaries. Under this provision, the Secretary will have
the
[[Page 66813]]
discretion to impose less than 100 percent payment suspension when a
provider fails to timely file an acceptable cost report. Doing so will
lessen the financial burden on the provider and thereby allow it to
provide adequate services to its patient population as it works to
complete and file an acceptable cost report.
Alternatives Considered
We considered not revising existing Sec. 405.371(c) to provide
that payment suspension could be ``in whole or in part.'' However, we
did not choose this option because we believe the Secretary should have
the discretion to impose partial payment suspensions when circumstances
warrant in order to more effectively manage the Medicare program.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we have determined that the payment suspension
provision does not have an economic impact on Medicare payments.
C. Federalism
Since this regulation does not impose any costs on State or local
governments, it will not have an effect on State or local governments.
State or local governments will have no roles or responsibilities
associated with this provision.
In accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 12866, this
regulation was reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
