Revenue Center Status Indicator Code

EFFECTIVE 10/3/2005 WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NCH/NMUD CR#2, THE CODE USED TO IDENTIFY THE STATUS OF THE LINE ITEM SERVICE. THIS FIELD ALONG WITH THE PAYMENT METHOD INDICATOR FIELD IS USED TO IDENTIFY HOW THE SERVICE WAS PRICED FOR PAYMENT. NOTE1: THIS 2-BYTE INDICATOR IS BEING ADDED DUE TO AN EXPANSION OF A FIELD THAT CURRENTLY EXIST ON THE REVENUE CENTER TRAILER. THE STATUS INDICATOR IS CURRENTLY THE 1ST POSITION OF THE REVENUE CENTER PAYMENT METHOD INDICATOR CODE. THE PAYMENT METHOD INDICATOR CODE IS BEING SPLIT INTO TWO 2-BYTE FIELDS (PAYMENT INDICATOR AND STATUS INDICATOR). THE EXPANDED PAYMENT INDICATOR WILL CONTINUE TO BE STORED IN THE EXISTING PAYMENT METHOD INDICATOR FIELD. THE SPLIT OF THE CURRENT PAYMENT METHOD INDICATOR FIELD IS DUE TO THE EXPANSION OF BOTH PIECES OF DATE FROM1-BYTE TO 2-BYTES. NOTE2: THIS FIELD IS POPULATED FOR THOSE CLAIMS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO PROCESS THROUGH OUTPATIENT PPS PRICER. THE TYPE OF BILLS (TOB) REQUIRED TO PROCESS THROUGH ARE: 12X, 13X, 14X (EXCEPT MARYLAND PROVIDERS, INDIAN HEALTH PROVIDERS, HOSPITALS LOCATED IN AMERICAN SAMOA, GUAM AND SAIPAN AND CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS (CAH)); 76X; 75X AND 34X IF CERTAIN HCPCS ARE ON THE BILL; AND ANY OUTPATIENT TYPE OF BILL WITH A CONDITION CODE 07 AND CERTAIN HCPCS. THESE CLAIM TYPES COULD HAVE LINES THAT ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PRICE UNDER OPPS RULES SO THOSE LINES WOULD NOT HAVE DATA IN THIS FIELD. ADDITIONAL EXCEPTION: VIRGIN ISLAND HOSPITALS AND HOSPITALS THAT FURNISH ONLY INPATIENT PART B SERVICES. [NCH]
