Purpose of the OPPS I/OCE functionality The Integrated Outpatient Code Editor (I/OCE) software combines editing logic with the new APC assignment program designed to meet the mandated OPPS implementation. The software performs the following functions when processing a claim: - Edits a claim for accuracy of submitted data
- Assigns APCs
- Assigns CMS-designated status indicators
- Assigns payment indicators
- Computes discounts, if applicable
- Determines a claim disposition based on generated edits
- Determines if packaging is applicable
- Determines payment adjustment, if applicable
Purpose of the non-OPPS I/OCE functionality In addition to its editing function, the I/OCE program screens each procedure code against a list of approximately 2500 ASC procedures, and summarizes whether or not the bill is subject to the ASC limitation. Appendix A contains lists of codes associated with program edits for both OPPS and non-OPPS processing
