OCE Versions Outpatient Code Editor (OCE)

Versions of the OCE Program

Table 1–1 lists the versions and date ranges of the program contained in the current release of I/OCE software for OPPS processing. The third level in the version number (represented by x's in the table) denotes the number of revisions created since the original OPPS release. For example, 4.1.7 would be the seventh revision of the released version 4.1 product.

➤ Note: Separately installed versions of the non-OPPS OCE must be maintained for as long as necessary to process claims for all hospital outpatient services provided prior to August 1, 2000, and non-OPPS hospital outpatient services prior to July 1, 2007.
