This file contains a summary of service utilization by ASC supplier and is derived from CY 2007 ASC line item level data, updated through June 2008, that is, line items for services furnished on or after January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 that were received, processed, paid, and passed to the National Claims History file by June 30, 2008. This file only contains data for ASC services billed in CY 2007 that were eligible to receive payment under the previous ASC payment system and does not include services that were added under the revised ASC payment system. We revised CY 2007 HCPCS (where appropriate) to reflect their CY 2009 status and description using an internal CY 2007 to CY 2009 crosswalk file. This file includes 505,489 records summarized first at the supplier level and then at the HCPCS level. This is a flat file that is available on DVD. This file does not contain data elements such as diagnosis codes, bill type, outlier payments, and service revenue payments that might permit identification of beneficiaries. This file will be available twice a year. The file for the proposed rule for the annual OPPS/ASC update should be available by late spring/early summer, and the file for the final rule should be ready for release within a month of publication of the final rule. Media: DVD Cost: $1,600 *Reuse fee of $600 effective April 1, 2009 Data Format: Fixed column format with SAS® read-in program Available: Final 2009 To browse the record layout, see the Downloads section below.
