Summary: The commenter is seeking clarification regarding the scope of the FY2012 APU proposal to submit All-Patient Volume Data for Selected MS-DRGs. They are specifically asking whether the data will be limited to core measure patients or include all patients with relevant principal diagnosis codes.
We are interested in understanding in more detail the FY2012 APU proposal to submit All-Patient Volume Data for Selected MS-DRGs.
1. Will these be patients that fall into a core measure only? Or will this be open to all patients that have a principal diagnosis codes that rolls up to one of those MS-DRGs?
2. If this will be for only patients that fall into the core measure population, then what about hospitals that submit sampled data to CMS?
