NAME:        	Revenue Center Discount Indicator Code
 
 
 DESCRIPTION:	This code represents a factor that specifies 
		the amount of any APC discount.  The discounting 
		factor is applied to a line item with a service 
		indicator (part of the REV_CNTR_PMT_MTHD_IND_CD) 
		of 'T'.  The flag is applicable when more than 
		one significant procedure is performed. 

		**If there is no discounting the factor will be 
		1.0.**
 
 		NOTE1:  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
 		with dates of service 1/1/02 and forward.
 
 		NOTE2:  It has been discovered that this field may be
 		populated with data on claims with dates of service
 		prior to 7/00 (implementation of Claim Line Expansion
 		OPPS/HHPPS).  The original understanding of the new
 		revenue center fields was that data would be populated
 		on claims with dates of service 7/00 and forward.  
		Data has been found in claims with dates of service 
		prior to 7/00 because the Standard Systems have 
		processed any claim coming in 7/00 and after, meeting 
		the above criteria, through the Outpatient Code Editor 
		(OCE) regardless of the dates of service.
