                   Wage Index - Updated Labor Market Areas
                   We are proposing to use the most recent labor
                   market area delineations issued by the Office of
                   Management and Budget (OMB) using 2010 Census
                   data.  In order to mitigate potential negative
                   payment impacts due to the proposed adoption of
                   the new OMB delineations, CMS is proposing that
                   hospitals currently located in an urban county
                   that would become rural under the new OMB
                   delineations would be assigned the urban wage
                   index value of the labor market area in which they
                   are physically located for FY 2014 for 3 years
                   beginning in FY 2015. The rule also proposes a
                   one-year transition for all hospitals that would
                   experience a decrease in their actual payment wage
                   index exclusively due to the proposed
                   implementation of the new OMB delineations.

                   Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program.
                   For FY 2015, as directed by the law, CMS is
                   increasing the applicable percent reduction, the
                   portion of Medicare payments available to fund the
                   value-based incentive payments under the program,
                   to 1.5 percent of the base operating DRG payment
                   amounts to all participating hospitals.

                   Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program
                   The maximum reduction in payments under the
                   Hospital Readmissions Reduction program will
                   increase from 2 to 3 percent as required by law.

                   Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program.
                   Beginning in FY 2015, hospitals scoring in the top
                   quartile for the rate of HACs (i.e. those with the
                   poorest performance) will have their Medicare
                   inpatient payments reduced by one percent.

                   Low-Volume Hospitals.
                   Section 105 of the Protecting Access to Medicare
                   Act of 2014 extended the temporary changes to the
                   low-volume hospital payment adjustment for an
                   additional year (through March 31, 2015). In the
                   FY 2015 IPPS/LTCH proposed rule, we are proposing
                   conforming changes to the regulations. New table
                   for 2015 added to pricer.
                   Add date logic to stop computing low volume add
                   on after 3/31/2015

                   Un-Compensated Care
                   Uncompensated care will now come from the PSF
                   Provider File instead of a table in the pricer
                   program.

                   Medicare Dependent Hospitals
                   Section 106 of the Protecting Access to Medicare
                   Act of 2014 extended the Medicare Dependent
                   Hospital program for an additional year (through
                   March 31, 2015).  In the FY 2015 IPPS/LTCH
                   proposed rule, we are proposing conforming changes
                   to the regulations.

                   ================================================
                   Shared Systems Standardization
                   PRICER does need to calculate a standardized
                   amount for all IPPS hospitals as well as acute
                   Maryland hospitals. For Maryland, FISS will be
                   passing in to the PRICER all the same information
                   that is passed for IPPS claims.
                   Added code to compute a standardized price for
                   claims.

                   The formula is:
                   STANDARDIZED_ALLOWED_AMOUNT = (National operating
                   base rate + national capital base rate) *
                   H-DRG-WT-FRCTNá + standardized_new_technology  +
                   standardized_operating_outlier  +
                   standardized_capital_outlier.
                   =================================================
                   Logic to implement EHR savings calculation

                   Autual EHR reductions will be built into new rate
                   tables (5,6,7,&8) up front. It is desired to have
                   the amount of money the EHR policy 'saved' in its
                   own field which involves restoring the full
                   market basket to the payment to get the 'would've
                   paid' and then taking the difference between
                   actual paid and would've paid for the savings.
                   Outliers are to be left out at moment since
                   outlier should be lower on the full rate than it
                   winds up being on the reduced rate - likewise new
                   tech is being left out. Added code to compute EHR
                   adjustment

                   Required 4 new rate tables
                   Code to activate the EHR adjustment using new PSF
                   field P-EHR-REDUC-IND

                   IF P-NEW-CBSA-HOSP-QUAL-IND = '1' AND
                      P-EHR-REDUC-IND = 'Y'
                      MOVE 1.0075 TO H-UPDATE-140.
                   =================================================
                   IF P-NEW-CBSA-HOSP-QUAL-IND NOT = '1' AND
                       P-EHR-REDUC-IND = 'Y'
                       MOVE 1.0045 TO H-UPDATE-140.

                   Medicare inpatient payments reduced by one
                   percent.

                   Added code to compute the HAC adjustment using a
                   new field on the PSF file P-HAC-REDUC-IND

                   IF  P-HAC-REDUC-IND = 'Y'
                       COMPUTE   WK-HAC-AMOUNT     ROUNDED =

 I.  INTRODUCTION




   I-1.  GENERAL
   PRICER refers to a group of programs  which will calculate the payment amount
   for an inpatient  PPS bill based on the data elements  passed to it.  It will
   return the payment amount and other data used in pricing or error indications
   if  pricing  could not  be properly  executed.   PRICER  will price  the most
   current  fiscal five  (5) year period,  i.e., 2001  through 2009.   There are
   three levels of processing within PRICER, Flowchart Figure 1.1.

  TESTING --  START HERE (COBOL ONLY û CICS DOES NOT ALLOW OPENS ETC..)

   1.   PPMGR154-This is a test driver   module and  it should  be used for  the
   installation and testing  phases of PRICER.  It calls the most current 5 year
   period based on the discharge date, in exactly the same manner it does now.

  MVS/COBOL  --  START HERE  (COBOL ONLY û CICS DOES NOT ALLOW OPENS ECTà)

   2.  PPOPN154 -This program does all the I/O functions, such as loading
   the  Provider Specific  File  (PSF) and  the  Wage  Index File.  Selects  the
   prov-record for each bill being processed.

  CICS --  START HERE  (MUST SET UP YOUR OWN INTERFACE)

   3. PPDRV154 -  Assembles the  necessary  pricing variables,  and screens

   the  bill date  Calling the appropriate CALCulation Module for each bill.

   4.  PPCAL032, PPCAL047, PPCAL053, PPCAL064, PPCAL076, PPCAL088
        PPCAL098, PPCAL10A
   These are the five
   yearly modules where all of the edits and calculations are performed. Every
   fiscal year  the earliest CALC  module will be  dropped and the  new Fiscal
   Year CALC Module will be added, maintaining a five year pricing period.

   5. Files #18 through  File #27 are Provider  Regional files --- only  for VA,
   HMO,  and FEHB's. Intermediaries  do not need  these files. The  VA, HMO, and
   FEHB's must add  the necessary JCL to  unload and ---  use only the  Regional
   file that pertains to them, unload shown in FIGURE 2.2 and FIGURE 3.1.
                                                     *

   The purpose  of this manual is  to provide Intermediary technical  staff with
   the information necessary  to understand, install, test,  debug, support and,
   if  necessary, modify  the Fiscal Year  (FY) 2015  PPS PRICER  driver routine
   (PPDRV154).

   The  Intermediary  is required  to  use  the CALCulation  Modules  (PPCAL032,
   PPCAL047, PPCAL053, PPCAL064 PPCAL076, PPCAL088 PPCAL098 and PPCAL10A
         for pricing Inpatient Prospective
   Payment  System (PPS)  bills.  The design  of  the  CALC Modules  allows  the
   Intermediary flexibility in the manner in which it may be installed. The CALC
   Modules are intended to execute as a subroutine (CALLed) of the PRICER Driver
   Program (PPDRV154) or  of an  Intermediary written inter-face program.  The
   CALC modules  can execute  as stand-alone  routines, if  they are  passed the
   necessary data.

   Included with this documentation  is a PRICER INSTALLATION TAPE  or NDM FILE.
   With the exception  of the Provider Specific  File (which must be  created by
   the Intermediary), the  TAPE/CARTRIDGE or  NDM file contains  all files  that
   should be needed to execute PRICER. A test driver (PPMGR154) program, a  test
   provider file and a TEST BILL file are also included on the TAPE/CARTRIDGE or
 NDM file. These can be useful to assure that the PRICER is executing properly.






   In preparing this manual, the following assumptions were made:

   1.   The reader is familiar with  IBM 370 Principals of Operation  as well as
   CICS, MVS/COBOL II, MVS/COBOL and OS JCL.
   2.  The datasets  required by PRICER  will be copied  to disk and  catalogued
   according to your data center conventions.
   3.  The  volume serial numbers  on the sample JCL  will be replaced  with the
   volume  serial  number  of  the  transfer  TAPE/CARTRIDGE  received  by  your
   installation.  This  number  will   be  indicated  on  the  outside   of  the
   TAPE/CARTRIDGE you receive.
   4.  The GROUPER Versions 20.0, 21.0,  22.0, 23.0, 24.0 have been installed at
   the Intermediary data processing site prior to installing and testing PRICER
   2015.
   5.  PPOPN154 will be installed in the Intermediary system at a point where it
   receives  fully  edited data.  This  loads  and selects  the  Prov-record and
   Wage-index table for given bill.

 II.  INSTALLING THE FY 2015.4 PROSPECTIVE PAYMENT SUBROUTINES (PRICER)
   II-1.  GENERAL
       A.  Installing the PRICER Version 2015.4 consists of the following steps:
           1.  All Intermediaries -- copy only files 1 through 17 to disk.
           2.  All HMO's, VA and FEHB's  -- Copy all files to disk.
           3.  Compile and link  PPMGR154(TESTING) , PPOPN154(COBOL)
               PPDRV154(CICS), and
               the yearly calculation modules  PPCAL032, PPCAL047,  PPCAL053,

               PPCAL064, PPCAL076, PPCAL088, PPCAL098 AND PPCAL10A.
           4.  Perform  assurance  testing.   PPMGR154 may be used   to  test
                the PRICER (see Section V).
           5.  Install PRICER 2015.4 in production.
 ** NOTE:      PPMGR, PPOPN, PPDRV and all PPCAL modules  are written in CICS/
               MVS-COBOL II  and  were  developed and  tested on  an  IBM 3090.

               require some  program modifications. Installing this  software on
               equipment that is  not IBM compatible  will also require  program
               modifications.

   II-2.  COPYING THE PRICER FILES TO DISK
       A.  Pricer installation tape/cartridge process.
           1.  The  files contained  on the  PRICER Installation  Tape/Cartridge
               were  created with the  IBM IEBGENER utility.   The  files may be
               copied  to  disk using  any utility  capable  of copying  a fixed
               length record data set.
           2.  The PRICER Installation  Tape/Cartridge contains the installation
               manual,  the  program source  code  and data  files  necessary to
               install PRICER.  The  tape/Cartridge is IBM Standard Label,  1600
               BPI  and  contains   twenty-seven files.  The  files   and  their
               respective  location,  block  size,  logical  record  length  and
             descriptions are shown in Figure 2.1.  Figure 2.2 shows sample JCL
               for loading the files to disk.
       B.  Pricer installation NDM file process.
           1.  The  files contained  on the  PRICER Installation  NDM file  were
               created with  the IBM IEBGENER utility.   The files may be copied
               to  disk  using any  utility capable  of  copying a  fixed length
               record data set.
           2.  The PRICER NDM file contains the installation manual, the program
               source code and data files necessary to  install PRICER.  The NDM
               file is a  disk file  transmitted via the  NDM system  containing
               twenty-six files. The files and their block size, logical record
               length and description are shown in  Figure 2.1. Figure 3.1 shows
               sample  JCL for    downloading  the NDM  files to disk  files for
               processing.

   II-3.  COMPILING AND LINKAGE OF PPMGR154, PPOPN154, PPDRV154 and PPCALs



A. All programs were developed  to use either CICS or MVS/COBOL II.
       B. The PP CALculation Modules are intended to be CALLed by a user written
           interface  program  or  to  be  CALLed   by  PPDRV154.  They  may  be
          dynamically loaded  or the user  may INCLUDE the  PP CALculations when
           linking to the user interface module.
       C.  PPMGR  "CALLs"  the latest  PPOPN  version  which in  turn  calls the
           PPDRV version which in turn calls the appropriate PPCALculaton

           Module. When  linking  PPMGR,   the  user  should  include PPOPN, and

           PPDRV versions and the appropriate years PPCAL modules.
       D.  Sample JCL for compiling and linking  PPMGR, PPOPN,PPDRV, and PPCAL
           modules is shown in Figures 3.2 and 3.3 for compile CICS/MVS-COBOL II

           Figures 3.2 and 3.3 for linkedit CICS/MVS-COBOL II.

   II-4.  PRICER ASSURANCE TESTING
        A. (MVS/COBOL only)  It is the userÆs responsibility to assure that the
       PRICER is executing properly at the user site. The way to test    PPOPN,
PPDRV, PPCAL is to execute PPMGR using the test Bill    File (See Sect. IV).
        B. (CICS only)  Must setup your own interface. Test the CICS process
                 Using PPDRV, which call PPCAL.

 III.  USING THE FY 2015.4 PROSPECTIVE PAYMENT PRICER SUBROUTINE (PPCAL)

   III-1.  GENERAL

   The purpose of the PPS PRICER subroutine (PPCAL) is to provide the  user with
   the proper payment amount for  PPS Inpatient bills. Each PPCAL  processes one
   Fiscal Years bills.  PRICER will be processing the latest 5 year period.

   The I/O OPEN program (PPOPN) calls the driver program (PPDRV) which CALLs

   The PPCALÆs and passes the  necessary data or  a user written interface
   program calls PPCAL  supplying it with the  necessary
   data. PPCAL will calculate the payment amount for an Inpatient PPS bill based
   on the data elements passed to it.  It will return the payment amount & other
   data  used  in  pricing or  error  codes  if pricing  could  not  be properly
   executed.  Since  PPCAL expects fully edited  and audited data, it   performs
   only rudimentary data edits.  It is the responsibility of the Intermediary to
   assure the accuracy of the data that is submitted to the PPCAL subroutine.

   III-2.  USING PPCAL
   Using PPCAL for batch requires:

       1.  Installing PRICER as specified in Section II.

       2.  Execute PPDRV or  a user  written interface program  that passes  the
           proper data.

   PP CALulation modules  can execute independently if a user written interface
   program  supplies the  necessary data  i.e.,  PSF and  wage index  files, see
   OPTION 1.

 IV.  Using The FY 2015.4 Prospective Payment Subroutine (PPOPN154)

   IV-1.   GENERAL

   PPOPN is a batch I/0 program that performs the following:

   1.  Loads the Provider Specific File
   2.  Loads the Wage Index File - for the latest five year period.
   3.  Selects the prov-record for the appropriate bill.
   4.  Passes the prov-record and the wage index table to the PPDRV.
   5.  Passes the necessary data to price the bill.
   6.  Passes the necessary data back to PPMGR154 to print the results.

   IV-2.   USING PPOPN

   The user can execute PPOPN in one of three methods.  Each "OPTION" requires
   an increasing number of call list arguments.

   OPTION 1 (letter æAÆ)
   Allows the user interface to supply the records used by Pricer (PROV RECORD,

   MSAX RECORD and CBSA RECORD)

   OPTION 2 (letter æPÆ)
   Allows the user interface to supply and pass the Prov record along with the
   MSAX AND CBSA Tables

   ** NOTE:    MSAX is supplied by CMS on the PPS PRICER INSTALLATION FILE.
   ** NOTE:    CBSA is  supplied by  CMS on  the PPS  PRICER INSTALLATION  FILE.
               PROV  (the  provider  specific  file)  must  be  created  by  the
               Intermediary. The DRGX file is also  on the installation file. It
               is now memory resident and the file is for reference only.

   OPTION 3 (letter æMÆ)
   Allows the user interface to supply the FILES used by PPOPN

   ** NOTE:    PROV (the  provider  specific  file)  must  be  created  by  the
               Intermediary. The DRGX file is also  on the installation file. It
               is now memory resident and the file is for reference only.
   ** NOTE:    MSAX is supplied by CMS on the PPS PRICER INSTALLATION FILE.
   ** NOTE:    CBSA is  supplied by  CMS on  the PPS  PRICER INSTALLATION  FILE.

 IV.  Using The FY 2015.4 Prospective Payment Subroutine (PPDRV154)

   IV-3.   GENERAL

   PPDRV is a batch driver program that performs the following:

   1.  Calls the appropriate yearly PPCALculaton Module.
   2.  Passes the necessary data to price the bill.
   3.  Passes the necessary data back to PPOPN and back to PPMGR to print the

       Results.

   IV-4.   USING PPDRV

   The user can execute PPDRV directly by supplying all the arguments needed for
   Pricing.

   ** NOTE:    MSAX is supplied by CMS on the PPS PRICER INSTALLATION FILE.
   ** NOTE:    CBSA is  supplied by  CMS on  the PPS  PRICER INSTALLATION  FILE.
   ** NOTE:    PROV  (the  provider  specific  file)  must  be  created  by  the
               Intermediary. The DRGX file is also  on the installation file. It
               is now memory resident and the file is for reference only.

 V.    PRICER ASSURANCE TESTING USING PPMGR154

   V-1.    GENERAL

   It is  the responsibility  of the  user to  assure that  PRICER is  executing
   properly  at the  user's  site.  PPMGR154 is provided   by  CMS  in  order
   to facilitate that testing.

   Instructions for installing  PPMGR154 and loading the Test Bill and
   Provider Files can be found in Section I.

   PPMGR154 is a batch driver program that performs the following:

   1.  Reads the Test Bill File.

   2.  The DRG is in the test bill.

   3.  Calls "PPOPN154" using OPTION 3 to price a bill.

   4.  Prints the results.

   Your test results can be compared to the Expected Test Results report located
   in  files 16 & 17.  You can also  build your own  test data and  submit it to
   PPMGR154.

   V-2.    USING PPMGR154

       A.  MVS/COBOL II AND MVS/COBOL
           Using PPMGR154 for batch PRICER testing requires three steps:

           1.  Install PRICER as specified in Section II

2. MVS/COBOL II  -- Execute PPMGR154 using the test
     files(see  Figure 5.3 of sample JCL).
                              (OR)
           3.  MVS/COBOL     -- Execute PPMGR154 using the test
                files (see Figure 5.1 of sample JCL).

           4.  Compare  the printed results to  the Expected Test Results (FILES
               #16 & #17)

       If any discrepancies  occur, check  to assure that  the installation  and
       testing instructions were carefully followed.  If so, contact CMS as soon
       as possible.

   V-3.    TESTING USER SUPPLIED DATA USING PPMGR154

       The  Test Bill File may not  contain all probable billing situations that
       an Intermediary  may encounter.  It is  a sound practice for  the user to
       build their own test data for inclusion in the PPMGR154 test.

       The user will be required to build two test files:

           1.  The Test Bill File (see Figure 5.4)

           2.  The  Test  Provider File  (see  Sect.  IV, Fig.  4.6;  the user's
               Provider Specific File is the best source for this data)
