SUBJECT: Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) Pricer System
         Release, Version 201811
(December 08, 2017)  --ACTION--refer to CMS change request
          CR #10417

This OPPS Pricer release is the updated version and is designed for
implementation in conjunction with the January 2018 OCE/APC V19.0
lines in the shared claims payment systems on or about 01Jan2018.

** NOTE: As of 12/08/2017, CMS has not tested the January 2018 IOCE.
         This Pricer is designed to use output from the January 2018
         IOCE.  CMS will complete testing of this Pricer prior to the
         January 2018 IOCE implementation. If that testing reveals need
         logic changes, CMS will release a new version of the OPPSCAL
         member as soon as possible.



Version 2018.1.1 includes the following updates:
-----------------------------------------------
 - Updated W-STORAGE-REF
 - Updated Tables:
         - BASEAPCS & OPPSAPCS

 - Updated this README and the MANIFEST members for this release.



A partitioned data set (PDS) of the code
(MU00.@BF12390.OPPS.V201811.COBOL) is at the CMS Data Center for users
to obtain by Connect:Direct (Network DataMover).

The 31 members listed below comprise the Pricer, but only the modules
that changed since the previous release are included in the PDS.
