REV_CNTR_RDCD_COINSRNC_AMT
For all services subject to Outpatient prospective payment system (PPS or OPPS), the amount of coinsurance applicable to the line for a particular service (as indicated by the HCPCS code) for which the provider has elected to reduce the coinsurance amount.
This field is populated for those claims that are required to process through Outpatient PPS PRICER software. 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.
The reduced coinsurance amount cannot be lower than 20% of the payment rate for the APC line.
