Other Inpatient Hospital Medicare Payments

This variable is the sum of the Medicare claim payment amounts (CLM_PMT_AMT from each claim) in the other inpatient (OIP) settings for a given year. To obtain the total OIP Medicare payments, take this variable and add in the annual per diem payment amount (OIP_MDCR_PMT + OIP_PERDIEM_AMT).

Other Inpatient Hospital Pass-thru Per Diem Payments

This variable is the sum of all the pass through per diem payment amounts (CLM_PASS_THRU_PER_DIEM_AMT from each claim) in the other inpatient (OIP) setting for the year. Medicare payments are designed to include certain "pass-through" expenses such as capital-related costs, direct medical education costs, kidney acquisition costs for hospitals that are renal transplant centers, and bad debts. This variable is the sum of all the daily payments for pass-through expenses. It is not included in the Medicare Payment amount (OIP_MDCR_PMT). To determine the total Medicare payments for other (non-acute) hospitalizations for the beneficiary, this field must be added to the total Medicare payment amount for other hospitalizations.

Other Inpatient Hospital Primary Payer Amount

The CLM_THRU_DT for the first claim associated with the stay must have been in the year of the data file. Stays that cross-over into another calendar year would only appear in the year when the stay ended (e.g., a stay that began in 2018 but ended in 2019 would only be counted as a stay in the 2019 file).
