1 CY2015 Hospital Outpatient: Endovascular Procedure APCs Complexity Adjustments Comprehensive Ambulatory Payment Classifications (c-apcs) CMS finalized the implementation of 25 Comprehensive APC to further efforts to pay providers for quality, not quantity of care. A comprehensive APC (c-apc) packages payments for services supplies rather than providing separate multiple payments for each individual service. In CY2015, c-apcs will provide a single all-inclusive payment for the primary service with no additional reimbursement for additional adjunctive services supplies used during the delivery of the primary service. As part of its c-apc system, CMS created 12 clinical families (for example vascular) to reflect clinical homogeneity resource utilization identification of c-apcs. In the table below are the three vascular family c-apcs. c-apc National Average Payment 0083 Level I Endovascular Procedures $4, Level II Endovascular Procedures $9, Level III Endovascular Procedures $14,841 Complexity Adjustments To ensure appropriate accounting of all resources, CMS is also applying complexity criteria for multiple procedure combinations on the same date of service to allow for mapping to a higher APC within that clinical family of procedures. Code combinations are pairs of HCPCS. The highest payment for the family is the top level of the family of APCs. For the vascular family, APC 0319 Level III Endovascular Procedures is the highest level of payment. Outlined in this document include the following: List of HCPCS\ for the base Level I APC 0083, Level II APC 0229, Level III APC 0319 (CMS Addendum C*) List of HCPCS\ pairs for complexity adjustment from APC 0083 to APC 0229 or APC 0229 to APC 0319 (CMS Addendum J*) Disclaimers Health economic reimbursement information provided by Boston Scientific Corporation is gathered from third-party sources is subject to change without notice as a result of complex frequently changing laws, regulations, rules policies.
