Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) — Question 141

Under the outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS), status indicator "______" is a payment indicator that refers to "significant procedures for which the multiple procedure reduction applies." This means that the reported CPT and/or HCPCS Level II code will be paid a discounted APC reimbursement rate when reported with other procedures on the same claim.

Answer options

• A. "T"
• B. "X"
• C. "S"
• D. "A"

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is 'C', which indicates the status for significant procedures that incur a multiple procedure reduction. Options 'A' and 'B' represent different status indicators that do not pertain to the multiple procedure reduction, while 'T' is unrelated to significant procedures under OPPS.
