Pharmacy Question for the Week of May 29, 2017

Question:

Are hemophilia clotting factors included in the IPPS rates for hospital inpatients?

Answer:

If a beneficiary is in a covered part A stay in a prospective payment system (PPS) hospital, the clotting factors are paid in addition to the MS-DRG payment. For hospitals subject to OPPS, the clotting factors, when paid under Part B, are paid the ambulatory payment classification (APC) rate.
