APC
The Ambulatory Payment Classification conversion map uses the quarterly Addendum A updates available from CMS. These updates are in tab-delimited format. For more information about this code list, see the External Code Source section of Washington Publishing HIPAA 005010 Implementation Guide.
Input
The input format is variable-length-delimited. There are eight columns.
Output
SENDER/RECEIVER ID - APC Group Number
TEXT1 - APC Group Title
Notes
Since some of the records leave off the last tab when the Indicates Change column is not present, a Group and TempRecord combination is used to populate the code list.
