Department of Defense, Office of the Secretary: TRICARE; Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS)

Abstract

DOD performed a cost-benefit analysis of the final rule. DOD estimates, for example, that in the April 2009 March 2010 period, payments to hospitals for their outpatient facility charges will decrease by 25 percent under the OPPS compared to the pre-OPPS payments. DOD also estimates that the total reduction under the OPPS for its first year of implementation from revenue in the same period without the proposed OPPS changes to be approximately $460 million.
