Your Current Source for All APC Information

 
Let's face it – the Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) is complex, cumbersome and confusing – and not going away! And with the rules changes every quarter, coding and reimbursement processes can be more painful than they have to be.

APC Assistant, from Ingenix, can help.
 
Developed in conjunction with the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA), APC Assistant is a comprehensive, Web-based resource containing all the latest APC regulatory information so you can successfully navigate your way through the OPPS.

APC Assistant can replace expensive and cumbersome books and references, and is an invaluable tool for both providers and payers alike.
