A0328 AND AO330 CONVERT FROM THE <br />OLD ALS CODE FOR PRICING. AO322 CONVERTS FROM THE OLD BLS CODING. FOR EACH <br />OF THESE THREE CODES, REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE THE SAME AS LAST YEAR. THESE <br />THREE CODES ONLY REPRESENTS ABOUT 30% OF OUR FILING. THE OTHER THREE CODES <br />WE ARE FORCED TO USE MUST BE ESTABLISHED AND PRICING SET. IF WE CHARGE THE <br />SAME PRICE AS LAST YEAR ($185) OUR REIMBURSEMENT WILL DROP FROM $163.64 TO <br />$ 96.46 PER CALL FOR A0324 AND TO $107.07 PER CALL FOR AO326. FOR CODE A0320 <br />WE WILL DROP FROM $105.58 TO $96.46 PER CALL. SINCE A VERY FEW CALLS ARE RUN <br />IN AO320, THE LOSS WILL NOT BE SUBSTANTIAL, BUT IN THE CODES A0324 AND A0326 <br />WE WILL LOSE APPROXIMATELY $61.00 PER CALL. CONSIDERING MOST OF OUR TYPES OF <br />CALLS WILL FALL INTO THESE TWO CODES, THE COUNTY WILL LOSE APPROXIMATELY <br />$125,000 IN REIMBURSEMENTS FROM MEDICARE IN CALENDAR YEAR 1995. IN ORDER TO <br />RE-COUP SOME OF THESE COSTS AND ESTABLISH RATES FOR NEXT YEAR FOR MEDICARE <br />REIMBURSEMENTS WE MUST HAVE A RATE INCREASE. <br /> <br /> <br />
