2552-10, Worksheet C, Part I, Column 9 by the Medicare outpatient charges for that cost
center (and subscripts thereof) from Worksheet D, Part V, Columns 2, 3, and 4,. Sum the
costs calculated for each cost center to arrive at Medicare outpatient cost of services
subject to OPPS.
Step 2 - Determining Overall Charges: Calculate charges by summing the Medicare
outpatient charges from Form CMS 2552-10, Worksheet D, Part V, Columns 2, 3, and 4,
(and for each cost center (and subscripts thereof) that reflect services subject to the
