NOTICE:  Please note that as of April 2009, the OPPS Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) Identifiable Data Set (IDS) is now considered a Limited Data Set (LDS).  The former identifiable version of the file is now the only version available.  The record layout below lists the data elements included on the new LDS, which are the same elements included in prior year versions of the IDS.  This 2008 file has every element that was contained in the 2007 LDS and the 2007 IDS.  Requestors should follow the link for Instructions on How to Request LDS Data Files below to obtain this file.

This file contains select claim level data and is derived from 2008 claims for partial hospitalization program (PHP) services, with dates of service from January 1, 2008 - December 31, 2008 that were received, processed, and paid through June 30, 2009. This file includes 382,531 records for PHP services furnished by hospitals and community mental health centers (CMHCs) paid under the OPPS. This is a flat file.  The LDS record length is 9977, blocksize is 32,760.

The OPPS PHP file will be available twice a year, once for the NPRM in late spring/early summer, and again for the final rule within a month of publication of the OPPS PHP final rule in the Federal Register.
