This file includes more than 53 million claims for services paid under the OPPS, including multiple and single claims.  The  record length is 11,783, blocksize is 32,760.

The OPPS LDS 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 final rule in the Federal Register.
