Patients and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service Providers are greatly benefitted by OPPS which is short for Outpatient Prospective Payment System. This system in form of a database is used by CMS to reimburse for hospital outpatient services. This system reduced beneficiary co-payments to a large extent. OPPS was implemented on August 1, 2000 and since then it has been made mandatory for every CMS hospital to have a Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) that provides outpatient services to patients.
