Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 8:31B-4.92 - Medical and Surgical Supplies Sold (MSS)

(a) Function:

1. The Medical and Surgical Supplies Sold center is used for the accumulation of the invoice cost and revenue of all medical and surgical supplies and equipment sold or rented directly to patients. The invoice/inventory cost of non-charged supplies and equipment issued by the Central Supply Service center to other centers shall be transferred to the using centers, preferably on a monthly basis. If such items are sold in other hospital centers, the cost and revenue of those items must be transferred to this center. The overhead cost of preparing and issuing medical and surgical supplies and equipment sold or rented directly to patients must be accumulated in the Central Supply Services center.

2. Excluded from this center are the cost and revenue associated with supplies furnished to a patient for use after his episode of hospital care (except for those items where it would be medically unreasonable to limit the patient's use to the episode of hospital care, for example, pacemakers, permanent prostheses, etc., and take-home Dialysis and Home Health Agency supplies included per Medicare Provider Reimbursement Manual, Publication 15, Part II, Chapter 36, Hospital and Hospital Heath Care Complex Cost Report, incorporated herein by reference and available at www.CMS.hhs.gov/manuals/cmsindex.asp.) Rather, the costs and revenues associated with such items are to be reported as reconciliations per instructions in N.J.A.C. 8:31B-4.
