ASC Grouper data

Hi,

I am new to ASC coding & development. I would like to know from where can I get the grouping data b/w CPT® code & APC? I have searched CMS site, but it's providing all fee schedule data and other info, except for the grouper information.

Is this grouper info something that needs to be purchased from a commercial vendor? Please help

ASC Groupers

2007 was the last year for the Medicare groupers, in 2008 Medicare did away with groupers and went to payment indicators. Go to CMS and under ASC look up the archive rates. The groupers are in the 2007 files. Hope this helps you.
