Comments

This amount does not include any applicable outlier payment amount.

This field is derived by accumulating the amount field (CLM_SSO_STD_PMT_AMT) that is on any of the claim records included in the stay (i.e., sum of the CLM_SSO_STD_PMT_AMT reported on the claims that comprised the stay).

This field is new in 2015.
