Section 10:52-6.50 - Medical and Surgical Supplies Sold (MSS)

(a) The functions included in the Medical and Surgical Supplies Sold (MSS) cost center are as follows:

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 shall be the cost and revenue associated with supplies furnished to a patient for use after his or her 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 HIM 29 and HIM 11). The costs and revenues associated with such items shall be reported as reconciling items. For the address for obtaining Medicare documents, see 10:52-6.20(b).
