Solventum™ Grouper Plus Content Services (GPCS)
For many years, third party software vendors, payers, consultants and analytics companies worldwide have embedded Solventum regulatory content within their own applications. This approach gives clients integrated access to this valuable content and allows them to analyze and report on data for their own customers.
To support businesses faced with intense IT resource pressures and time constraints, Solventum can deliver our rich regulatory and proprietary content through web services, industry standard interfaces and a cloud environment. Solventum™ Grouper Plus Content Services (GPCS) leverages web technology to deliver content with greater timeliness and less maintenance than on-premises systems. Solventum GPCS provides up to date, secure access to grouping, reimbursement, editing and pay-for-outcomes classifications. The content can be viewed from many different workflows.

Available content
Healthcare is a dynamic industry with frequent regulatory changes, and we continuously update our grouping, editing, reimbursement and population health content. Explore the accordions below to discover content application options for Solventum GPCS that enable you to access the necessary data to support value-based care.
These applications contain the necessary tables and logic to accurately classify inpatient and outpatient services. Solventum GPCS can be licensed with a single clinical classification methodology or a combination to meet your needs.
- Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) and Medicare-severity Diagnosis Related Groups (MS-DRGs) can classify claims for Medicare patients of acute care hospitals and long-term care hospitals
- Medicare Ambulatory Payment Classifications (APCs) can group items and services provided by hospital outpatient departments for payment under the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS)
- Medicare Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) can classify SNF services under the prospective payment system (PPS)
- Medicare Home Health can classify home health services
- TRICARE DRGs includes additional DRGs not related to the Medicare population for services provided to TRICARE beneficiaries at acute care hospitals or long-term care hospitals
- TRICARE APCs includes additional DRGs not related to the Medicare population for services provided to TRICARE beneficiaries in hospital outpatient departments
- Solventum™ All Patient Refined Diagnosis Related Groups (APR DRGs) Classification System can classify all patient populations treated in the inpatient setting (including sick and healthy newborns, pediatrics and obstetrics) using four levels of severity of illness and risk of mortality
- Solventum™ Enhanced Ambulatory Patient Groups (EAPGs) Classification System can classify all patient populations treated in outpatient care settings (including the emergency department, other hospital outpatient departments, ambulatory surgical centers and other diagnostic and treatment clinics) using visits, not individual services, for analysis
It’s always better to get a second set of eyes to double check data. Our editing applications play that role for patient records, helping to validate appropriate use of ICD-10 codes, present on admission (POA) indicators, medical necessity edits and more.
Inpatient edits:
- CMS Medicare Code Editor (MCE), automatically included with Solventum’s inpatient groupers, helps validate the appropriate use of ICD-10 diagnosis and procedure codes.
- Solventum POA editor, automatically included with Solventum’s inpatient groupers, helps verify that POA indicators are appropriate for the ICD-10 code being reported.
- Solventum solutions for medical necessity edits can be licensed as an add-on to Solventum GPCS to review the validity of Medicare national coverage determinations (NCDs), local coverage determinations (LCDs) and frequency, age and gender restrictions; ICD-10 diagnosis codes and modifiers; and other state Medicaid and payer specific edits.
Outpatient edits:
- Solventum versions of the Medicare APC and TRICARE APC grouper applications automatically include:
- National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits
- Medically Unlikely Edits (MUEs)
- Medicare/TRICARE Outpatient Code Editor (OCE)
- Robust suite of proprietary edits to identify potential lost revenue, provide clarity to OCE edits and address areas that CMS examines, but which are not addressed in the public domain grouper
- Solventum’s Medicare solutions for ambulatory surgical centers, renal dialysis facilities, professional claims, home health and hospice automatically include:
- NCCI edits
- MUEs
- Robust suite of proprietary edits to ensure correct coding and billing, and identify potential lost revenue
- Solventum EAPG automatically includes:
- NCCI edits
- MUEs
- Suite of edits designed to ensure correct coding and billing, and identify potential lost revenue
Surprises can be fun, but not when it comes to reimbursement. Our software calculates expected reimbursement using predefined logic and custom rate schedules, with you defining the parameters (e.g., hospital values, statistics files and other reimbursement variables) that will govern payment processing of claims.
The reimbursement schemes in the table below can be licensed in the U.S. for Solventum GPCS. Find options for commercial, TRICARE, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. You have the option of licensing the add-on Solventum™ Pricer Tables, which provide facility-specific variables for all applicable hospitals for calculating reimbursement for multiple providers.
