This field is derived by accumulating the value amount associated with value code = 18 that is present on any of the claim records included in the stay (i.e., the sum of value code 18 amounts reported on the claims that comprise the stay).
This amount is already included in the MEDPAR Medicare payment amount (field called PMT_AMT).
