    (a) CMS estimates the aggregate amount that would be payable for

covered hospital outpatient services without regard to the outpatient 
prospective payment system described in this part; and
    (2) The total amounts of coinsurance that would be payable by 
beneficiaries to hospitals for covered hospital outpatient services 
without regard to the outpatient prospective payment system described in 
this part.
    (b) The estimated aggregate amount under paragraph (a) of this

1833(b) of the Act did not apply.
