    Wiki Type of service codes for HCPCS

    I am trying to find information on what TOS code to put on my claim form for Q4159. I was only able to find the BETOS. Does each HCPCS code have a specific TOS assigned or I'm thinking that it could be the same TOS as the parent CPT. Would that be correct? Can anyone point me to some resources.
