When billing A0998 the 5010 specs require a transport reason code,
A Patient was transported to nearest facility for care of symptoms, complaints, or both618 Can be used to indicate that the patient was transferred to a residential facility.
B Patient was transported for the benefit of a preferred physician
C Patient was transported for the nearness of family members
D Patient was transported for the care of a specialist or for availability of specialized equipment
E Patient Transferred to Rehabilitation Facility
none of these make sense to me, what are billers doing to get this past the edits?
