In the 2015 HCPCS Level II Expert manual published by AAPC, there no longer is a list of the "origin and destination codes" to be used with the ambulance transportation services HCPCS codes.
In the 2014 edition, these origin and destination codes were listed just before A0021 in the manual. In the 2015 edition, I can not find them anywhere in the manual.
However, these origin and destination codes are documented by CMS in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 15 - Ambulance, revised 8-14-14:
https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Guidance/Manuals/downloads/clm104c15.pdf
(See Section 30.A. Modifiers Specific to Ambulance Service Claims.) Given this recent document, it appears these codes may still be in use.
Are they still in use, and if so, where they are documented within the HCPCS manual?
Thank you for your help!
