Hi there ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I have for the most part only a physician coding background and have recently cultivated a new interest in Facility/Outpatient coding and I have a question. In reviewing the 2010 CY Addendum A on CMS website I found there are different levels of the same code (ie) I&D codes, Excision/Biopsy, Breast Sugery. I'm curious how one determines which Level in the Group Title section to use so as to assign the correct APC?

This is all so fascinating and new to me. Any suggestions/tips you have that will help broaden my understanding of APC/ASC would be appreciated.
