First off, ER facility coding is not my specialty...
I'm trying to understand some facility codes I'm working with. Instead of the 5 digit CPT codes, these are 7 digit codes. Example: 4000215 with the description of 'ED Level IV', and 2000265 for Head CT Scan w/o Contrast.
Can anyone explain this? Do facilities use different codes than CPT?
Thank you for any input!
