The outpatient services code conversion establishes HIPAA-compliant procedure codes used to reimburse providers for hospital outpatient services such as the use of hospital facilities, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and hotel services. This code conversion also deletes existing local procedure codes and replaces non-HIPAA-compliant Z-codes. The alternative solution includes utilization of revenue codes, CPT® and HCPCS Level II codes and modifiers.
Additional information for this project will publish as details are determined.
