Is there a reference that defines what each level of ER facility charges are? I'm not talking about E/M ER codes (99281-99285), but the facility level charge. I found this, but I think it's defining levels of Triage:
In general, the triage system has five levels:
Level 1 – Immediate: life threatening
Level 2 – Emergency: could become life threatening
Level 3 – Urgent: not life threatening
Level 4 – Semi-urgent: not life threatening
Level 5 – Non-urgent: needs treatment when time permits.
Does anyone know the definitions for the facility level charge?
Thank you so much!
