Wiki Patients reason for visit


FL70A – 70C - Patient’s Reason for Visit
Situational. It is required for Medicare institutional claims processing on Type of Bill 013x and 085x when:
a) Form Locator 14 (Priority (Type) of Admission or Visit) codes 1, 2, or 5 are reported; and
b) Revenue Codes 045x, 0516, or 0762 are reported.

I'm assuming based on these payers that wont pay for ER for non ER conditions it will be important to indicate that chest pain was reason for visit when final dx turns out to be acid reflux
