HELP, can someone please explain the difference between Place of Service 19 and Place of Service 22?
This is so confusing to understand, the CPT Place-of Service Codes for Professional Claims does not really help.

Thanks.
 
POS 19 is for outpatient services rendered away from the campus of the hospital - a satellite imaging facility across town, for example. POS 22 is for outpatient services rendered on the campus of the hospital - example being an outpatient imaging facility which is not in the main hospital building itself but is on the same piece of property as the hospital.

I have attached a link to the CMS code descriptions.

Have a great day!
