We have an urgent care center, (2 bed center with full bay, crash cart, Xray etc) that is not a free standing facility. It located inside of our Pain clinic. The bays are only used for urgent care patients who do not have scheduled appointments. My dilemma, is which POS goes on my claim? 20 or 11?
My urgent care is licensed as an urgent care and claims are all billed with a separate tax ID and NPI and in fact is it's own entity from our pain clinic. But the POS 20 descriptor states:
"POS: 20, Urgent Care Facility: Location, distinct from a hospital emergency room, an office, or a clinic, whose purpose is to diagnose and treat illness or injury for unscheduled, ambulatory patients seeking immediate medical attention. "
It is the distinct part, that i am getting hung up on, any thoughts?
Thank you in advance!!!
