Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System
What is a HCPCS Code?
HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) codes are used to identify medical procedures, supplies, and services for billing purposes. These codes help standardize how healthcare services are reported and billed across different providers and insurance companies.
Detailed Description
This code indicates that medical staff documented that you did not experience any of the following safety events during your stay at a healthcare facility: burns before being discharged, falls within the facility, wrong site/side/patient/procedure/implant events, or the need for hospital transfer or hospital admission when leaving the facility. This is a quality measure code used to track patient safety outcomes.
Additional Information
This is a reporting code used for quality measurement purposes, not a billable service. It documents the absence of specific safety events during a facility stay.
