I'm sure this issue has been encountered, discussed and resolved many times over by this time, so I'm anticipating that someone will be able to just point me in the right direction.
There are several code sets commonly used for payment purposes and used by CMS as well to determine payment such as ASC, CMG, IRF, RUG, etc.. Many providers are instructed to bill using these "Payment" or "Procedure Grouping" codes. Are these code sets considered to be medical or non-medical code sets and how are other organizations handling these type of codes in an 837 and/or an 835 if they cannot be sent as a procedure code?
