I'm trying to understand the business issues around the 278 transaction and have a question regarding the 2000F:UM01 Request Category Code. Does a value of "AR" (Admission Review) in this request category code imply an inpatient stay at a facility? In other words is an "admission" defined as checking in to a facility for inpatient stay, or can "AR" be used for outpatient services at a faciltiy .. an outpatient admission per se? Also, would you ever see a request category code of "AR" in a service loop(2000F) under a physician, or do you always use a value of "HS" (Health Services Review) for services performed by a physician regardless of where/how the services are performed? Thanks in advance for your help.
