@theashezgroup: 📍 Place of Service (POS) Codes — The Tiny Numbers That Control Your Payment Most billing errors don’t come from CPT or ICD-10… They come from using the wrong POS code — and payers deny instantly when the setting doesn’t match the service. 💡 What Are POS Codes? POS tells the payer where the patient was located when the service was delivered. Different locations = different payer rules, coverage, and reimbursement. 🏥 The Most Important POS Codes to Get Right 11 – Office 02 – Telehealth (Real-Time) 10 – Telehealth (Patient at Home) 12 – Home Visit 19/22 – Outpatient Hospital 21 – Inpatient Hospital 31 – Skilled Nursing Facility 32 – Nursing Facility ⚠️ Why POS Mistakes Cause Instant Denials Using the wrong POS leads to: ❌ Telehealth claims denied as in-person ❌ Incorrect reimbursement amounts ❌ Payer system edits blocking the claim ❌ Audit triggers ❌ “Invalid service location” denial messages ✔️ Pro Tip The correct POS depends on where the patient is — NOT where the provider is sitting. This is the #1 POS error across telehealth and mental health billing. At The Ashez Group, we verify POS accuracy on every claim to ensure compliance and prevent avoidable denials. 📞 844-824-4040 | 🌐 theashezgroup.com ✨ Correct POS = Correct Payment.
