CMS Codes section

The CMS Codes section is where you record Medicare-specific billing codes for the call. Your billing team uses these to file claims with Medicare.

What goes here

Common entries include:

• Service level codes (BLS, ALS-1, ALS-2, SCT).
• Origin and destination modifiers (residence, hospital, scene of accident, etc.).
• Condition codes when the transport was unusual.

If your agency outsources billing, your billing partner usually figures these codes out from the rest of the PCR. You may not need to fill them in by hand.
