8.8.6 LCC - location charge code segment

The optional LCC segment identifies how a patient location room can be billed by a certain department. A department can use different charge codes for the same room or bed, so there can be multiple LCC segments following an LDP segment.

8.8.6.1 Primary key value - LCC (PL) 00979

Components: <point of care (IS)> ^ <room (IS)> ^ <bed (IS)> ^ <facility (HD)> ^ <location status (IS)> ^ <person location type (IS)> ^ <building (IS)> ^ <floor (IS)> ^ <location description (ST)>

Definition: This field contains the institution’s identification code for the location. The identifying key value. This field has the same components as the patient location fields in the PV1 segment (except that bed status is not included here). At least the first component of this field is required. The contents of this field must exactly match the content of its preceding MFE ( MFE-4-primary key value), its preceding LOC (LOC-1-LOC primary key value), and its preceding LDP (LDP-1-LDP primary key value).

8.8.6.2 Location department (ID) 00964

Definition: This field contains the institution’s department to which this location belongs, or its cost center. It must match the value in its preceding LDP (LDP-2-location department). Refer to user-defined table 0264 -Location department for suggested values.

8.8.6.3 Accommodation type (CE) 00980

Components: <identifier (ST)> ^ <text (ST)> ^ <name of coding system (ST)> ^ <alternate identifier (ST)> ^ <alternate text (ST)> ^ <name of alternate coding system (ST)>

Definition: This field contains the financial accommodation type of the bed or room which implies the rate to be used when occupied by a patient under specific medical conditions, which determines how it is billed. Not the same as specialty type. Used for general ledger categories. Specialty type is a physical accommodation type, whereas this field is a financial accommodation type. Repeating coded value. Site defined codes.

8.8.6.4 Charge code (CE) 00981

Components: <identifier (ST)> ^ <text (ST)> ^ <name of coding system (ST)> ^ <alternate identifier (ST)> ^ <alternate text (ST)> ^ <name of alternate coding system (ST)>

Definition: This field contains the repeating coded entry for codes identifying how the use of this location is to be charged. For cross-referencing beds master files with the charge master files, or for generating charges when a patient is assigned to a bed. These should be the same set of values used in FT1-7-transaction code. Values are site negotiated. Refer to user-defined table 0132 - Transaction code for suggested values.
