Home Forums Discussions Problems Place of Service!

Ok, so our billing staff tells me they need Amazing Charts to use "Place of Service" code 32 instead of 31 in AC, however I cannot figure out any way to edit this. They would also like AC to populate box 32a on the HCFA/CMS1500 form with the nursing home's information. One of our docs travels to the nursing home to see patients. Is there any way to accomplish this?

When you sign off a note and get to the coding screen, you can change the place of service code. I think it defaults to the office setting.

Right, but what I has hoping for was a setting to change the location code to 32 from 31, which is the code for the Nursing Home drop-down selection gives. It would be very time consuming to change that box manually on every HCFA form before printing, since as far as I can tell that is the only way to get it to put 32 there.

You can simply type 32 in the POS drop down box. I double checked and it does show up on the HCFA form in the proper location

I tried that and it worked. Thank you. I guess what I was hoping for would go into the Wish section, as I wish that there was a way to add facilities to the POS drop-down box and have the info fill in correctly on the HCFA/CMS1500 form.

Oh, I agree, it would be nice to make it a bit more automatic, but this will be easier than you were contemplating.


You might send a wish/bug report to AC. Who knows, it may be a simple change in coding. Then again,....
