As Vince Lombardi once said "What the hell is going on around here?".

Scan Health (California dreaming) plans is the only info I can find on this .

Ethan (or Jim Phelps if you are a purist) , if you should accept this mission and you and any of you IMF are caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

Why did my biller not know about this?

How is it that my ACO only told me about this in our thirty second month?

My tie tomorrow wil read " non illigitimum carborundum". The rewards of seventeen years of a Catholic school education.

The way I understand them is that they are simply tracking codes for those involved with managed care, IPAs etc.

We had to learn on our own how to bill for them with some help from the IPA. Most of them are billed with a 0 dollar amount since they aren't for payment. Our PM didn't like 0 so we had to go with .01

These two sites have helped me understand them:

Keep in mind though that your specific ACO will tell you specifically which codes they want reported. Seems strange that they are just now telling you.
