All available CMS Type of Service codes used to identify the specific category of healthcare services provided by a healthcare provider
CMS Type of Service (TOS) codes are a set of codes used to identify the specific category of healthcare services provided by a healthcare provider. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) developed these codes to help standardize the billing process and ensure accurate payment for services rendered. TOS codes are used in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers.
Each TOS code represents a specific type of healthcare service, such as diagnostic testing, surgical procedures, or durable medical equipment. These codes are used by healthcare providers and billing departments to report services provided to insurance companies, Medicare, and Medicaid. Accurate use of TOS codes is essential for proper reimbursement and compliance with regulations.
