A moment of your time please for a quick survey -
I am looking at the CPT information from The American Medical Association
with subcategory codes listed as mentioned below:
680 - not used
681 - Level I
682 - Level II
683 - Level III
684 - Level IV
689 - Other trauma response
Would you mind sharing how you are interpreting the "Level" in this code? I
have heard it two ways -
* one is the "Level" is the Level of your Trauma Center
* second is that "Level" refers to the level of care the patient
received depending upon severity
Thank you
Robynn
