The Plan contract says that the Plan covers items and services in accordance with Medicare rules. For purposes 
of payment under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS), the Place of Service (POS) code is generally 
used to reflect the actual setting where the beneficiary receives the face-to-face service. For example, if the 
physicians face-to-face encounter with a patient occurs in the office, the correct POS code on the claim, in 
general, reflects the 2-digit POS code 11 for office. However, there are two exceptions to this general rule  
these are for a service rendered to a patient who is a registered inpatient or an outpatient of a hospital. In these 
cases, the correct POS code - regardless of where the face-to-face service occurs - is that of the appropriate 
inpatient POS code (at a minimum POS code 21) or that of the appropriate outpatient hospital POS code (at a 
minimum POS code 19 or 22, for outpatient services performed off campus or on campus) as discussed in 
section 10.5 of this chapter. So, if in the above example, the patient seen in the physicians office is actually an 
inpatient of the hospital, POS code 21, for inpatient hospital, is correct. You can find this information in the 
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Internet-Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims 
Processing Manual, Chapter 26, Section 10.6.
