Hospital (service location) Number and Classification

When billing it is required that you specify the location at which the service was provided. You may notice that the each location has a 4-digit number associated with it as well as a 2-letter classification. It may be confusing if you see multiple listings for the same location, each with a different number/classification. The correct location can be chosen based on the classification. An example of some locations with number and classification are shown in the figure below.

The meaning of the different 2-letter classifications are given below and can also be found here on pg. 5.
