Billing

Place of Service (POS)

A two-digit code on insurance claims that identifies where the healthcare service was provided, affecting reimbursement rates.

In Detail

Common POS codes for PT: 11 (office/clinic), 12 (patient home), 02 (telehealth), 22 (outpatient hospital), 31 (skilled nursing facility). The POS code affects reimbursement — hospital-based outpatient PT (POS 22) typically receives higher rates than private practice (POS 11). Incorrect POS codes cause claim denials. PRACTIS automatically assigns the correct POS code based on the appointment location and visit type.
