Question

If the code in FL14 (Type of Admission or Visit) is 4 (newborn), what Point of Origin for Admission or Visit code would be entered if the newborn was born outside of the hospital submitting the claim:

a. 1
b. 4
c. 6
d. 9

Answer 1

The Point of Origin for Admission or Visit code that would be entered if the newborn was born outside of the hospital submitting the claim is b. 4 (Born inside this hospital).

Step-by-step explanation:

If the code in FL14 (Type of Admission or Visit) is 4 (newborn), the Point of Origin for Admission or Visit code that would be entered if the newborn was born outside of the hospital submitting the claim would be b. 4 (Born inside this hospital).

Point of Origin for Admission or Visit code 4 is used for newborns who are born inside the hospital submitting the claim. This code indicates that the newborn was born in the same hospital where the claim is being submitted.

If the newborn was born outside of the hospital, a different code, such as 1 (Born in hospital but transferred to this facility) or 9 (Not applicable), would be used to indicate the specific point of origin or the fact that the point of origin is not applicable.
