Definition
That part of a "fixed" (non-temporary, non-deployed) DoD or Coast Guard entity furnishing surgical procedures requiring medically supervised recovery. Similar to a civilian ambulatory surgical center. May be in shared resources with a DoD or Coast Guard Clinic or a DoD Hospital. Does not include items issued directly to a patient from an outpatient pharmacy or patient transport. Includes initial "take home" pharmaceuticals.
Patientary is an informational reference tool built on public data (CMS NPPES and the official ICD-10-CM release). It is not medical, coding, legal or billing advice, and code assignment is the responsibility of a qualified professional. Always verify against the primary source before you bill or file.
