If you read our last installment on medical billing, you probably noticed that it took an entire installment just to cover field number 62 of the GU0 record. If this surprised you, it shouldn't. The GU0 record is probably the most complicated CMN transmitted to a carrier of all the CMNs. In this installment we're going to try to get past one field, but don't hold your breath. We continue with field number 63.
GU0 field 63, positions 270 - 273, is Reply NUM L04 N02. This field is the reply to the second question on any DMERC certification requiring a four position numeric response. The following forms are supported for this field. For forms 01 and 08, the valid responses are 0000 - 9999. For form 10, the valid responses are 0000 - 0999. For form 04, the valid responses are 0001 - 0099. Forms 05 and 09 are reserved for future use.
Form 01 is the maximum length in centimeters of the ulcer. Form 04 is the number of months prior to getting the device that the patient had fusion, other than spinal fusion. Form 08 is the number if times per day the patient receives drug infusion. Form 10 is the grams of protein per day.
