LENGTH : 3 SIGNED : Y
DERIVATIONS :
This field is derived by accumulating the revenue center
unit count associated with accommodation revenue center
code 021x (all six subcategories) from all claim
records included in the stay.
SOURCE : NCH
LIMITATIONS :
There is approximately a 20% error rate in the revenue
center code category 0214 due to coders misunderstanding
the term 'post ccu' as including any day after a ccu
stay rather than just days in a step-down/lower case
version of a ccu. 'Post' was removed from the
revenue center code 0214 description, effective
10/1/96 (12/96 MEDPAR update). 0214 Is now defined
as 'intermediate ccu'.
