 DERIVATIONS :
 This field is derived by accumulating the revenue center
 unit count associated with accommodation revenue center
 codes 020X (all 9 subcategories) from all claims
 included in the stay.
  
 SOURCE         : NCH
  
 LIMITATIONS :
 There is approximately a 20% error rate in the revenue
 center code category 0206 due to coders misunderstanding
 the term 'post ICU' as including any day after an ICU
 stay rather than just days in a step-down/lower case
 version of an ICU.  'Post' was removed from the
 revenue center code 0206 description, effective
 10/1/96 (12/96 MEDPAR update).  0206 Is now defined
 as 'intermediate ICU'.
