The long and winding road of medical billing and the GD0 record is starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. If you've been with us this far, hang in there just a little longer. We're picking up our review of this generic CMN with field number 41.

GD0 fields 41 - 44, positions 160 - 179, are the diagnosis codes. Many people don't understand why diagnosis codes are required for a CMN since these codes are transmitted in the FA0 record.

To understand this, a brief example is required.

Let's say a patient is billing a carrier for a procedure involving surgery for a broken leg. The diagnosis codes for the surgery will be specific for the surgery itself.

GD0 field 48, position 197, is the respiratory tract indicator. This field tells the carrier if the patient has mobilizing respiratory tract secretions. If so, this field is transmitted with a Y. If not, this field is transmitted with an N.

GD0 field 49, position 198, is the equipment supervision indicator. This field tells the carrier if the patient is using the equipment that the CMN is for with or without supervision. If with supervision, the field is transmitted with a Y. If without supervision, the field is transmitted with an N. This field is very important because with certain equipment and under certain conditions, if the patient is not supervised and something should happen directly related to the operation of the equipment, there is a good possibility that the accident will not be covered by insurance.

GD0 field 50, position 199, is the propel/lift wheelchair indicator. This tells the carrier if the patient is unable to propel or lift a standard wheelchair. This needs to be sent for patients who are given motorized wheelchairs, which is typically what these CMNs are for. A Y entry means the patient is not able to operate a standard wheelchair.

In our next installment of medical billing, we'll continue our review of the GD0 record with field number 51.
