Consider a scenario: Dr Sarah works at a family clinic. Her claims were consistently being underpaid, and she didn\u2019t know why. She discovered, after an audit, that she was marking her place of service incorrectly as hospital-based for her laboratory billing<\/b><\/a> when indeed the services were delivered in her office (POS 11).

The medical billing POS 11 definition sets it apart from hospital codes, an Imaging Center<\/b><\/a>, or telehealth codes. It indicates to payers who are reimbursing for the services that the provider is operating, renting, or leasing space and covering overhead associated with providing those services, and therefore should be compensated at a higher rate than a service billed under facility\/hospital codes.<\/p>\n
