| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
The Type of Visit file (357.69) holds a list of E&M codes (a subset of
CPT codes). Generally a quantity of 1 is all that is allowed for these
codes. There are cases, however, when this quantity should not be limited
to one. Therefore, there needs to be a field that will serve as a flag.
The field being added is the .06 field. It will have a value of 0 if the
quantity is to be restricted to one and a value of 1 if it allows a
quantity of greater than one. Using the flag this way means that current
entries that do not have a value for this flag will default to allowing a
quantity of only 1.
