ResDAC is currently experiencing a high volume of requests, which may delay response and processing times. We are working to address the backlog as quickly as possible and appreciate your patience.
This variable is contained in the following files:
SAS Name
DMERC_LINE_MTUS_CD
Code indicating the units associated with services needing unit reporting on the line item for the DMERC service.
Source: NCH
| Code | Code value |
|---|---|
| 0 | Values reported as zero |
| 1 | (rarely used) |
| 2 | (rarely used) |
| 3 | Number of services |
| 4 | Oxygen volume units |
| 6 | Drug dosage (valid 2004 and earlier) — since early 1994 this value has incorrectly been placed on DMERC claims. The DMERCs were overriding the MTUS indicator with a "6" if the claim was submitted with an NDC code. NOTE: This problem has been corrected — no date on when the correction became effective. |
