DESCRIPTION: VA Type of Service Codes are codes that have been created to track "types" of medical services
provided to fee basis patients so that a cost analysis can be completed. With this information we
can compare outpatient VA costs to outpatient fee basis costs for "types" of care provided. When
assigning the VA Type of Service Code we are trying to "group" types of VA outpatient care which is
recorded by outpatient stop code and are reflected in the Cost Distribution Report(CDR). When
uncertain of what fee basis VA Type of Service code to use - determine how you would designate the
care provided if you were recording VA outpatient treatment.
