This change request adds a new place of service (POS) code for walkin retail health clinics. This Change Request (CR) will update the current POS code set to add a new code: 17 Walkin Retail Health Clinic.
The code?s description is as follows: ?a walkin health clinic, other than an office, urgent care facility, pharmacy or independent clinic and not described by any other Place of Service code, that is located within a retail operation and provides, on an ambulatory basis, preventive and primary care services.?
This new code was established because industry entities other than Medicare identified a need to track the suppliers and settings of immunizations in greater detail than afforded through the current POS code set; these entities specifically wished to capture the walkin retail health clinic, which they believe will be a common setting for immunizations.
