Procedure Coding Method

Definition: As of Version 2.3, this field has been retained for backward compatibility only. Use the components of PR1-3 - Procedure Code instead of this field.
When used for backward compatibility, PR1-2 - Procedure Coding Method contains the methodology used to assign a code to the procedure (CPT4, for example). If more than one coding method is needed for a single procedure, this field and the associated values in PR1-3 - Procedure Code and PR1-4 - Procedure Description may repeat. In this instance, the three fields (PR1-2 through PR1-4) are directly associated with one another. Refer to User-defined Table 0089 - Procedure Coding Method for suggested values.
