LOC in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, the level of care determines the type and amount of medical attention a patient needs, from routine outpatient care to intensive inpatient care. Billing codes reflect the level of care provided.
For example, a patient in an intensive care unit (ICU) would have a higher LOC than a patient visiting a primary care doctor for a routine check-up.
