Definition:

Source of Payment Typology III is used to identify the third payer expected to pay a portion of the patient's bill, if applicable.

Source of Payment Typology is a hierarchical code list. It provides a range of codes from broad categories to related sub-categories that are more specific. Report the expected payer using the greatest level of detail without sacrificing accuracy of the information.

Specific attention should be given to types of payment using Managed Care Plans (MCPs). MCPs operate multiple products (HMO and PPO). Medicare (federal) and Medicaid (state) fund different HMO programs/products within the Managed Care Plans companies. In order to determine the appropriate funding, the MCP should advise on the state or federal funding to accurately determine the source of payment.

Codes and Values:

  1. Must be a valid code in accordance with the Source of Payment Typology Codes in Appendix P.
  2. If Source of Payment Typology III is not applicable, it must contain zeroes.
  3. If this field is reported, it must be left justified and space-filled right.
