What does the Administrative, Miscellaneous, and Investigational section of HCPCS Level II codes NOT include?

The Administrative, Miscellaneous, and Investigational section of HCPCS Level II codes does not include ancillary transportation-related fees. This section primarily covers items and services that are not classified elsewhere, focusing on things like drugs, medical supplies, and various types of administrative services.

Medications, supplies, and diagnostic tests all fall under this category as they are integral to patient care and treatment. Medications can include various drugs used for treatment, supplies encompass items needed for medical procedures, and diagnostic tests involve codes related to procedures used to determine a patient's condition or illness. Ancillary transportation-related fees, however, are typically categorized in a different section, as they refer specifically to the costs associated with transporting patients rather than items or services integral to direct medical care. Thus, the focus of the given section does not extend to those transport-related fees.
