This field, in combination with the service classification type code (variable called CLM_SRVC_CLSFCTN_TYPE_CD) indicates the “type of bill” for an institutional claim.

The type of bill is the concatenation of two variables: -facility type (CLM_FAC_TYPE_CD) -service classification type (CLM_SRVC_CLSFCTN_TYPE_CD).
