.01icd0;1FREE TEXTBThis is one of the ICD codes reported during the specified month. Modifiers are not included in the analysis.
.02count0;2NUMERICThe COUNT field contains a total count of the ICD disease codes by patient reported during the specified month.
.03unique0;3NUMERICThe UNIQUE field contains a count of the ICD disease codes by unique (capitated) patient. A unique (capitated) visit is one for which no ASP visit is on record for the current fiscal year. This field is important because future budget allocations in VHA will be based on unique visits (i.e., fixed, per capita rates for each patient without regard to the number or nature of services provided). However, it is important to understand that a unique visit for the ASP service may not be unique to the medical center. ASP services may be asked for the proportion of unique patients in the case mix as medical centers and VISNs improve efficiency. The user may compare the total COUNT to the UNIQUE count to determine the case mix.
.04stop code0;4NUMERICThe STOP CODE field contains the stop code (203 for Audiology or 204 for Speech Pathology) associated with each visit. Statistics are reported for one or both clinic stop codes assigned to Audiology and Speech Pathology. All audiology clinics, providers, or activities report into stop code 203. All speech pathology clinics, providers, or activities report into stop code 204.
.05zip code0;5FREE TEXTThe ZIP CODE field contains the patient's zip code. This field is used to calculate the demographic portion of the report. The demographic report is useful in determining service areas and forecasting needs for establishing services, outpatient clinics, community-based clinics, outreach centers, and fee basis sites.
