In a Facility setting, such as a hospital, the costs of supplies and personnel that assist with services - such as surgical procedures - are borne by the hospital whereas those same costs are borne by the provider of services in a Non Facility setting.
What is considered a facility?
Facilities are buildings, pieces of equipment, or services that are provided for a particular purpose.
What is a non Facility place of service?
By definition, a “facility” place-of-service is thought of as a hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF) or even an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) (POS codes 21, POS 31 and POS 24, respectively), while “non-facility” is most often associated with the physician's office (POS code 11).
