Which TOB corresponds to hospital outpatient services?

• A. 0131
• B. 0111
• C. 0222
• D. 0313

Answer: (A)

Type of Bill (TOB) codes show how a claim is billed, with the first digits indicating the general category and the later digits specifying the exact billing scenario. Hospital outpatient services are identified by the 013x family, which is designated for outpatient encounters in a hospital setting. The specific code 0131 falls within that family and is used for standard hospital outpatient services. The other codes belong to different TOB families that cover inpatient or other non-outpatient settings, so they do not represent hospital outpatient services.
