Guide for use: | CODE 1 Yes This code indicates care that has been provided to two or more patients by the same health-care provider(s) at the same time (including via telehealth). A group must have two or more persons attending in the capacity of patients in their own right. One service event is recorded for each patient who attends a group session. Spouses, parents or carers attending the session are counted for the group session only if they are also participating in the service as a patient (see definition of a service event). A group session may be delivered by more than one provider. This may be multidisciplinary care within one clinic appointment as part of a group, e.g. a group session jointly delivered by a physiotherapist and an occupational therapist. In practice, this should be interpreted to mean that patients are receiving precisely the same services. For example:
CODE 2 No This code indicates that care was delivered to the patient as an individual (including via telehealth). An individual service event is provided to one person by one or more health-care providers. For example:
