What is ER Visit (level 2)? Read the full explainer →

ER Visit (level 2)

This is not a test or a treatment — it is the charge for the emergency department visit itself. ER visits are graded on five levels, and level 2 is near the low end, used when the medical decision making involved was straightforward. The level is assigned after the visit, based on what the clinician had to weigh up.
