Visit codes are especially important if providing services that do not require copay (i.e., for a pregnant recipient or long term care resident.) For a complete listing and description of Attachment Type Codes, please refer to the  CMS- 1500 Claim Form Desk Reference, located in Appendix A of the handbook. Note: When billing for mileage, it is not necessary to enter a visit code, as the Department does not assess a copayment on mileage charges.
