OPCS-4 CODE is the OPCS Classification of Interventions and Procedures (OPCS-4) code which is used to identify the CODED CLINICAL ENTRY.

Notes:

• Where a Patient Procedure is carried out and required for reporting using the OPCS-4 classification, every effort must be made to report the appropriate OPCS-4 code in the Out-Patient Attendance Commissioning Data Set.
• Where providers locally use OPCS-4 codes with a fifth character added, this should be removed before inclusion in the Commissioning Data Set.
