info about CT trauma centers

https://portal.ct.gov/das/sitecore/content/ohs/home/pages/trauma-activation-fee?language=en_US

looks like the real difference between level 1 and level 2 is that
level 1 centers can do microvascular repair + hemodialysis plus
cardiac surgery - also - internal medicine, plastic surgery, oral and
maxillofacial, pediatric, critical care, etc.

every time we read up on this stuff we get a different explanation

in CT - only trauma centers can bill for a "trauma activation fee" -
makes sense - lol - actually have no idea what they are saying here -
Revenue code series 68x can be used only by trauma hospitals
designated by the state or local government. Different subcategory
revenue codes are reported by designated Level 1-4 hospital trauma
hospitals. CMS created G0390, Trauma response team activation
associated with hospital critical care service, effective January 1,
2007, which is assigned to APC 0618, and Critical Care with Trauma
Response.


in CT - level 1 and level 2 centers have a surgeon inhouse 24/7 -
level 3 centers have surgeons on call
