  • 25.14 — Service Frequency Code
  • 25.15 — Service Duration

Read the two fields as a sentence

Service Duration is the number of minutes per session. Service Frequency Code supplies the period—such as the applicable day, week, month, or year frequency represented by the current code set. Neither field should be interpreted alone.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Open the operative plan

    Locate the service statement controlling the submitted Plan Effective Start Date.

  2. 2

    Translate the schedule carefully

    Separate minutes per session from how often sessions occur; do not derive a value from billing totals or attendance logs unless it represents the plan.

  3. 3

    Format the duration

    Submit four numeric characters, such as 0030 for 30 minutes per session.

  4. 4

    Correct the source record or export

    Ensure frequency and duration are mapped as a paired schedule rather than independently optional fields.

  5. 5

    Verify companion rules

    Confirm SERV0329 clears without triggering FRMT0004, SERV0330, or SERV0577.
