ER visit for contractions admitted and delivered same day – Physician
Thanks for any help
Nurs practitioner sent pt to ER/supervising doc admitted
Thanks for any input on this.
ER visit that spans midnight and pt is admitted
Er visit that spans midnight then admitted to obs
Admitted a day after consult
Our Doctor saw a patient in the hospital for a stroke evaluation. The evaluation was done on 1/16/18, but admission date is 1/17/18. Our doctor wanted to bill 99222. This is incorrect as the pt was not admitted as of yet. So, we should file as POS 22, with appropriate outpatient E/M code. Correct? We saw the patient on 1/17/18 and 1/18/18, those were filed as 99232.
Thanks!
ICD10 coding when a pt is admitted to the hospital-but billed by a private physician
i work in a group practise doctors office. we also have doctors that we bill for, that see pts in the hospital/ER.
Our hospitalist admit pts, do subsequent visits and discharge pts. We were having a discussion on the ICD10 coding though.
if a pt is admitted to the hospital and our doctor is in charge of their care, would the ICD10 coding be based on InPatient? (meaning you CAN code "probable, possible, looks like") or because we are billing for a Hospitalist (but still coding 99221-99239 for inpatient CPTs), is the ICD10 coding considered Outpatient coding? (meaning that you CANNOT code "possible, probable" etc)?
i really need an answer/opinion on this; please help.
thank you
Billing for Professional fees when patients are admitted but still in the ED
I have an issues with a carrier telling me that I need to use (E/M) CPT codes based upon the patient’s admission statue. For example, if the patient is an inpatient, I should use inpatient E/M codes. While I understand this, I sometimes have situations where the patient is still located in the Emergency Department due to bed availability. I always thought that you have to chose codes based upon the physical location where the face to face services took place. The insurance carrier actually quoted CMS policy that stated codes should be used based upon the patient’s admission status regardless as to where the face to face encounter occurred. Does anyone have any insight into this????? Thanks!
