“Other outpatient services”

I work for a cardiologist who is on staff at a local hospital. He was consulted by an ED physician to see a patient who was on observation status. We billed for the consult and next day visit with observation codes but received a denial from Medicare. Another biller in the office called Medicare and they told her that we could bill 99215 (office visit code) for the consult and subsequent visit for POS: 22.
Myself and my supervisor have never heard of this being done. Medicare actually paid the claim :eek:. Has anyone else billed any 99201-99215 codes for patients seen in the hospital on observation status?

How is this should be coded? (OB/GYN OUTPATIENT)

Hi guys!

Can you please help me to code this ob encounter?

Scenario:
An established patient visited the clinic for her initial antenatal care. She is currently 15 weeks pregnant (G2,P1) with previous cesarean section due to breech presentation. This is a spontaneous pregnancy. Patient has currently no complaints. No nausea, no vomiting, no abdominal pain, no vaginal bleeding. She is a known case of Uterine Fibroid, and Iron Deficiency Anemia. Patient is taking oral iron replacement. No surgical history, negative family history. The physician requested dating scan and booking investigation for the patient.

I hope you can help me with this.

Thank you!!!

Outpatient in a Bed…not Observation or Inpatient

If my cardiologist is asked to see a patient at the hospital who is classified as outpatient in a bed…neither inpatient or observation…how do I/can I code for that and what E&M would be used if so? Provider was recently called in to consult a patient as a second opinion for a Watchman and the patient was classified as outpatient in a bed.

Thank you.

Outpatient multiple day Injections 96376

My question is related to multiple injection codes being billed on different DOS at POS 22 outpatient.

My example is for the following:

DOS 11/22/17 CPT codes 96374. 96375
DOS 11/23/17 CPT codes 96376

Can they bill the 96376 on a different DOS without the initial billed code on the same date??

Auditing hospital inpatient and hospital outpatient services

Hello forum!

Hospital coding is not my thing…let me just say that first! I had a friend of mine take over a CFO position at a hospital and they are asking what the going rate is per case to audit inpatient records and outpatient records. Since this is not my lane I have no idea. Is anyone out there willing to give a general idea of how much the going rate is for these types of audits? Would appreciate some feedback. They are getting different rates depending on inpatient or outpatient which makes sense, I just don’t have a good feel where the competitive rates might be.

An Outpatient Coder’s Basic Crash Course in ICD-10-PCS

This open and expandable procedural code set is nothing to be intimidated by. When outpatient coders talk about ICD-10, they typically mean the ICD-10-CM (diagnosis) code set. But there’s another ICD-10 code set: ICD-10-PCS. If you’re unfamiliar, here’s an introduction. PCS Describes Inpatient Procedures The ICD-10-PCS code set is used to code inpatient procedures; PCS […]
