I code for a Neurologist. He has his own practice but frequently works in the hospital as well. He gets called to the ED for consultations. It's my understanding that if the patient has Medicare, he can bill for an ED visit (99281-99285). Sometimes, the patient isn't discharged on the same day & he's seeing them multiple days in the ED. Of note, the hospital does not list the patient as being in observation, only as being in the ED.
What CPT code(s) can I use for the subsequent times he sees patients in the ED? I've tried using 99212-99215 but the claim denies for place of service (POS 23). Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
