For a Hospitalist in 2009, a patient admitted on observation 99220 then rounded on the next day, on a 99215 is that correct? Medicaid told us if we had seen the patient in the last three years we had to use an established patient CPT code. This code is now under scrutiny and am wondering if some payers would have accepted the 99204 series?
January 2011 the observation rounding codes changed over to the 99226 series and I am thinking the payer is just not saavy on Hospitalist services OR did we actually use the wrong code?
A lotta help please!
