We are having some confusion here at our office to when it is appropriate add AI modifier when patient is admitted with in same day and sees two different providers.
Medicare patient:
Sees ER provider and ER provider calls in the hospitalist to consult patient, hospitalist admits patient all within the same day.
Example: 99222-AI
or
Sees ER provider on Monday and ER provider calls in the hospitalist to consult patient, hospitalist consults and admits patient on Tuesday.
Example: 99222 (no AI)
or
Hospitalist consults and admits patient, hospitalist calls cardiologist to consult patient and cardiologist see patient on the same day.
Example: 99222-AI
are these examples correct?? help :/
