Hi all,
I'm a new coder working with hospitalists. My question pertains to the correct E&M code for the Nurse Practitioner treating a patient in the ER when called from the floor for triage.
My thoughts are the Observation codes as my understanding is the ER codes are reserved for the ER physicians when working on the same patient.
I have been researching on my own but would love input to come up with a definative answer.
