I have come across this a couple times this week!

A patient is transferred from another rural health facility to our hospital with an acute MI. Our doc is on call, does the intervention and then admits the patient to inpatient.

Can I bill and get paid for the admit? Or is it bundled to the cardiac intervention? I did not know if the AI modifier made a difference.

Thanks for any insight!

Jenn,

I do put the AI and also modifier 25 to the admit note. If the note states that they saw the patient and the decision was made to proceed with the intervention.

Hope this helps
