Wiki Coding guideline

Your question is to general you need to be more specific, but I would start with looking at your CPT guidelines for emergency department services.
I am looking for ED facility level coding guidelines. Difference between facility coding and professional coding?

Facility coding guidelines are different. Each facility sets their own criteria. Some may follow AECP guidelines, some may use a modified version or completely different. Facility takes in resources used into consideration where professional is based on History, Exam & MDM.
So we bill only E/M level code (99281-99285) for professional and E/M (as per ACEP guideline) along with Infusion/injection/monitoring etc for facility coding, right?

Hi, I'm currently an ED coder (facility side). I was trained to apply ACEP guideline (link below) in my daily coding. However, each facility will also has their own "guideline" to use but the ACEP guideline always takes priority. Hope this helps!
