Hello,
I am reading conflicting information regarding Hospital Inpatient or Observation Care.
I have an article from 2015 and the CPT 2026 stating that we can bill CPT codes 99221-99223 per specialty each day but then I am reading that only the admitting physician can bill those codes.
Can someone please provide information regarding these codes and if you have any links, that would be helpful as well.
Thank you.
 
Did you find any information? I am struggling with this as well. Recently started receiving denials from Humana and need to have all the information to appeal. I tried to appeal on the basis of our provider being the only provider in the group/specialty billing the code and they still denied. Stated that another provider billed for this code already. The Medicare manual contradicts itself several times in the same chapter.
