I have been coding ER visit codes 99281-5 for the crosswalk for Medicare Consults when the POS is the ER and not crosswalking to OP visit codes new or established for Hospitalist and Orthopaedic consults ;I use those when the POS is Obsrv. Can anyone tell me if I am correct to bill the ER codes? I am getting conflicting info. Also, this should pay even though the ER physician charges the same ER level codes for that same day...my understanding is that multiple providers can charge ER levels on the same day with the same tax ID as long as they are different specialties.

Any in put in settling a debate is greatly appreciated
