Our physician was called down to the ER by the ER physician.He did a consult and admitted the patient to observation.Can the consult and the admission to observation both be billed out or just the observation admit? Thanks Kathy
 
As the consulting physician has decided to admit patient to obsevation he will bill the initial observation services 99218-99220 and the ER physician will bill ED codes 99281-99285.
