Can anyone give me an example of what would fall under coordination of care for an inpatient (trying to bill based off of time)? I know the guidelines state the time doesn't have to be face-to-face and can occur on the floor/unit. But, does a face-to-face with the patient ever have to occur? Would reviewing patients chart, discussing patient with other providers and preparing orders be acceptable to bill an E/M service based on time without seeing the patient on that specific day?
