Good morning Coders!!
I am confused a bit with these codes. This code set is titled Observation/Inpatient visits: Admitted/Discharged on Same Date. I have been told that observation visits are outpatient since I started working here. Looking at these codes, I believe that these are in the inpatient setting. I do not think that these codes can be either inpatient or outpatient. My manager says that they can be either or.
I apologize if this is confusing, just need some clarity on these codes.
Thank you.
