Hello,
I do not know how to bill for a hospital consultation for a Medicare patient under observation status. Since Medicare does not pay for consult codes, and patient is not inpatient what is the correct code to use?, I was using observation codes but we got a denial because our doctor was not the admitting physician.
Our Dr. was called to see patient for a specialist consultation, please help.
