If the documentation does not meet initial inpatient visit, is it acceptable to bill an established patient visit? My concern is on the WPS website there is an FAQ that states you should use an unlisted code if the documentation does not meet an initial inpatient visit. Thanks, Kim
 
If the documentation does not meet the Initial inpatient visit (99221-99223) levels, yes you can bill a subsequent visit (99231-99233). If the patient is observation or outpatient, yes you bill bill an established Office visit (99212-99215).

I hope that answers your question.
