If a provider does not meet the 3 out of 3 criteria for an initial encounter in the hospital or nursing home, can you down code to a subsequent visit?
I was told that you could do this at an AAPC auditing workshop a couple of years ago but have never been able to find anything in writing.:confused:
 
Thank you very much for the information. It appears that this all pertains to hosptial, I am curious if they will allow downcoding to sub in the nursing home as well??
