Wiki E/M code for Assisted Living Place

[sam_son]

Hello All,

One of our Doctor goes to an assisted living place and see patients there. There is a room there that is like a doctor office and that has a waiting room. He does not going to the patient's individual apartments.
I am confusing with the below options.
1. Does this get coded as a regular office visit.
2. Does it get coded as Domiciliary Rest Home Custodial service.

Also which Place of Service should be used.
- Office visit with 11 or 13 or 14
- Domiciliary Rest Home Custodial service with POS 13 or 14 or 33.

All your answers are appriciated.
