A patient is brought by EMS to the hospital with multiple stab wounds to the chest. He's seen by the Trauma Surgeon in the ED and after evaluating the pt he decides to admit him. Should he bill using the E/M Emergency Department Services codes 99281-99285 or the E/M Initial Hospital Care codes 99221-99223? Please provide references for your decision.
Thank you!
