Hope someone can help. We have ED physicians who regularly get call for inpatient or Emergency Room Toxicology Consults. Some payers allow the consult codes, however most do not. Can we use Inpatient codes (992221-99223, 99231-99233) for those patients that are being seen inpatient?, or do we have to use outpatient visit codes (992101-099205, 99211-99215)?
