My doc interprets an ekg on a patient on 10/20. This patient entered the hospital thru the ER on 10/20 and was upgraded to an inpatient Obs status on 10/21 and discharged from the hospital on 10/22.
I am trying to determine the physical place of service the ekg was performed and what place of service the physician should bill.
Would this be ER (23) or Outpatient (22)?
When I call to confirm with the hospital all they tell me is that the patient was in Observation. I do not do hospital coding, so I take it that they report their bill differently than the physician does? Ideas anyone?
Much appreciated!
