Wiki Emergency Room type B billing

[luannw7]

What CPT codes are to be billed for the ER docs professional billing for visits in a type B emergency room? Are they the Emergency Room codes OR the outpatient visit codes? I know on the facility side they are to bill out Gcodes to Medicare for type B. Thanks for your help!

Any ER encounter for the physician claim is to have the E&M codes in 99281-99285 range

99281 - 99285 can only be used if the type B ED is available 24 hours a day, per AMA guidelines in the CPT book. If not available 24 hrs, then 99201 - 99215 must be used.
