Does anyone know, based on a legitimate coding source, whether or not an "inpatient" subsequent telephone visit is billable - and if so, how? I have a specialty who provided an inpatient face to face consult - but then the very next day, a different provider, in the same specialty group, decided to do a subsequent visit via telephone because the patients covid test result was not back yet and they did not want to risk exposure. The patient was in their room and the provider was at the nurses station. The patient was not seen by this specialty group again until 3 days later and from that point on, all visits were face to face as the covid result was negative. I have one coder saying the visit is completely not billable at all - but other coders saying that it is billable with a regular subsequent inpatient e&m code because the provider and patient were in the same location, same bldg, same floor, etc. and therefore, the visit did not meet telephone visit criteria. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
