I have read in CPT that any partial care hospital services are still reported under the inpatient codes...subsequently POS 21. Any thoughts ?

Was it a true inpt admit or was it for 23 hrs observation? Look at 99234, 99235, or 99236 to see if this fits your needs and us POS 22.

It's been a long time since I coded for physicians who saw patients on the TCU but I believe it is POS 31.
