We have a physician from our outpatient office travelling to our Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility to provide non-mental health E/M services when requested. I am having a hard time defining The PRTF to select a code for this. I've tried to research what category this location would fall under and can't find much.
Would I consider the PRTF to be a nursing facility?
Would this be considered a consultation because this physician is providing medical care not related to their mental health? Or would I code as regular E/M for the location type?
Any help is appreciated!
