My office is in a discussion on whether to use 99217 with codes 99218-99220 on a patient admitted to observation and discharged on a different date.
CCI edits are saying....99217 cannot be billed with the 99218-99220 codes..however, if you read Medicare newsletters, MLN..they say yes 99217 can be billed with 99218-99220..
How are other coders billing these codes?
Thanks,
Monica
