Subsequent Observation Care: In the instance that a patient is held in observation status for more than two calendar dates, the supervising physician should utilize a subsequent Observation Care CPT code (99224-99226). Physicians other than the supervising physician providing care to a patient designated as "observation status" should report subsequent Observation Care.

Can/should the provider that did NOT initiate observation care bill subsequent care codes?

We are finding conflicting information.
