I have had my CPC for about 4 years now but have been coding about 7 and I only have experience with professional coding for physicians and NPP's. I'm trying to gain more knowledge regarding outpatient facility coding to broaden by career but I am having trouble finding information regarding coding guidelines etc. for facility coding. I am totally clueless in this regard because like I said I only have professional billing experience, can someone please point me in the direction of where to find information or provide me with a how-to?? What codesets do most facilities use? Do they use ICD-9 and CPT books or a different code set?
 
I am looking for this kind of information as well. Specifically, I am looking for the differences in coding for a physician-based, in-office infusion/chemotherapy versus an outpatient, hospital-based infusion suite.

What are the differences in guidelines? Are there differences in what is billable/payable?

Are you referring to ED coding, a hospital clinic?

I'm referring to all outpatient hospital coding: ambulatory surgeries, outpatient, observation, and ED. I am totally clueless in this regard. I actually was hired by the hospital I interviewed with and they are going to be training me on this so I can take the CPC-H exam but I would like to show up my first day I little more prepared...:confused:
 
I have been billing O/P facility services for 15 years and have some materials that may be helpful to you, especially in E/M, E/D and wound care services. You can call me at 573-581-4765 or email.
