What POS service should be used for a consutlation performed in a skilled nursing faciilty. Medicare denied invalid POS for a consultation 99241 billed for POS 8 (SNF).
 
I believe it's your CPT code. Per Medicare....In the nursing facility setting, the consulting physician or qualified NPP shall use the appropriate Initial Inpatient Consultation codes (99251 – 99255) for the initial consultation service.

CPT also states to report 99251-99255 for Nursing Facilities

Great thanks as always your responses are spot-on backed by documentation.
