Does anyone have experience with Prematurity of Retinopathy. We do a lot of inpatient consults for this condition. We have providers who bill 99233 established inpatient for every patient whether they are worsening or stable. I am wondering how you would bill these? We are observing from week to week while they are inpatient for other conditions. My rule of thumb would be
1. Stable-no changes 99231
2. Worsening - 99232
3. Need of a Laser to save sight- 99233
Also, if the condition is not changing(ex: stage 1) and they are stage 1 the following week. is that considered worsening or is that stable?
