I am looking for some guidance on how to bill for inpatient ROP visits in the NICU. Is it better to billed the codes from the medicine section of the CPT book or EM codes. In help references, etc. would be appreciated. Thank you
We bill 99231 - 99233 unless it's a payer that still allows consultation CPT codes. Since we are not the admitting physician, regular inpatient codes are not appropriate to use.
