I do work with a Provider who will often bring patients in during lunch time, after or even before his regularly scheduled hours At this point the office is not using special service codes CPT codes I would just like to confirm my understanding
If the pt is scheduled during the Providers lunch it would be appropriate to add 99050 to say a 99212
99051 would or could be used for evening ,weekend or holiday hours in addition to the E/M I understand that convenience hours might differ by 3rd party payers
99058 would/could be added to an E/M for an emergency visit that disrupts the Providers regularly scheduled patients
I do understand that if the provider is running late and that if the patient is seen outside of established/advertised hours that does not qualify as well the Providers hours must be posted I'm just looking for confirmation on the use
Feed back is appreciated
