If an ER doc calls for a consult with Cardio, Ortho or any other specialty while the pt is in the ER what POS do you use for that specialty consult? ER or OPT?
 
if the provider sees the patient in the ER at the request of the ER provider this is a POS ER not outpatient and you use ER visit levels. If the patient's provider tells the patient to "meet me in the ER" and there is no ER provider evaluation then the patient's provider may bill regular office visit codes using the ER POS. This is covered in the MCM.
