I have an Ortho Specialist who saw a patient in the ER and wants to bill a 99281-99285. It is my understanding that this range of codes are for the first provider that sees the patient in the ER, which is usually the ER doctor.
The ER contacted the Ortho provider for treatment options (consult or other E/M as appropriate)
Are we to bill the ER visit or other Outpatient code with place of service 23?
Thank you so much!
