Cindy, do a search on this board for Transitional Care Management. There are a couple of large threads posted that I am sure will answer your questions.

WHEN WE KEY THE 99495 OR 99496 CODES DO WE INCLUDE THE HOSPITAL
DATE OF ADMIT/DISCHARGE ON THE CMS 1500. No, you're expected report day 30, not the discharge date.


ALSO SOME CONFUSION ON WHEN THE PATIENT HAS THERE F2F DO WE CHAREGE AN E/M VISIT THEN THE TCM CODE AFTER THE 30 DAYS. No, the face to face is bundled in. The TCM is billed on day 30.

ANY INFO WILL HELP.
THANKS,
