coding for urgent care

We use normal cpt codes 99202- 99205 and 99211-99215 so the same EM rules apply. If you are new to urgent care coding you will learn very quickly how your docs code and the majority of what issues you treat at your clinic. Each clinic has it's own set of "favorites" they use. Keep in mind urgent care coding is very similar to outpatient clinic coding it is not emergency room coding.

If you have specific questions or I can be of any help, you can email me
Tiffiany.Edwards@crmcwy.org

I do the coding for Urgent Care and Occupation Medicine.

Have a great day.
