Wiki 23 Hour Hold in ASC

[tpardo]

Hello Everyone...

I need some assistance on how everyone is billing for the facility component of a 23 hour hold in an ambulatory surgery center...

Our in-house coder is saying we should bill w/a 99199 w/the associated revenue code BUT in doing some research it just doesn't seem right...

Any input would be greatly appreciated...

Have a great day everyone...

Hi, I would recommend checking w/ your carrier.

We have had 23 hour stays and you can only bill for the procedure(s) that are performed. 99199 is a medicine code and are not reimbursed in an ASC.
