I work in a critical access hospital in a remote area. We have specialists that come out to our facility and see patients through our specialty clinic. Our Ortho doctors will see patients in our area and then will do surgery back at the hospital in the city that they work in. They will then have follow up/post op visits again at our facility. Does anyone know for sure if we can bill for the room charge only? We do not handle the pro fees for the doctors and we know the post ops are included with the procedure. We typically bill a 99212 on a UB for the room only for a typical visit but are not sure if we can even do that on a post op visit.

The facility may bill for each encounter even post op. The concept of global does not apply to the facility so if the utilization of facility resources is the level 2 then that is what you may bill.
