Is it possible to be reimbursed for the observation discharge (99217) if our initial observation care (99220) was rejected because it was paid to another provider?
*Please note, our documentation supports the billing of 99220 and 99217.
In other words, will the physician who is reimbursed for the initial observation care be the only physician that is reimbursed for any/all observation services?
I greatly appreciate any help![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
