Due to the absence of the consult codes with Medicare, they allow what would have been a consult to be billed as a hospital admit 99221-99223 and a true hospital admission uses the same codes with a modifier AI.
Now that commercial carriers, Tricare, and VA are following Medicare with the deletion of consults are they accepting this inpatient coding scenario? Does anyone have experience or articles to verify?
