Hi,
I have a doubt and if someone can help me to clarify this doubt, it will be greatly appreciated.
One of my Dr is an addiction medicine physician and he is treating his patients in his clinic. Dr is also visiting his patients in a residential substance abuse rehabilitation facility. So what should be the E/M code for the rehab facility visits. I m not quite sure how to determine if these are considered out patients or inpatients. Patients spend 30 -90 days at the facility but it is not staffed 24 hrs per day with nurses and the patients administer their own medications which are ordered from an outpatient pharmacy and delivered to them. Can we use 99201 to 99205?
