From my understanding, a facility that performs SA Detox and Residential care should be using the hospital inpatient e/m set (99231-99233) when reporting physician encounters that medically manage or monitor their care. I was told that the SNF e/m set (99304-99316) is more appropriate since CPT includes psychiatric facilities as part of the definition. Even after audit, I have had no trouble with the hospital set, but is the SNF set actually correct for free standing facilities?
