Can a specialist called in to see a patient in the ED bill for ED Services ( 99281-99288) with POS 23 or do they need to bill for the E&M for outpatient services with POS 22?

See Medicare's instructions: https://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Ed...k-MLN/MLNMattersArticles/downloads/mm6740.pdf, pg 5.
"If the ED physician requests that another physician evaluate a given patient, the other physician should bill an emergency department visit code."
So, yes, an ER visit with POS 23 would be appropriate by the GI doc.

Is this a consultation situation? What other events happened (eg, did the patient get admitted)?
