Hi-
If a patient is in the ER and they were admitted into Observation...the supervising phycian that oversees the patient can only bill the initial observation code however when it comes to facility billing, is it appropriate for the facility to bill rev code 0450 for the ER bed and also rev code 0762 for the observation bed along with the respective E/M and Observation codes? I'm getting told that some carriers don't bundle their room charges.
Thanks!
