I own a medical billing company. I have a new client who is an ID(infectious disease) consult in a hospital. I credentialed her with most insurance companies. She does strictly consultations. She does critical care in hospitals, inpatient in hospitals, and outpatient in a private office.
I was going to code them with codes 99241-45 for outpatient. 99251-55 for inpatient. 99291, 99292 for critical care services.
I have read that some payors don't recognize consult codes anymore. Do you guys have any suggestions as to another way I can bill payors for these consultations?
