I am having difficulty with Blue Shield of Mass. If a patient is seen in the hospital by our orthopedic surgeon at the request of the admiitng physician - am I correct using 99223 and 99222?
If our orthopedic doc is asked to do a consult for a patient who was "admitted" by another physician but only for observation services and not really admitted - is the code 99223 and 99222 with a different place of service?
I thought all along I had been doing this correctly now doubt has been cast by one of the provider reps who was very nice but kinda messed me up.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated - thank you!!!!!
