I was in another thread about this and want to know what everyone thinks. This is always a hot debate in our office.
When an ER physician - calls a service, such a gen surg, plastics, cardio, etc....... how does everyone code this if the service called doesn't admit the patient?
i.e. : patient is in observation or in ER, do you bill outpatient consults (99241-99245) or outpatient codes whether they are new or established? (99201-99215)
