Hi everyone,
I am so confused. I just started working at this Nephrology Clinic doing coding and billing. PLEASE HELP! I'm going to give some scenario's and if someone can please tell if when to bill an initial vs. subsequent visit.
Our dialysis clinic patient, another dr admitted, not ESRD related...
Our dialysis patient, another dr admitted, ESRD related...
I think I understand if it's our patient, we admitted, not ESRD related we can charge an INTIAL (99221,22, or 23) and if our patient, we admitted, ESRD related, we charge SUBSEQUENT(99231, 32, or 33).
Thanks in advance!
