Hello, I am trying to choose a CPT code. My doctor tells me he is the admitting doc for our patient that was sent to the observation unit at the hospital. He said to bill a level 3. I don't think he realizes I have to use observation/output codes...not inpatient. This is commercial insurance. Can someone help me with the correct range of codes or code? I'm thinking it would be the 99219, but I'm not sure if this is a code for hospitalists only or if it's appropriate for my doctor as well. My doc dictated the H&P for the chart. Thank you for help.
