I have a question regarding the codes that a psychiatrist may use for billing E&M when rendering serices to a patient admitted to a partial hospitalization program in the outpatient hospital location (POS 52).
The 2013 AMA CPT codebook states that inpatient E&M are used in the partial hospitalization location. However, there seems to be a different guidance from CMS. In partial hospitalization instructions I'm interpreting that the recommendation is for professionals to use the outpatient E&M codes.
Please help with any resource that you may have.
Thank you.
