I am currently working on a build team to help our hospital go to Electronic Medical Records. Over the past 3 years, I have been working diligently to capture errors by poor documentation, over billing, etc. Lately we have been discussing Pulse Oximetry and how it is billed. My questions are as follows:
a. Is a single PO included with the ED Care Level (E/M)? Basically what I am asking here is if you have a Pt come in with SOB and the Triage RN performs a PO on them in Triage...do you bill for a single or include that with you E/M?
b. How do you determine MULTIPLE POs? Someone told me that anything over 1 is considered to be multiple however I can't find any documentation to support this.
c. Must the Dr write/order for ALL POs whether it be single, multiple or continuous?
d. Do you get reimbursed for these charges?
Any help offered would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
