If a specialist is called in by the ER provider as a "consult". The specialist performs everything need to select a consult E/M level. The specialist consults and leaves he does NOT admit the patient.
I know some insurances still pay the consult codes (99241-99425). Medicare doesn't - so can I bill a (99201-99215) for that visit for Medicare patients?? Also if I submit (99241-99245) to all other insurances will they automatically cross-walk it (99201-99215) if they do not pay consult codes.
Thanks for your help
