Hello: I have read previous posts on this topic, but there seemed to be no clear definition.
I have a client hospital which wants to know if they can charge anything for triage by a nurse in the ER, if the patient leaves before they see the Dr. My online research has shown everything from using 99281, to using no Cpt with a flat fee and revenue code 451. So far, I'm not really comfortable with either...
Any thoughts on this? I have tried to find this in CMS, with no luck yet. Thanks in advance.
