Q&A: Which visit codes should be used in the ED?
Q: I work for general surgeons. Here is a common scenario: The surgeon is called in to see patient in the ED for trauma or consult. The patient is admitted, but our physician is not the admitting physician.
I would tend to bill the ED code set, but do I have to use the subsequent hospital care codes instead?
