ER DR calls in PCP consult

Patient comes into ER and ER DR calls in Primary Care DR for consult ...Medicare patient...how would this be billed...as an E&M (99215) as OP or ER visit code ER or OP.....


Thanks!

99281-99285

Primary care bills level of ED encounter for a Medicare patient, if not admitted. ED physician bills level of ED visit he documented and performed.

What used to be a consult in the ED

I updated the article on the consult rule change, and added a category of code decision tree.
