The diagnosis code(s) must best describe the patient's condition for which the service was performed (ex, non-healing wound).Claims for CPT code 99183 are payable under Medicare Part B in the following places of service: office (11), inpatient hospital (21), hospital outpatient hospital (22) and independent clinic (49).According to CPT coding guidelines, Evaluation and Management services and/or procedures (e.g., wound debridement) provided in a hyperbaric oxygen treatment facility in conjunction with a hyperbaric oxygen therapy session should be reported separately.
the C code is not billed by the physician, it is billed by the hospital only. The E/M reimbursement will be based on locality and site of service.
