You are not getting paid everything you’re entitled to for your provider’s hospital-based E/M visits.
Inpatient Coding is Complex & Confusing
From counting patient care minutes to untangling how to code a same-day admission and discharge, it can take forever to pinpoint and apply the proper inpatient coding rules.
To get paid accurately for these hospital-based E/M services, you must master numerous inpatient coding rules. For example, you must be able to differentiate the unique coding conventions for various hospital areas (admissions, critical care, inpatient unit services, varying locations, discharges, observations, etc.).

Inpatient Coding Important Notice
CPT inpatient coding rules changed this year. To further complicate their accurate use, Medicare and the American Medical Association (AMA) disagree on when you can utilize these codes and even what modifiers apply. Hospital-based E/M codes are highly valued and significantly contribute to your practice’s revenue if you get them right.
Even if you only perform inpatient coding a few times a week, this expert-led online training is a must-attend event. Sign up for this online training session today and get paid more of what you deserve for your inpatient services.
