If a hospitalist evaluates a patient in the hospital do we follow inpatient or outpatient coding guidelines? Can we submit this data to the health plan?

A. Yes, submit the hospitalist’s data to the health plan. Follow the physician/outpatient coding guidelines (Coding Clinic 2000 Q3).

All physician services should be submitted to the health plan and the plan submits them to CMS. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
