Consult Codes: Do Not Bill
Do not bill consults for dates of service after
12/31/09 to CMS. For office visits, you will need to change them
to either a new patient visit code (99201-99205) if they meet
new patient criteria or established patient visit code
(99211-99215) if they do not meet new patient criteria. You will
need to do this conversion. Medicare will not do this for you.
The inpatient consults will be billed as Initial Daily Care
visits (99221-99223). Subsequent inpatient consults will be
billed as they are today as subsequent daily care (99231-99233).
