Are you billing and coding claims correctly when changing an inpatient admission to an outpatient status? What type of documentation are you including in the medical records to support the change in the patient status? During this event, we discuss:
• Medicare policy when changing patient status from inpatient to outpatient
• Condition Code 44 criteria
• Billing requirements for Condition Code 44
• Special billing rules for observation services
• Documentation requirements
