Coding for Hospitalists

Coding for services done by hospitalists and other specialty physicians in the hospital can be confusing. After watching these videos and downloading the guides, you’ll be confident that you are selecting the right category of code and level of service. The third video discusses critical care and prolonged inpatient services. These are great for newly hired hospitalists or coders that code for them. Each is about 12 minutes long, so they’d also be good at staff meeting for continuing education.
