Quick Coding Reference Sheet – Hospitalists

This is the reference sheet for hospital services using the 1995/1997 guidelines. As of Jan 1, 2023 it will no longer be in use. Why have we kept it on the site? In case you are auditing  or hospital services prior to 2023

This quick coding reference sheet is a must have when coding E/M services for hospitalists. It covers consults, initial and subsequent hospital visits, and observation. This essential resource from CodingIntel includes:

  • E/M codes for each of the above categories
  • Documentation requirements
  • MDM examples
  • Time thresholds
  • and more important information on evaluation and management codes for hospitalists
