Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hello All- Is anyone currently (or eventually thinking about) billing within a hospital setting (psychiatric or medical floors)? I have heard contradictory thoughts/statements/possibilities on this subject. Is anyone more familiar with this or has billing codes that are currently being used? Thanks-- Augello Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I've been using billing codes on an outpatient basis...and I believe that patients have been getting out of network benefits because I am not on any panels. Would be glad to share more info if you're interested. - Genovese LCAT and Billing Hello All- Is anyone currently (or eventually thinking about) billing within a hospital setting (psychiatric or medical floors)?

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi , Were you thinking of billing in terms of being a consultant on these units? I can't tell you the specific codes but the rates for billing inside a facility for psychiatric care, vary depending on type and level of service (in-patient, day treatment, partial hospital, substance addiction, psychiatry). This is a matter of length of stay, discharge or hours/day re: the consumer vs. discipline. Hope this helps. - Marie > LCAT and Billing > Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2006 13:22:09 -0800 (PST) > > > Hello All- > > Is anyone currently (or eventually thinking about) billing > within a hospital setting (psychiatric or medical floors)?

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 The psychiatric hospital where I work offers an all inclusive rate so patients are not billed separately for services. I think this is often true of private psychiatric hospitals.
