What level of service do y'all bill for visits with knee injection or sign up for knee replacement?
Hi, PA at an ortho hospital in Missouri. There's been a lot of confusion amongst our APPs about what level of service to bill common visits. Our coding team is telling us that we should only be billing 3's and 4's and that if you do a steroid injection in the knee, it's just a procedure code. My surgeon I work for told me visits where we end up doing an injection with steroids/visco are 4's and sign up for surgery is 5. They also seemed to support this in the team member meeting at AAHKS. When I do the level of service calculator in Epic, this is what I come up with too. What is everyone else doing?
