質問 # 35
Patient is admitted in observation care on 12/2/20XX in the morning for acute asthma exacerbation. The ED physician requires the patient to stay overnight. Next day, 12/3/20XX the patient is discharged from observation care in the afternoon. Patient's total stay in observation was 16 hours.
What E/M categories and code ranges are appropriate to report?
A. Hospital Inpatient or Observation Care Services (Including Admission and Discharge Services) (99234-
99236) and Hospital Inpatient or Observation Discharge services (99238-99239)

C. Initial Hospital Inpatient or Observation Care (99221-99223) and Hospital Inpatient or Observation Discharge services (99238-99239)
D. Hospital Inpatient or Observation Care Services (Including Admission and Discharge Services) (99234-
99236) and Subsequent Inpatient or Observation Care (99231-99233)
正解：A
解説：
1. E/M Code Category Selection:
The patient was placed in observation care on 12/2/20XX for an acute asthma exacerbation and stayed in observation for a total of 16 hours, with discharge occurring on 12/3/20XX.
The appropriate E/M category for patients in observation care for a period that includes both admission and discharge on separate calendar dates is "Hospital Inpatient or Observation Care Services", with specific codes for admission and discharge on different dates.
2. Code Range and Specific Codes:
Code Range 99234-99236 applies to cases where observation care includes both admission and discharge, particularly when they occur on different calendar days and the total duration of care is under 24 hours.
For discharge on the subsequent day, 99238-99239 (Hospital Inpatient or Observation Discharge Services) applies, depending on the time spent on discharge.
3. Rationale for Excluding Other Options:
Option B and Option D include Initial Hospital Inpatient or Observation Care codes (99221-99223), which are typically used for admissions to inpatient care rather than for observation care scenarios as presented here.
Option C incorrectly combines Subsequent Inpatient or Observation Care codes (99231-99233), which are used for follow-up days rather than discharge services.
4. AAPC and CPTCoding Guidelines:
According to CPTguidelines, the 99234-99236 code range is used when observation care requires both admission and discharge on different dates, and 99238-99239 is appropriate for discharge services.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. Hospital Inpatient or Observation Care Services (Including Admission and Discharge Services) (99234-99236) and Hospital Inpatient or Observation Discharge services (99238-99239).
