Hospital Rounding – Automatic Codes (IPTMA, IPTXA)
Service codes for rounding will differ depending on the number of days the patient has been admitted. The MDBilling.ca automatic codes allow a physician to enter one code for rounding. Our software system will automatically choose the correct (and highest paying) inpatient subsequent visit service allowed based on the admission date entered.
HOW TO USE:
IPTMA (MRP Rounding): Our system will choose the correct inpatient subsequent visit code and add the MRP premium (E083) for you.
IPTXA (Non-MRP - covering): Our system will choose the correct inpatient subsequent visit code for you.
Day / Week after admission | IPTMA | IPTXA |
1st Day | C122A + E083A | C002A |
2nd Day | C123A + E083A | |
1 – 5th Week | C002A + E083A | |
6 - 13th Week | C007A + E083A | C007A |
13th + Week | C009A + E083A | C009A |
