Call Backs (Call Out Fees)
To be eligible for Continuing Care fees, you must first be called INTO the hospital from an outside location. This means you cannot already be at the hospital caring for patients, or scheduled to come in and see patients. When called in, the first patient you see you will bill a Call Out fee along with your visit/consult fee. Any patient you see thereafter will qualify for Continuing Care fees. The fee code depends on the time the call was placed.
See sample below.
Note: The default time that appears for the start is the current time. This allows for quick billing at the time of receiving the call back.
Continuing Care Fees (billed to subsequent patients)
After you have billed a Call Out fee on the first patient seen, you are eligible to bill Continuing Care on additional patients you see on that same call out. It is important to note that continuing care can only be logged in 30 minute blocks of time. If you see two patients in that 30 minutes, you will log the Continuing Care on the last patient seen in that 30 minutes. There are also different fee codes depending on if the service you are providing is Operative or Non-Operative.
Non-Operative Continuing Care
Operative Continuing Care
------------------------------------------------------------------
Example:
Saturday March 17, 2018 at 1:00PM, you are at home and get called to come into the hospital to read an urgent scan. After handling your first case, you continue to see more patients before leaving the hospital.
Patient 1: Called in at 1:00PM and arrived at the patient at 1:30PM
01202: Weekend Call Out fee code (1:00PM to 1:30PM)
Patient 2: Seen from 2:15PM to 2:30PM
No Billing
Patient 3: Seen from 2:30 to 2:45
01207: Weekend Non-Operative Continuing Care (2:15PM to 2:45PM)
Note: You will bill the full 30 minutes of continuing care on the last patient seen in the 30 minute block.
