Hospitalist Billing

[billingfromhome428]

My husband is an RN and he is passing my company info out to the physicians that he works with (which is awesome!).  Anyways, one of the hospitalists is interested in my services, but I have never billed for one.  I have billed for general surgeons, cardiologists and enterologists.  Is hospitalists billing basically the same?  Are there any specific questions that I should ask him?

It is very similar to other billing you have done.  The cpt codes are similar to the E&M cpt codes for physicians.  They range from 99221 - 99233.  The place of service is either 21 or 22 for inpatient or outpatient hospital, and the address of the hospital goes in box 32. 

Good luck
