The reason for this is, when we’re billing in the inpatient facility environment , we are billing for the services that it took to rule in or rule out that diagnosis.

They say specifically under Section II.H, it says Uncertain Diagnosis. If you’re coding for the inpatient hospital facility, you are going to take what the diagnosis says at the time of discharge. Not at the time they’re admitted, but right when we send them home, that discharge summary.
When the claim is generated, they then look to see what place of service did that patient wind up in to determine which rules do we need to follow. If they wind up in the inpatient environment, they were admitted for a full hospitalization, the claim that’s generated is going to utilize the inpatient diagnosis, quite frankly. It is going to code for all of the different pieces that it needs to.
