CCO Admin asked:
Just wanted to confirm what was stated in the Module 11 video for E/M regarding inpatient services. Is it correct that the inpatient services will not be on the CPC exam? I just want to make sure so that I do not put to much attention into studying it. Thank you in advance.
Answer:
While the CPC exam is geared toward physician billing keep in mind physicians do rounds and see their patients at hospitals and need to report those services. So think of hospital as a place of service vs you are coding FOR the hospital.
