Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 99232 covers

A physician or qualified nonphysician practitioner reports this level when following a patient receiving hospital inpatient or observation care. Hospitalists, internists, cardiologists, and nephrologists may use it while managing conditions such as heart failure, pneumonia, or acute kidney injury. The condition alone does not determine the level; the documented work must support moderate medical decision making (MDM), or the practitioner must meet the time requirement. Medicare reports this code predominantly in the facility setting.

Select 99232 by moderate MDM or at least 35 minutes of the billing practitioner's total time on the date of service, including qualifying work away from the unit. When selecting by MDM, document the problems addressed, data reviewed or analyzed, and management risk; at least two MDM elements must reach the moderate level. When selecting by time, document the total time. Practitioners in the same specialty and group generally report one hospital E/M visit per patient per day. For a split or shared visit by a physician and nonphysician practitioner in the same group, the practitioner who performed the substantive portion bills with modifier FS.
