How Medsynthea solves Internal Medicine in Delaware
Internal medicine billing spans from outpatient E&M to critical care to hospital discharge management — each with distinct documentation thresholds. Critical care billing (CPT 99291/99292) requires separate time documentation for direct patient care, with procedures performed during critical care time listed separately only if not bundled. Medsynthea's SCRIBE agent captures critical care time from EHR timestamp data and validates Transition of Care (TCM) billing requirements (99495/99496) for 7-day and 14-day post-discharge contacts.
