HOSPITAL PROGRESS NOTES

Subsequent Hospital Care (99231-99233)

These codes are used to bill for subsequent hospital care services known to all physicians since their first clerkship as hospital progress notes. There are three levels of care for this type of encounter which all require qualifying documentation of two out of three key components. Most physicians over-document and under-code for these services. You can break this pattern by viewing the web-course listed below.

Level	E/M Code	History	Physical Exam	MDM	Time
1	99231	Problem Focused	Problem Focused	Straightforward / Low	15
2	99232	EPF	EPF	Moderate	25
3	99233	Detailed	Detailed	High	35

For these encounters, documentation of two out of three key components is required for any given level of care
