THE HARD PARTS

What makes infectious disease billing hard

Consults in several settings

Hospital consults and clinic visits are billed differently, and location errors are a common denial.

Long courses of therapy

Outpatient antimicrobial therapy needs lab monitoring and clear documentation of every review.

Sensitive diagnoses

Some conditions carry stricter privacy expectations, and access to the record must be limited to the right people.

WHERE THE WORK HAPPENS

How infectious disease care is delivered and billed

Infectious disease specialists split their time between hospital consults and outpatient clinics. Inpatient consults and follow-ups are billed with a hospital place of service; the clinic sees HIV, hepatitis, travel medicine and post-discharge follow-up of serious infections. Outpatient antibiotic infusion and long-term antiviral therapy add drug management and prior authorization work.

What payers check on infectious disease claims

Inpatient consults are billed as hospital visits under most payers today, with the level chosen by decision making or time.
HIV and some sexually transmitted infection records carry stricter state disclosure rules than the rest of the chart.
Hepatitis C and HIV therapies usually require prior authorization with lab results such as viral load and genotype.
Outpatient infusion of antibiotics must document the drug, dose, route and administration times.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis visits have their own preventive coverage rules under many plans.

Common infectious disease diagnoses ICD-10-CM

B20	Human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease
Z21	Asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection status
B18.2	Chronic viral hepatitis C
A41.9	Sepsis, unspecified organism
L03.115	Cellulitis of right lower limb
A69.20	Lyme disease, unspecified

Examples only. The provider chooses the code that matches the documented diagnosis, and XEHR checks it against the note and the payer's rules before the claim goes out.
