Why would a hospital system not allow cystoscopies in the office? E&M visit in an ASC.

Dr. John C. Lin answers a question by a member of The Thriving Urology Practice Facebook group regarding why a hospital would not allow cystoscopies to be performed in the office / clinic. Discussed why a cystoscopy is not being done in the office and implication to urologist, patient, and hospital system. Concepts of RVU and its various components, medical necessity, global package, and physician payment were explored.
Also he answers whether one can bill an E&M at an ambulatory surgery center.

This was a great topic! Such a refresher after never ending discussions on mod 25, leveling E/Ms, and now G2211 😂 (I don't mean your channel only) I'm especially glad you mentioned increased patient's out of pocket payments. Sadly not many providers really care about it 😔.
