We have an office in the community, not affiliated with a hospital, that is set up like an ER. It is staffed by experienced ER physicians and has ER equipment and capability. We can directly admit patients to local hospitals to the patient's doctor or to a hospitalist.
Place of service "#23 Emergency Room - Hospital" is the closest to our facility in the CPT book.
Q1) Can we be a Specialty Hospital with our specialty being Emergency Medicine?
Q2) Regarding the current moratorium on Ambulatory Surgical Centers, is there also a moratorium on Specialty Hospitals? Are they synonymous?
Q3) Is there any registration required to declare a facility is a specialty hospital?
