Hospital Follow-Up Visit (Moderate Complexity)

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 99232

A daily check-in visit from a doctor for a patient who is already admitted to the hospital, used when the patient's condition requires a moderate amount of evaluation, such as responding to a new problem or an illness that isn't improving as expected. It reflects more involved decision-making than the most basic level of daily hospital visit. It typically includes a fuller exam and closer review of test results and treatment adjustments.
