  • Description: Many hospitals struggle with revenue capture within the emergency department (ED). They lack either the reporting capabilities or the revenue cycle functionality to proactively identify trends that can impact financial viability. Most focus on capturing all physician services delivered within the ED. Often, less attention is paid to recognizing revenue from nursing procedures. Nursing activity can be reflected by six baseline CPT codes: 96360 for intravenous infusion, hydration, initial 31 minutes to 1 hour, and 96361 for each additional hour; 96365 for intravenous infusion, for therapy, prophylaxis, or diagnosis, initial up to 1 hour, and 96366 for each additional hour; 51701 for insertion of non-indwelling bladder catheter; and 51702 for insertion of temporary indwelling bladder catheter, simple. By focusing on these six CPT codes, hospitals can identify important opportunities to better capture revenue in the ED, while also demonstrating the value such improvements to key constituencies, thereby fostering support from leadership for needed changes to revenue cycle procedures throughout not only the ED but also the entire organization.
