Answer - Subsequent Hospital Care category (Procedure code 99231-99233)

Codes from this subcategory will be used by a consultant, who takes part in the management of an in-patient sequel to conducting an initial consultation, to report services. According to the CPT codes, three levels of subsequent hospital care (99231, 99232, and 99233).
