    AMA billing tips:

    • 03.03E is only billable once per calendar week (Sunday - Saturday). If the patient is ill and requires more than one visit per week, use 03.03D hospital daily care for the period where multiple visits are required e.g. acute inter-current illness. The admission date on the claim would be the date the illness started.
