The inpatient coding uses the ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS codes to transcribe the details of a patient’s visit and stay while outpatient coding uses the ICD-10-CM and HCPCS level II codes to write down the healthcare services a patient has used. Medicaid reimbursements tend to be significantly lower as compared to Medicare for similar services for both inpatient and outpatient care. Despite their variations, Medicare and Medicaid both strive to embrace value based reimbursement. Medicaid is an assistance program and different states control its own Medicaid program. States have different regulations which further affect Medicaid reimbursements.
