As a reminder, in alignment with guidance from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the reporting of CPT code 85060 (PC/TC 8) by a physician or other qualified health care professional is appropriate only when it is accompanied by place of service (POS) code 21 (inpatient hospital.) 

CarePartners of Connecticut will deny 85060 (PC/TC 8) when billed without POS 21.
