Does anyone know if you can bill 99497 with an Inpatient Discharge code if documentation supports both? There is a note for the ACP with time documented and a discharge summary documented with the time.
It would depend on the documentation. Advance care planning services are reported for the discussion and explanation of advanced directives by a physician or other qualified health care professional. These services are time-based services that do not involve any active management of problems during the course of the face-to-face service between the provider and a patient, family member, or surrogate and may be reported on the same day as another E/M service. Hope this helps
