If a provider is the discharging provider and documented a discharge summary but they think they won't get paid for a 99238 or 99239 can they bill a daily e/m code (99469,99478-99480) instead? They were billing these services prior to discharge in the NICU and do not bill discharges. I am trying to find something that states they have to bill a discharge if they are discharging the patient.
