An anterior & posterior cystocele, rectocele repair was done by the surgeon in ambulatory setting on 7/14. Kept overnite and had bladder training done the next day and was seen & discharged by the family physician. The surgeon was there for the procedure only as this would have been like a satelite, coming from the city to a rural hospital.The family physician saw the patient that next day, the 15th, and wants to bill a D/C visit. Can we bill a 99217 in an ambulatory setting? Please advise. Thanks.
