A new coder starting saying that if the physician has seen the patient recently in office and is now being admitted as inpatient but was seen for the same dx that you should bill a sub-day and not an admit. Also, says due to being an established patient that you should not bill an admit but a sub-day. Have I missed something here. I thought even if they saw them in office the day before and then admitted the next day that we bill an admit.
