The patient was inpatient in Facility A. My physician was consulted and saw the patient in the morning (99223 - Medicare patient). The patient was then transfered to Facility B because of CVA. My physician saw the patient again later that day.

How do I bill this since both are on the same DOS but at different facilities? He did not provide time spent.

If I had time spent, could I bill 99223 and prolonged service code? Under which facility location?

Since I don't have time spend, do I bill just one 99223? Under which facility?

Gotta love these situations!
