In order to bill a Discharge CPT code 99238 or 99217 from inpatient or observation does the physician have to do an exam? CMS states a face-to-face visit. It does not give any other criteria. I am having issues with the physicians. They are doing the Discharge Summaries but it does not include an exam. I am reluctant to bill without an exam.
Please advise what to do.
Thanks.
