If a pt is admitted to the Hospital via Er Dr or whomever, can our Physician (Internal Medicine) still code 99222(etc)the next day when he sees the pt and does an H&P on them? Or are we to code a 99232(etc) because the ER had already admitted them the day before? He is insisting that we can code a new admit for him as well. Sort of new at doing this for him and would really appreciate any help or advice to anyone that could help out. I need something to back this up. Please help!!!
Thanks so much,
