Good Day Everyone
Can Observation Status extend more than one day in a hospitalist setup. If this being the case, can I bill 99217 as discharge code using POS 22 (Outpatient).
Also when I bill 99234 along with 99220 on the same day, what is the Place of Service to be billed in above scenario.
We are looking into a new client and they are insisting on we bill as OP Visits all these cases, so just wanted to make sure that it is as per compliance.
Regards
Kamala
