I am coding hospital charges for a family doctor who sees both IP and OBS patients.
My question is this: Per the facility records, the patient is placed in obs by ER physician on 03/15 and DC date is 03/16. The family doctor sees the patient in OBS only on 03/16 and DCs the patient to home.
In this scenario, is it appropriate to sue the codes 99234-99236 for the family doctor's sevices, even if the facility records state the patient was in OBS on 2 consecutive days?
