If a patient is discharged after a lap chole and returns to the hospital with a bile leak, can we bill another E/M since it is a new diagnosis code? Or is this considered part of the post-op care?
 
Most will deny a visit with 24 mod but if there is return to or, that is billable. Sorry bout caps!!!
