I'm confused as to why my scrubber continues to error our my 99222 claim. My physician is the patient's PCP and did not admit the patient; however, he does see them each day they are in the hospital and does assist to manage care for the patient. When he is notified of the patient admission, he typically will go the next day. The admission date on the claim will be the date the patient was admitted, but my date of service for that claim is the date he saw the patient (typically the next day). My scrubber is erroring the claim stating that the date of admission must be the same date as the date of service. Am I missing a modifier? Any assistance would be appreciated, as I'm new to all of this.
