I have a doctor that saw a patient in the ER he charged an ER consult level III a 99283-25 then he did a 21501 incision and drainage. Then they found a mass and had to admit the patient. The patient stayed in the hospital for 4 days. He is asking if he can charge for the admission and discharge along with the ER consult. I am not sure at all. I code for an ASC not hospital coding.
