Patient was admitted and discharged on the same date by general surgeon. On same day patient had appendectomy. Would I bill an initial H & P (99221 - 99223) with the surgery or would it be same day admit and discharge (99234-99236).
 
Was this stemming from an ER visit? If so, was the general surgeon brought in for an eval and then made the decision for surgery?
