Here is my scenerio:
This is a hospitalist group of physicians. Dr. A completes a discharge summary and bills a 99239 on Monday and goes home for the day thinking this patient is leaving the hospital for hospice care. Due to patient not leaving on Monday, Dr. B sees the patient on Tuesday and completes documentation to support a subsequent visit (99232). Can Dr. B bill this subsequent visit 99232 after the 99239 discharge code has been billed?
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
