Can anyone clarify on subsequent care codes for observation. If the documentation requirements fo an admit code or observation code are not met then a subsequent observation code may be used in it's place ?? Is this correct. I feel as though I have received incorrect advice on this. From what I can tell subsequent observation codes may only be used on the second day of observation and may not be used on the initial date of admit to observation. Thank You
