Can someone explained to me how this work? When a DR. see a patient in the hospital on whatever day and the patient expire that day or maybe the Dr. has not seen the patient yet but is the attending Dr. Should it be coded as a subseqent visit or as a discharge? The Dr thinks it should be subsequent because when discharging you are giving instructions and because the patient expire you are not apparently giving instructions. Can someone tell me which is correct?
