Good Morning,
I have a doctor that wants to have 99223 on all of his initial hospital patients. He has requested that once coded and if the level is 99222 or lower that we send it back so he can change it to make it a 99223. I am not comfortable in doing this it seems unethical to me. Am I over reacting? Any advice would be appreciated.
