pt admitted to nicu (99295), went to surgery, and then 'admitted' into picu after surgery and then sent back to nicu (seen by picu and nicu on same day)
1. should 99296 be used for the 'admit' into picu or should the 99295 be used?
2. for the day the pt is in picu and then sent back to nicu should only 1 dept bill the 99296 for that day?
