Hello,

Our Doctor saw a patient in the hospital for a stroke evaluation. The evaluation was done on 1/16/18, but admission date is 1/17/18. Our doctor wanted to bill 99222. This is incorrect as the pt was not admitted as of yet. So, we should file as POS 22, with appropriate outpatient E/M code. Correct? We saw the patient on 1/17/18 and 1/18/18, those were filed as 99232.

Thanks!
