Does this makes any sense to anyone?
This was something passed on to me regarding subsequent visits.
Normally with keying, we do not enter two charges in one day unless it was prolonged care, CC or significant change in the DX with code 233. The physician that coded a regular subvisit will not be keyed into the system and only the admission would count.
Well the Hospitalist that provided the subvisit care would like to know how can she be compensated for the time that she took to see and document (progress note) the patient's progress. Could you help clarify this for me so that I may pass it along to the Hospitalists
Example:
If Dr. X admitted the pt at 2:00a and Dr. Y arrived later that day and saw the pt as a regular subvisit, we normally do not key the subvisit unless it was critical care, prolonged care or a significant change in the Dx with cpt 233
