I noticed a EP physician schedules patient to have a dual chamber ICD as an outpatient, but then he is dropping a charge for 99238 for next day. I emailed him and said "This was an outpatient procedure which they stay overnight for " ..

Isn't discharge 99238 included in global of procedure of 33249? There is no inpatient order, anyone help :/
 
99238 would be included global to the 33249. I would bill it as a 99024 which is a post-operative visit used only for tracking purposes. If it was scheduled as outpatient and there is no inpatient order, it would be outpatient. Hope this helps.
