Hello All,

Just wondering if I could get some guidance on billing discharge when an RN pronounces the patient deceased? CMS guidelines state " only the physician who personally performs the pronouncement of death shall bill for the face to face hospital discharge day management service, codes 99238 or 99239".

Thanks in advance for your help
