patient has outpatient procedure, then admitted later from the recovery area due to dizziness and anemia. Can I bill for that admit? My doctor discharges the patient the next day - can I bill for this discharge? If I can bill what codes should I be billing?
 
It depends. Does the procedure have any global days? Is the dizziness/anemia a result/complication of the procedure? Is your provider the attending for the admission? The initial hospital /discharge codes are in the E&M section of CPT.
