Patient has been inhouse for a few days. Attending physician sees patient during the day for follow-up visit. Afterhours the patient becomes combative. The on-call physician is called in for restraint order. I looked at the note and was thinking to code as 99232-25 since the attending already saw the patient during the day (physicians are in same group billing as 1) but then thought 90899 (unlisted psychiatric service or procedure) might be better.
What do you think it should code as?
Thanks!
