Assume patient from nursing home is admitted to hospital on 9/1/14 with pneumonia. Doctor A is the Primary care doctor that does the admission. On 9/7/14, doctor A goes on vacation and asks Doctor B to cover. On 9/7, Doctor B sees patient and does a 92232 note. On 9/8, Doctor B does a discharge summary (99238) and transfer patient back to SNF. On 9/9, Doctor B goes to nursing home and does a H&P and signs all the orders. Should Dr. B bill for initial nursing home visit 93304/93305/99306 for 9/9? Or would it be a followup nursing home visit 99307-99310?
