I have the following scenario I need help on.
The patient was inpatient in the psychiatric unit and experienced Bradycardia. They took her out of the unit and put her in Observation at 6:00 pm so the provider did not see the patient until the following day.
The patient was seen and cleared to go back to the unit by the provider.
How would you code the visit by the provider? If you have the backup to support your answer please let me know where you found it. I'm am in an audit disagreement about this. I just need clarification either way.
Thanks!
