If a surgeon is consulted by Same Day Surgery and admits the patient following his consultation (same day) for a more extensive procedure, would you code his E&M service as a consultation or hospital admission (initial hospital care)? Note: the referring physician continued to see the patient

Could you tell me where this info is documented?
