A little background, the orthopedic surgeon performed surgery on a patient, patient was discharged from the hospital, and then moved to the Rehab. Center. Need help with the CPT code for the surgeon visiting the patient in the Acute Rehabilitation Center of the hospital. Thanks.

99024
The code to use is 99024, postoperative visit which is included in the surgical package. POS would be the rehab facility.
