Two physicians saw the same patient on the same day. Dr. D admitted the patient to ICU at 4:20pm and billed a 99291 (dx: Seizures, HTN, GI bleed, Alcohol withdrawal). Dr. M was called in and saw the patient at 11:15 pm, spent 60 minutes with the patient in ICU, and billed 99291 (diagnoses: Alcohol withdrawal, HTN, cardiac dysrhythmia, open wound of tongue). What should Dr. M bill?
