How do you bill if the same doctor or group discharged a patient in the morning and then readmitted later, same DOS, same diagnoses?
I know Medicare and most payors would deny this since they are bundled w/ and indicator of 0.
Do you just bill a new admit only and combine the documentation for a possible higher level of service?
I know you can do this w/ regular rounds if the same doc or docs in the same group/same specialty see the same pt on same DOS.. just not sure if it would apply in this situation.
I can't find any guidelines regarding this particular scenario.
Thanks!
