Patient was in hospital for 3 days for acute CVA. She was discharged to assisted living facility, at which point she fell. She returned to hospital 3 hours after discharged with a fractured hip.
Can we bill and be paid for discharge and admission on the same date? She has Medicare as insurance. I was thinking that they were bundled into the highest subsequent that both notes would support, but then read somewhere that is not ok for Medicare.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
