I have three doctors in my practice, and I came across a senerio where one of my Drs. admitted the patient, and another Dr. discharged the patient on another day. Can I bill the discharge 99238 for that day or do I need to bill a subsequent 99232? I read the guidelines, but found them confusing. Thanks.
