My doctors at my clinic take turns doing rounds at our local hospital. These are the scenarios that I am confused about if anyone can help answer I really need to pick someone's brain.
1) pt arrives in ER and our doctor ends up seeing them that day and decides to admit(date 6/18). the hospital has their admit date on everything as 6/19(the date they got to med surg floor). Do will bill the H+P on 6/18 or 6/19?
2) pt comes in late night and a NP seeing them but the doctor doesn't round on the pt til the next morning and they are released that day. Do/Can we bill a 99235 or do we just have to bill either and admit or a discharge and lose out on the other?
3) if one of our doctors admits 6/1 and the other discharges 6/2 but less than 24 hours, do we bill and H+P 6/1, D/C 6/2? both are in the same group/tax id number
If anyone can help or has an email/contact info, I could REALLY use the help. I just don't want to mess anything up and bill incorrectly. Thank you!
