Hi everyone! I am a coder/biller for a family doctor who see his patients in the hospital. When he gives me the info to bill out the hospital visits, sometimes he will say " seen pt one time, short stay". Usually it is the date that the pt is discharged from the hospital (i.e admit 10/7, discharge 10/8), so I bill it as a discharge 99217 or 99238 (depending on inpt or obvs). Is this correct way to bill? I just want to make sure I am not doing this wrong.
Thanks
