Wiki Inpatient consult, transfer to another facility, seen again on same DOS

The patient was inpatient in Facility A. My physician was consulted and saw the patient in the morning (99223 - Medicare patient). The patient was then transfered to Facility B because of CVA. My physician saw the patient again later that day.

How do I bill this since both are on the same DOS but at different facilities? He did not provide time spent.

If I had time spent, could I bill 99223 and prolonged service code? Under which facility location?

Since I don't have time spend, do I bill just one 99223? Under which facility?

Gotta love these situations!
