I had a patient as a inpatient from 12/31/2009 to 1/05/2010 d/c at 0850.No documentation for d/c. Status changed to swingbed on 1/05/2010 at 0850. The Swingbed was from 1/05/2010 to 1/07/2010. Provider only saw the patient on 1/7/2010 and this was to d/c the patient. I sent a note to the provider stating he was missing his d/c note for the inpatient d/c. He states he doesn't need to do a d/c since the patient went to a swingbed. Is this correct?
This is what I have coded so far.
