We are a Family Practice. We have a patient that was seen in the ER and admitted to the hospital. She then left against medical advice. Can we still use the new TCM codes?

no, you must have a physician discharge on record as the TCM is based on date of discharge. a leave against advise of provider is not a discharge.
