I work for a PCP in a private office... he does have privileges at the hospital next door. My question is we had a patient seen on 5/11/17 @ 19:45 that he was called on and he ordered the admit to obs... however he did not see the patient until 5/12/17 AM then discharged the patient on 5/12/17 @ 16:05. It's under the 24 hr obs mark.... SO my question is do I bill this with a 99234 or as a 5/11 - 99218 and 5/12 - 99217 ?
Thank you in advance for your help!
