Wiki Observation E & M same day as Cath
- Thread starter jennyjlm
- Start date
I don't think there are any global days on a cath procedure so if the observation admit is above and beyond the routine pre and postoperative work for the procedure on that date and documentation supports then I believe you can report the admit with a 25 modifier.
