i know this has been asked many times, but i've been asked by a co-worker and want to make sure we're getting it right here..
pt seen in the office, provider decides to admit. when coder asked the doc about a missing admit note in the hospital he stated that he saw that patient in the clinic so that was the admit note. because this is just a clinic note (with the decision to admit) with no hospital admit note do we only bill the office visit? does he need to write an h&p (we can then combine with the OV) to bill the 99221-99223?
thanks so much
