I have a Dr. Who was called to see a pt. in the E.R. late Aug. 10th and did and h&p and then found out pt. wasn't admitted until Aug. 11th. What are the guidelines for dos to code for? If the h&p is billed with admit date of the 11th and the documentation states the 10th there will be issues with admit date.
Also, If Dr. sees patient on the 10th and does h&p and requests a special bed and pt. isn't admitted until the 11 which dos should be coded?
Any help or guidelines would be appreciated.
