Hi!
My provider is contracted with a facility. On 10/7 she did a consult, code 99223, she did a follow-up on 10/8 code 99232. In her notes for 10/8 it says she worked directly with the pt for 30 mins and she counseled the family for 30mins. Can I use code 99358 instead of 99232? If this is not correct how should I code the inpt service plus the counseling?
Thank you all in advance!
