I have a patient who was seen and treated by one of our physicians in the ER on 3/5/09 at 9:30pm and was sent home from the ER by same physician at 6:30am on 3/6/09. He has dictated a “short stay” note indicating the date of admit was 3/5/09 and date of discharge was 3/6/09.
The hospital has classified this patient as an EA or emergency admit. The physician gave the CPT code 99224 which of course is not a valid code.
Is this classified as a 99234-99236?
