Inpatient discharge coding
Hey everyone, for those of you who are inpatient consultants, not the primary physician, how do you charge for the day of discharge?
I have been billing as a follow up however I am helping more with discharge paperwork, DME and coordinating with case management and the patient. This made me wonder if I could charge for a discharge code instead of the follow up.
What are the guidelines for this? Thanks!
