Inpatient discharge on same day as Heart Cath
Date: May 5, 2021
Question:
I know that a discharge summary is not billed on same day as heart cath in an outpatient setting, but can you charge 99238 on the same day as a heart cath in an inpatient setting? Should we never charge a discharge on the same day as a heart cath?
