Thanks Michele and FBbilling. I appreciate your responses, but unfortunately, I'm still unsure on how to proceed.
If I am a PCP and get an unassigned patient admitted to the hospital on my service, I see them and discharge them and then have them follow up with me in my office- is my office visit 20x or 21x.
If I am a consultant and I do an inpatient consult on a patient who upon discharge is referred to my office for follow up- is my office visit 24x or 21x?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
-Rich.
