One of my drs. admitted a patient one day (99222) and discharged him the following day but reported it as 99232, although he said he did the discharge, but by my understanding, didn't dictate it as a discharge. He stated he didn't think he had to do as a discharge if it was done within a 48 hour period. Is this so? Would it make a difference in an audit? This sounds totally off to me.
