Medical Necessity for Inpatient Admission for DRG 246
I made a tip sheet for PCI for cardiologists to use where they dictate after card.cath interventions. They insist on asking me, "If I dictate all these things will this insure that my patients qualify for an overnight stay?" NO!!!!!
I am somewhat beside myself with these folks. They don't seem to get that this is considered an outpatient procedure unless the patient has significant comorbid conditions or a complication develops that they document accurately.
Help-please.
