nursing home admission

Hello all,
If I see a patient in the hospital or in the office - hence a existing patient, and then follow them into the nursing home, do I bill a nursing home admit code (99304-99306) or a nursing home fu (99307-99310).

admit code

every time they are admitted you can bill the admit code. Your relationship does not count, same as hospital admissions

coding nursing home readmits

If an nursing home patient I admited recently, gets sick and has a 24hour hospital stay, when they come back - do I bill a admit code or is that just a followup. Is there any different documentation requirements for readmits or is there no such thing as a readmit from medicare's coding POV (point of view).
