Code for a SNF discharge

Yes, two codes 99315 and 99316. Use these on the day you do the work and have a face to face service with the patient, even if it is not the day the patient goes home.

There is an article on nursing home discharge in Codapedia. Type the word discharge in the search box and you'll find it.
