What do you code when a pt sees a resident doctor for a 632 and then the OBGYN for a pre op for D & C in the same day?

Can we have more information?

I don't understand your question.

I think (I'm no expert on resident coding)

if the resident was in OB rotation then it is an E&M with a modifier 57 that the decision to take to surgery was made at the time of the visit, assuming the attending's note meets the rules for supervising physician. If it was a FP resident that referred the patient to an OB then the FP resident codes the visit as an E&M and the OB codes a consult and 57 and the D&C.
