I do not think there is a CPT code for a discharge visit. I work in a SNF as a PTA and we do not get paid for the day a patient discharge. Now you can, however, use the patient's final visit(s) and use the normal cpt codes and incorporate your discharge planning such as HEP for 97110, 97116 gait training outside with walker or stairs for community integration and family/patient safety education 97530. Just document your dc plans under those codes stating you instruct, train and educated patient. Since we do not get paid for a discharge visit, it is good to always plan ahead ensure you cover all your areas. Hope that helps.
