Non Direct Prolonged Services

For non direct prolonged services: can you add up times from different dates to reach your 30-74 minutes for 99358 ?

Example:

10 minutes on records review on 5/10/18
10 mins on 5/11/18
15 mins on 5/12

Total 35 Minutes records review = 99358

I am pretty sure NOT and that it has to be on the same day. I know the time doesnt have to be constant on that date of service and you can add it if it’s all on the same date but I dont think you can add up times from different dates. My provider says you can… thoughts?

thanks,
