Hi,
I'm a little confused! Ok, I have a patient that came in to see one of my doctors and then that doctor refers the patient to another (same group, same specialty) for a consult and I&D. Can I bill the f/u for Dr. A and consult with I&D for Dr. B on the same DOS? Why or why not?
This confuses me since I was told that if a patient comes in for E/M with a NP for counseling(regarding family history or being a possible genetic carrier, etc) and then is seen by the doctor (to discuss further surgery options) after the visit with NP on the same DOS, only one E/M can be billed(under the Dr as preferredd to billing under NP) and also using prolonged E/M codes if applicable.
Any explanations or supporting documentation/info is soooo greatly appreciated! Thanks for all your time!!
