My cardio group has one doctor who is actually able to interpret nuclear at the hosp although he only goes to that hosp on certain days. The other docs can read them but not actually able to do the dictation and sign. They ususaly do not wait. So if that doctor only reads all the nuclears and stress interps on one day is that the days that I bill? I would not bill the dos of the test but bill the read/sign date he actually interepreted. I am trying to explain to doctor that if he interps after the patient is discharged then we risk not getting payment due to auth only covering from admit to discharge. Am I correct or can I bill on the dos of the test?
