We have just went live with an anesthesia EMR that time stamps everything that was done.
I'm working on this case that was documented 0709-0927,
then I get to the Acute Pain case that was time stamped that it was placed at 0719 by the provider working on the anesthesia case.
I have a problem telling the insurance carrier that this provider was committed to the anesthesia case ... and then submit a flat fee pain charge ... it feels like double billing, of sorts, to me.
I can not find any articles that reference this situation ... And maybe I'm way off here ... Can somebody please advise.
