Hi -
Hospitalist A admits a patient at 2 AM, documents and bills prior to going off shift at 7 AM. At 3 PM, Hospitalist B sees patient and decides to discharge patient. Hospitalist A is not present.
How should this be billed given the fact that "A" has already submitted and documented and initial inpatient admission and "B" dictated a discharge.
Hospitalists are of the same group/speciality.
Thanks,
