Example: New PT comes in to practice with chest pain. Problem list is clean, due to PT being new to the practice.
Dr. orders a series of blood tests, but has no diagnosis that meet medical necessity.
Can the Dr. wait for Lab results to come in, to then assign a diagnosis that does meet medical necessity for LABs ordered?
To my understanding, only ERs can wait for results to blood work before billing. Not outpatient practices.
