We have a patient in the hospital that was seen by the on-call physician on the weekend. Patient was seen and discharged by the on-call physician, but the patient's regular physician is doing the hospital discharge summary. Both physicians are of the same family practice group. Can we bill the discharge services to the physician doing the discharge summary even if that physician did not actually see or exam the patient or does the on-call physician bill for the discharge services. Please advise. Thanks.
