If the documentation says "Patient referred by Dr. Jones." can this still be billed as a consult?
We have done a lot of work educating our docs on losing the Refer and documenting Consult, but a few of our older physicians don't see the difference. Does it really matter if they use the word 'refer' rather than 'consult'?
Thanks for your help. You guys are so smart!
