Hello,
We had a seminar last night with a physican that knows alot about E&M coding. I am disagreeing with him on a certain grey area. I would like to have any advice regarding this subject because I have to sell it to him.
Okay, Senario: Dr. A Family practice, has a patient with hemtachezia, Dr. A sends him to Dr. B surgeon for a colonoscopy.
Does Dr. B charge a consult visit or a new patient E&M?
The seminar Dr., says it is a consult. I don't agree because Dr. B is going to assume care of that patient for a known problem. He isn't going to give his advise/opinion and send him back to Dr. A.
Any feedback or opinion's would be great!
