Hello -
I have a Hospitalist who was rounding on patients and when he went to one patient, the person had expired and had been pronounced. The Hospitalist ended up speaking with the family for 30 minutes in the room (unknown if body still in room). I have looked through CPT and I am not finding anything that would be appropriate since physician did not pronounce.
Thanks for any input.
