I have a question, I have always thought that when an established physician joins a new physician group (changes his TIN) that when he brings his patient's with him, those patients are considered established and not new. I am having a discussion with another coder who believes that the physician can bill his old patients as a new patient visit because he is new to the group. I believe this was addressed and changed in 2007 but I need to confirm what is the proper and compliant way to bill. Appreciate any responses with a resource for reference.
