We have a Dr who's practice is closing, Internal Medicine. Pt transfers to Family practice within the same Tax id. Because this is a different speciality, wouldn't the pt be new? CPT states "A new pt is one who has not rec'd any professional svcs frm the Physician or another physician of the SAME SPECIALTY who belongs to the SAME GROUP practice within the past 3 yrs." I say pt is new but am not getting favorable conversations. Thanks for your help.
