Wiki E&m question

[DADAMC]

If you have a patient that comes in for an injury and is examined by a primary care who then refers the patient to a specialist within the same practice, can the primary care and the specialist both bill E&M codes on the same day?

As long as they are in different specialties and medical necessity supports care by both specialties, then yes.
