Patient was seen in the office by Provider A to confirm pregnancy. A Urine HCG test and Ultrasound are done. Due to patients symptoms of syncope and hypotension, the patient was sent to the ED. While in the ED, Provider B of the same practice as provider A, admits the patient to surgery, where treatment of the discovered ectopic is undertaken. The patient is discharged home the same day.
The E/M visit from Provider A is not separately billable, correct? Since Provider A and B are billed under the same Tax ID, we couldn't have a new patient office visit and then the surgery the same date? CPT 59151 has a 90-day global period, which would go back to one day prior to the surgery.
However, I can bill for the Ultrasound and HCG test done in the office, right?
Thank you for your help!
