Please help!
I thought I had this all figured out.... obviously not
We have a group of cardiologists and we recently added an EP doctor. They all bill under the same tax ID#.
If our cardiologists refer a patient to the EP doctor, is this considered a new patient? We are having a difference of opinions here.
In the hospital, again, our cardiologist sees the patient, then the EP doctor or vice versa the EP does a procedure so the patient is now in a global period and the cardiologist sees the patient for a different dx.
I am getting denials all over the place. Should I even spend the time to fight them? I was told the EP doctor was credentialed as an EP doctor, but the insurance companies don't seem to be seeing that way. Do I need to help them see the light (haha)
I'm sure this isn't a new issue. I so appreciate any help/guidance!
