Wiki ER and Observation

[msalvatore]

This has been brought up by my billing staff and I am not finding anything. We are a critical assess hospital, are there any rules or guidelines to bill when a patient comes in thru the ER and is admitted to Observation by the same physician. Can we bill for the ER and the OBs?
