I hope someone can help me If a patient goes to an office visit and then is sent to the ER from there and the ER doc calls in a internal medicine doctor that does an H&P with the understanding the patient will be admitted can you please answer these questions for me:
1. Can I charge the ER visit, (I am pretty certain I can)
2. Can I charge a consult for the internal medicine doc that did the H&P? (I would say it would be an outpatient consult as the patient was discharged)
3. Can the office that sent the patient to the ER bill a visit? (I don't think so but I am not sure)
Thanks for any and all input.
