If a patient is seen in the ER and the physician decides they need to be admitted and turns them over to the hospitalist to be admitted, can I charge for both physicians if they are under the same group NPI number?
I know if the ER physician admits the patient I can not charge for both but only the Inpatient initial charge----however, these are two different Docs, using the same NPI...is it double billing?
