H&p Billed On Date Of Date Of Cath
It's My Understanding That An Admission To Observation Is Not Billable On The Date Of An Outpatient Heart Cath. It's Considered Part Of The Pre Procedure Service. Does Anyone Know Whether An H&p Is Billable If The Outpatient Cath Turns Into An Inpatient Stent Insertion? Would The Cardiologist Be Able To Bill The Inpatient H&p (already Documented Via The Admission To Observation) If He Is The Admitting Doctor Post Cath/stent On The Same Date? This Situation Is A Little "grey" For Me. Thanks.
