Hi all,
I have an E&M question for you. My EP doc sees patients in the office to evaluate their symptoms, then decides to do an ablation at the hospital in a few weeks. When they show up for the outpatient procedure at the hospital, he does an H&P that morning. Is this billable? One one hand, he already made the decision. On the other hand, maybe he's making sure nothing's changed with the patient since the last visit was a few weeks ago.
Thoughts?
Thanks!!! And I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving tomorrow!!!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
