Hi all-
I have a question and here it is:
Labor and Devilery--
Patient had Epidural at 1:30 pm by Dr A.
Then, Dr B comes in at 7am and takes over case for Dr. A
At 16:20-17:39 a C/S is done by Dr. B.
Then a post-op f/u is done by Dr. B the next day.
So, how do I bill for Dr. B?
I know that you cannot bill for 01968 alone. I know Dr. A would be the 01967. I was always told to bill for the AA who placed the epidural for the entire case. But I'm just not sure as a different doctor did the C/S.
Please clarify,
Thanks
