Need some help....new to emergency medicine and ortho. Here's a scenerio:
Orthopaedic Trauma surgeon is on-call for a hospital. Patient is brought in by EMS with multiple fractures in multiple areas due to a motorcycle accident. The ortho treats the patient and bills the insurance. Here's the issue....ortho is not contracted with patient's insurance. Insurance denies for that reason. I seem to remember a way to code a service as being provided on an emergency basis. Any thoughts?
