I have a scenerio that continues to be in question:
Pt is seen in ER and is admitted to our group of physicians, (or to the physician that is on call on that date). The case is discussed at time of admission with one of our fellows, (as we are a teaching hospital). My question is, because we are unable to bill for the services rendered by the fellow on the day of admission, can we bill an initial inpatient visit even though it may be the day after the admission that the admitting provider sees the patient, or sometimes even the day after that?
Also, Medicare only, should we use the AI modifier?
