We have a specific E/M situation at our hospital and would truly appreciate
some expert advise with respect to E/M coding. We have just assumed the
billing responsibility for the Hospitalist program.
Psych MD admits patient (psych dx). Psych MD is part of the Psych
group at the hospital. Hospital requires History and
Physical but this is outside the scope of practice for the Psych MD.
The H&P is performed by a Hospitalist on the same day as the admission.
How would the Psych MD and the Hospitalist each code their services?
A reference to any published guidelines would be most helpful - we have
been unable to locate anything to fit this specific situation
Thanks!
