My doctor does not work at the hospital, but the hospital has a PA they hired to help.
The E/M service is authored by the PA, and the documentation states: "Patient was seen and discussed with my doctor. Nothing documented from my doctor in the note at all, he just does a Co-Signature on the note. I just want to confirm that this would not be a billable service since the doctor did not dictate his portion of the E/M service and the PA does not work for our company.
Any help is appreciated before I present my case to him.
