Wiki Maternity care done by 2 providers

[kwilliams0507]

We have 3 OBGYN's under our tax ID. We had a patient whom saw the first provider for 4 antepartum visits before she switched to the other provider, saw him for 6 visits, delivery and postpartum. Being that we are under the same umbrella (tax ID) should the first provider bill for antepartum care only & the second provider bill for antepartum care 4-6 visits, delivery and pp? Any insight would be greatly appriciated!

different providers

If you are billing under 1 tax ID, you can bill global with the last provider being the rendering physician. It wouldn't make any sense to split bill the claims as it is within the same practice.

But, we would have to allow the insurance to recoup the previous payment? Or bill global as a corrected claim with original ID number?
