Here is a scenario we are dealing with:
Patient comes in the office and the doctor recommands arthroscopic surgery as an option for Treatment.
Patient is undecided and wants to go home to think about it. A week later the patient makes an appointment and tells the doctor he wants the surgery. Can the doctor bill an H&P that day?
I hope somebody can help me with this.
Thank you.
 
I think that you can use the pre-op H&P if it is within 15 days of the surgery. I'm not positive about this, at first I thought it was 30 days, but I can't remember.
