Hello: The physician who provided all the ante partum care to the patient did not make it to the hospital in time to deliver the patient. The hospitalist OB is wanting to bill the delivery code and the physician to bill out the antepartum care. Keep in mind the OB doc is taking over all care once they arrive to the hospital. What is the proper protocol for this type of billing? Can the hospitalist and the OB doc come to a financial agreement and allow the OB doc to bill for the delivery or is that fraud? FYI my doc is the OB in route
Thank you
