I code for an orthopeadic clinic where we have an outpatient office and work throughout local hospitals as truama surgeons, when we have a new pt visit in our clinic (99202) and we make the decision that sx needs to be performed emergently and we send them to one of the local hospitals and the doc will meet them there or set them up with one of the other partners in our practice do we bill for the office visit or do we bill for the H&P in the hospital,and does anyone know where I can find the guidelines for this?? thanks in advance!
