I have a question. A hospital wants my doctor to start an acute pain service at their hospital. Before I say yes, I wanted to see if we get reimbursed with post surgical pain consults. We will not be the physician performing the surgery. This hospital is a very heavy surgical hospital. From what I know, the post op pain fee is bundled into the cost of the surgery. Is this correct? Is there a way around this? What if we insist on seeing the patient prior to surgery? Would it then be possible to get paid? If we can't get reimbursed, is this true for both medicare AND private insurance?
