A patient has surgery as an outpatient, and is admitted for pain to observation statuss. Her PCP (who did not do the surgery) visits the patient, did a short physical exam and recommends she follow up with him in the clinic in a week.
The PCP is wanting to charge an E/M for seeing her. Since he didn't perform the surgery, can he charge for it?
Thanks!
