Podiatrist sees patient for wound care visit. Documentation notes direct admit to hospital in regard to wound. Podiatrist can not admit to hospital. Either a hospitalist or primary care must admit for him.
My question is can the podiatrist charge an E/M eventhough patient was admitted on the same day.
In the same scope, if Doc A sees patient but Doc B admits on same day for same condition, can Doc A charge an E/M.
Thanks for the help.
