Hello,
The FQHC that I work for just hired a Podiatrist. I was asked by another co-worker that codes, if an established patient should be coded under this provider as an established patient or as a new patient (this is the first time the patient will be seeing this provider at our facility) and the patient is a regular that comes to us for other services.
I thought that the patient would initially be coded under the Podiatrist as a "new patient" since this is there first time seeing him and not established.
Does anyone else have experience with this?
Thanks
