We have a question in regards to transferring a patient and newborn to another hospital facility during the post partum period. We have patients who transfer to our facility from other groups with the same tax ID number, they had their antepartum and delivery with another practice (again same tax id), they are transferred to our facility and our physicians due to the need for NICU care and the delivering hospital's NICU is full. So with that being said, the other practice goes ahead and bills the global. Our physicians are asking if they are going to get paid for their work due to the transfer of the mom. Some practices are billing out inpatient codes for the few days they are under their care. Is this appropriate/correct? Thanks
