Can someone please point me in the right direction, I am an ed coder for both pro-fee and facility and we are a teaching hospital, we don't have shared visits, I had a chart where Dr. A started the case and did a laceration repair, Dr. B came and took over the case and discharged the pt so I gave the E/M to DR. B and just coded the laceration repair for Dr.a, I sent the pro-fee charge over to the billing co and they sent it back wanting an E/M level for Dr. A, I thought there was a guideline that if a Dr. does only a procedure that he could bill for that w/o an E/M, wouldn't that apply to this situation? or no?..thanks for any and all help...alice
