Hi everyone:
I am looking for guidance to which regulations (CMS, JC and if possible, NYS Medicaid) as to what is required to be documented for the time billed. A question has come up if the hospital and professional times must match. Some (including me) don't believe so because the physician is still monitoring as the patient is in the recovery room, but some believe that since this would result in different times on the two claims, the claims would be rejected or denied. Any help is greatly appreciated.
TIA!
