I have a claim where the Resident did the HPI, ROS, PE, & listed the diagnoses, signed the note. However, the Physician did not attest to this Initial admit, and signed the note 2 days later. Can I bill this claim as a Res Only Admit?
No, the service is un-billable without the proper attestation. Query the provide regarding the service and attestation. If the attending saw and examined the patient then he can attest the note and then it will be billable.
