During my CPC training we were told that when a patient is referred to a Dr for a consult if that Consulting physician prescribes medications during that visit That meant the consulting physician was taking over care and therefore the initial visit would not be billed as a consult but a new patient E/M code. I need to know if this is correct and is there any documentation to support the correct billing one way or the other? Thanks for all who help!!!!!
