If more than one physician from the same group, same Tax ID see’s a critical care patient at different times in the day can it be billed as one or does each physician who saw the patient need to bill separately?
You would add all the subsequent critical care visit on that day to the first physician who provided critical care. Then just bill under this one physician.
