Hi,
My scenario is this: I have physician who, when he sees and inpatient, has a fully credentialed Nurse practitioner see the patient first and they will document the whole note. The physician then copies and pastes that note making a change to the medications to be given, but not much more. Is that sufficient to bill under his name? I am a bit unclear as to how much a physician needs to add to be able to consider a note "theirs".
Any guidance is appreciated.
