Thank you

I have a question:
A urologist called our physician on 5/2/09 and asked if we wouild take care of a patient urologist wrote for an admission so our doc thought he was asking for a consult but when she looked at the orders the urologist did a consult not and admission and our doc did the H&P his orders say admit to hospitalist service -- how should we correctly
bill?

Laura,
On the WPS Medicare site it states "..only the provider can perform the History of Present Illness (HPI). www.wpsmedicare.com/part_b/education/em_checklist.shtml
At least I have something i writing to present to my providers. Let me know if you come across anything better or in addition to.

Can you bill an admission and a sub visit on the same day, same dx?
