Hi everyone I have question my doctor is a family physician she was called into the E.R. this weekend because the patient wanted to be admitted and she subsequently spent a lot of time with the patient but the patient did not get admitted I feel like she should be reimbursed something, but not sure if there is a CPT appropriate. I don't think you can bill out two E.R. visits even if the are different docs right? Thank you so much for your help!

You can bill for multiple physician E&M services in the ER as long as the providers are of different specialties. Since your provider is in family practice and not emergency medicine, your provider is eligible to bill for that service you shouldn't have any payment problems with this, and you would use same the ER E&M codes as the ER physician (99281-99285).
