Hello,
I was wondering if a patient was seen two days ago and was directly admitted at that time for DVT; however, however the admitting HP was done by a resident and there is no attestation in the EHMR, is it accepatable to bill out the office visit for the same day, knowing that the HP will be unbillable???
This always confuses me when they do not have an attestation on their HPs, but they saw the patient in the office on the same day when admission was recommended.
Thanks for the help!
