I have a scenario that I would appreciate some thoughts on.
I have Dr. A who completes a note but leaves out a date of service, a diagnosis or time and I have Dr. B, who is in the same group practice, who adds an addendum with that information. Is this ok to be billed under Dr. A?
The documentation I have found regarding addendums doesn't specifically mention it must be the same provider who did the initial documentation but I can't help but think that the addendum should be completed by the provider who did the original documentation.
