CODING HELP!

Can anyone tell me how to bill for a Pediatrician (in a private practice) who sees his patient in the ER to admit them with a RESIDENT and the RESIDENT does a lumbar puncture while the pediatrician oversees the procedure. OR Tell me where I read up on this type of billing?

Thank you for ANY guidance.

Physician attestation

The physician must attest to his own personal presence and participation in the history, exam, and medical decision making for any E/M and/or direct presence for the procedure performed.

This must be a declarative statement added to any documentation provided by the resident.

THEN the supervising physician signs/dates the documentation.

You then bill the service under the supervising physician's name/number.

Hope that helps.
