Billing H&P if doctor didn't deliver baby?

Hello -

I have a physician who often admits her patients to the hospital with the intent of delivering their baby, but then the patient ends up having a C-section. This physician does not do C-sections. She is insistent that I bill for the admission H&P, but it is my understanding that the delivery code will include the admit and H&P.

Can she bill this, or does the admit H&P go to the doctor that does the delivery?

Thanks!:confused:
 
I have a physician who also doesn't perform C-Sections. When this happens I bill her antepartum visits only and then the delivering physician bills out the Delivery and H&P. I don't believe she can bill for the H & P.
