Does anyone know what the correct way to bill for the following scenerio?
A patient was brought back to a room and the intake was done by a medical assistant, the cast applied from the emergency room was removed, and we took x-rays of the patients hand. While the patient was in the exam room waiting to see the physician he had a seizure. We called 911 and the patient was taken to the hospital by ambulance. There was not a diagnosis determined and the patient was not given any type of treatment options. We were unable to do a complete exam but is there a way we can still bill for the procedures that were done on that date of service? Or, is it ok to bill for all of the charges on the date that the patient came back for the complete examination?
Thank you in advance for your responses.
