Hello fellow Coders.


We have serveral physicians that work in several hospitals. When one of our physicains see's a patient in hospital A as a consulatation and transfers the patient to hospital B where the patient is admitted for a cath, we have been billing for the consultation and not the H&P.

Is this correct?

I would love to know how others are billing in this senerio, I am having trouble finding documemtation that explaines this!!

Thank you,
Emily
 
Consultations vs. H&P

:)I am having some of the same barriers. I have surgeons that consult in the ER and later might have to admit the patient. They only dictate a consult with all the elements of a H&P. I would like clarification on if I need documentation of both consult & H&P or just H&P or consult.

Any advice?::)
