I have a question regarding consults:
Lets say a patient comes in January 1, 2010 because of a broken bone, patient is admitted by Dr. Smith. On January 4, Dr. Smith sees the patient again and calls the cardiology to consult because the patient has Afib -- what do you bill for the cardiologist? Would Dr. Smith billing include the AI modifier?
Also: Would modifier AI be added to all of the subsequent visits done by the admitting physician?
