When our physician sees a patient in the office, and then the patient is admited a couple of days later by another physician group, and this admitting group requests that our physician see their patient in consult at the hospital, is it allowable for our physician to use his office note (less than 30 days old), as his consult note, if he updates it and places it in the patient's hospital record. I know it's okay to do this with H&P's, but is it okay to do this with consults?
Our local hospital says it meets their requirements, but is okay per Medicare?
I appreciate your assistance with this
