We have two doctors that are in the same practice and same specialty. Dr. A did an inpt consult at the request of the admitting md upon admission. The patient was in the hospital for a long time. The patient developed a totally new problem and dr. B was requested to see patient. We billed consults for both doctors and the second one is being denied by medicare. I know that doctors from the same group cant bill more than one consult during same admission, but does it matter if there is a totally knew problem?
Thanks for the help
