The patient had a lap Cholecystectomy w grams by one of my doctors.
Another doctor in the same office was covering for the first physician. There were atypical complications-hemorrhaging. The second covering doctor also used diagnosis of: cardiomyopathies and unspecified disease of the pancreas.
The patient was never dismissed from the hospital after the first surgery.
Can the second doctor bill an initial visit because of the complications or should a subsequesnt visit be billed?
Thank you for the input.
