If both the MD & PA see the PT face to face in the hospital but on different days, can the E/M encounter be billed under the MD's name/NPI?
The only thing I can seem to find to address this is pg 38 on: https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Guidance/Manuals/downloads/clm104c12.pdf
where it says:
1. If the NPP sees a hospital inpatient in the morning and the physician follows with a later face-to-face visit with the patient on the same day, the physician or the NPP may report the service.
However, I can't seem to find anywhere where it explicitly addresses if the PA & MD see the PT face to face but on different days. Does anyone here know the answer?
