Wiki ED physician coding

[ggparker14]

If coding for the physician side of ED, if a patient received any IVs or is given vaccinations or has lab work done, are these procedures billed by the facility? There isn't any documentation stating that the physician performed these service.


Thanks for any help.

no these procedure are always billed by the facility since it is their supplies their drugs and their nurses that are providing the service.
