Is the ER considered Internal/Family Medicine? We are having a discussion regarding this. If pt is seen in the ER and then goes to a Family Practice for a new visit I am being told that pt is not new because we have the same tax id and they were seen by the ER Doc. I disagree. If you are seen by the ER doc and go to establish Primary care with family practice, you are new to the family practice. If you have information that confirms this, please let me know where I can prove this. Thanks so much.
