I'm new to the ED billing and need some clarification, please. A pt comes in ED with a dislocated finger. Ortho is called in for an attempt to relocate the finger......how is the E/M code billed? Or is it simply a consult code? or both with a modifier? Thanks for your help.
 
Please clarify

Please clarify ... are you coding for the ED physician
or for the Ortho doc
or for both
or for the hospital?
