If a physician or another physician in the General Cardiology specialty and group saw a patient and then the physician or another physician Specialty changed to Heart Failure or Electrophysiology and they saw that same patient (less than 3 years), would the patient be billed as a new patient or established? Please answer with the definition of New and Established Patient and possibly the Decision Tree for New vs Established in mind. I'm not asking what would be ethical, I'm asking what is allowed by guidelines and/or regulation. Thanks.
