scenario: Dr.A is on schedule from 7am to 7 pm. Dr. A got called for a c-section case. A pt needs epidural placement, but Dr. A can't do it (he's in OR for C/S), so they called another physician Dr. B. So Dr. B places the epidural, has contact with patient for 30 mins., then leaves. In the meantime, Dr. A is done with the C/S case, and nurse tells Dr. A that Dr. B placed the cath on Patient 2. now the question is: how do i bill for Dr. A & Dr. B? This is not a split case because it happened between 7am -7pm.
most insurances asks for the contact time in this scenario Dr. B has contact time of 30 mins. And Dr A on the otherhand, after the c/s case, he did not have contact with patient 2 but he is the dr on schedule. so how would i bill this and how should documentation look like.
confusing i know!!! pls help!!!
