I have read some other posts and haven't found an answer to this question so far. Here is the scenario that I am encountering:
I work with a group of internal medicine doctors who use hospitalists for their patients.
Medicare patient who is an inpatient in the hospital. Patients family comes to our office for an appt with the patients doctor (patient not present) for clarrification on patients hospital course, condition, diagnosis, etc because they feel they are not getting adequate information and/or clarrification from the hospitalist. Our doctor reviews patients hospital records and discusses treatment, prognosis, and options with the patients family.
How can I bill for this??
1. Can I bill to insurance, or do I bill patient family personally?
2. What codes do I use?
