When reading the CPT manual it states the "admitting" physician only can bill an initial inpatient code. Is this correct? Or did I interpret it incorrectly?
If a non admitting provider provides a consult can they bill an initial visit (Medicare patient, so consult codes are not billable to our MAC).
Is the patient considered new as an inpatient even if established in the office?
Thank you,
