Wiki Interpretation billing...?

[Partha]

If a patient has an EEG performed on one day and the physician does the interpretation on another, which date do you use on the professional claims?

 

[LLovett]

The date the doctor read and dictated a report.

Your report has to match your bill. So it wouldn't matter if the technical component was 2 days prior, the technical and professional components don't have to be done at the same time.

IS there any documentation on this...
