Wiki Multiple Doctor Practice - hospital billing

[houmaob1714]

If one of our doctors admits a patient and another doctor within our practice sees the patient on a subsequent day and discharges the patient, which doctor should each day be billed under? Should we bill all dates under the admitting physician or does each day have to be billed with the doctor that signed off on the progress note for that day (even if they are in the same practice, same Tax ID #)?

You should bill the service under the provider who performed the service.
