Any help much appreciated with this; a provider whose specialty is as an ED physician sees a patient who is referred to him for wound care in the hospital. He does an appropriate E&M and does his wound care.
6 months previously, the same patient is seen in the ER of the same hospital by a different ED physician (for chest pain I think). Both ED physicians have the same specialty # under their NPI information.
Is this wound care patient a new patient or an established patient?
Any constructive help will be gratefully received.
