My office has some conflicting view points on how to bill a NEW PATIENT office visit.
I am part of a group or orthopaedic specialists. I have 2 hand specialists, 2 pain management specialists, also 2 foot specialists, among others.
Can hand specilaist Dr. 1 bill out for a NEW PATIENT office visit if a Dr. in the same practice under the SAME TAX ID just billed out for a NEW PATIENT, let's say, 2 days prior?
We have one party that is under the assumption that because DR. 1 is a hand specialist, that he can bill out a new patient consult. Then we have another party that thinks that unless it is PAIN MANAGEMENT, you can not bill out for a new patient consult.
Hope this makes sense.
