I'm really not happy asking this question but I want to be sure I am right before I go back to the providers.
I have a consult note in front of, beautiful note. No date of service anywhere. There isn't even a dictation date and he didn't date it when he signed it. This is at least 6 months old. I am thinking I can't bill for this at all.
The patient was in the hospital for over a week and I can tell they asked for CVT to come in on 2/9/09, but I have no idea when they actually did the consult. The PA did the service and they don't keep track of who they see in the hospital. Which is why we missed billing it back in Feb more than likely.
Thanks in advance.
