My doctor sometimes will see a patient in his office and directly admit the patient. I know that an admit overrides the ov, but sometimes he does not see the pt in the hosp until the next day. What he wants to bill (for example) is: his office consult on 01/11/08, and his hosp admit on 01/12/08(after all he did not see the pt initially in the hosp until the next day). On another occasion he did not bill an admit at all just a hosp f/u. He does not want to loose the revenue from the office consult... Any thoughts???
