If a pt is seen in the office for a pcp and admits it to the hospital the same day, can a Dr charge an admission?
Thank you ;)

If the Dr is the admitting physician he can bill the admit but not the office level. If he just sent the patient to the ER he can bill the office level. I hope this helps :)
