I want to make sure that I am correct in this before billing out the procedure.
Dr. A and Dr. B work in the same group practice and are both present for the patient's cardiac procedure at the hospital.
Dr. B dictates and signs the report but lets me know via personal message that the procedure was done by Dr. A.
Dr. B's dictation states:
Dr. A is the primary operator
Dr. B is the Assistant
Dr. A does not sign the report.
Does Dr. A's signature need to be on the report?
I'm pretty sure it has to be but I'm not sure if by Dr. B mentioning Dr. A on his report is sufficient. I also want to address correct billing guidelines with the physicians so that they are aware.
Thank you!
