Hello,
I need some help clarifing whether our physician has been billing hopital visits correctly. We are a small family practice and sometimes we have patients who end up in the hospital so one of our physicians get paged that they have a patient in the hospital. The next day the physician has billed either initial inpatient visit or subsequent hospital visit. What we are confused about is whether he should be using those codes since he is billing from the office not the hospital or is he suppose to use office visit codes? If any one can help us that would be great.
Thanks
