Hi,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Our Physicians are employees of the hospital and bill under 1 tax ID number.
We are a cardiac center.
For patient's with multivessel disease, the thoracic surgeons want to do a Cabg LIMA/LAD and have the interventional cardiologist stent the remaining vessels either same setting or within the same admission. Since the CABG has a 90 day global, how could the interventional cardiologists get paid for their portion of the procedures?
I was reading up on modifier 58 and I'm not sure if that would apply because they are not of the same specialty. They are in the same group which modifier states they can be in the same group. The same specialty has me scratching my head.
Again, please keep in mind:
Our Physicians are employees of the hospital and bill under 1 tax ID number.
Thank you,
