RE: possible child neglect/postop global
One of our physicians did a same day surgery on a 2 yr old. The parents left the hospital before he could talk to them and a family member who stayed with the child said they shouldn't send the child home with the parents as they would not take care of her. They ended up keeping the child overnight, called in child services and then the relitive changed stories and said it would be alright to send her home. The physician went in that morning and spent a lot of time with the child and staff getting this all sorted out. Can he bill anything as this wasn't a typical postop visit?
Thanks
