Hi all,
I am looking for official guidelines or a website somewhere that states that residents are billable ON THEIR OWN without having to have attending documentation during the following hours: Monday-Friday after 4:30 or 5:00pm (I'm unsure which time), weekends and holidays.
I was taught as an ER coder that residents are separately billable, only during the times listed above, however, I have no documentation to prove that. Is there a guideline, or an article that supports this? Can someone please help, or point me in the right direction? Is this a current billing practice? I appreciate whatever assistance is given.
Thanks so much!
