Wiki Rounds by PA

[jfahan]

I work for an orthopaedics group and have a few physicians asking who gets credit for doing rounds on a patient? If the PA and Dr both dictate a round was done who should this service be billed under??
Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

[ARCPC9491]

Is the PA employed by the group or hospital? Are they seeing at different times of the day? same time? Is this a Medicare patient? and if is the PA enrolled in Medicare seperately?

Too many more answers needed... LOL

Is it post-op

If it's post-op there is no separately billable E/M service at all.
