One of our providers is employed by the ER and by our office. If the provider is working in the ER and then the patient comes into our office as a new patient are we allowed to bill a new patient visit?

The provider's employment with the ER has no connection to our office.

Thanks in advance for any help that you may be able to provide.

I am leaning toward yes, they would be a new patient in the office since the ER would be billed under a diffrent tax id and "specialty". Wondering what others think on this though..
