Can someone offer me some advice?
1) I have been asked to "audit" a surgeon who on many occasions will see patients in the ED at the request of another physician. About 30-40% of the time he ends up doing surgery on these patients on the same day - can he bill a consultation for those visits or has he assumed the care of the patients by performing surgery on them?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
