I have a provider that is questioning the credit for test order and/or reviewed and interpretation of test. I will provide a scenarios.
1. He sees patient and will have patient return to office in 1 year with EKG. He does not count the order of EKG with this visit. When patient follows up in 1 year he then counts the EKG results for review. Can he receive credit for review at follow up appointment since he did not receive credit for order at previous visit?
2. For all EKGs, ECHOs, Stress test ( office bills for procedure) he wants to receive credit for independent interpretation of test. Can he still receive credit for interpretation once he does the interpretation /follow up with patient?
Any feedback is appreciated!!!
