Inpatient scenario:
Patient breaks arm -
Dr. A - Ortho - admits patient, performs surgery on arm
Dr. B - Hospitalist - is consulted for patient's heart failure
Patient develops UTI, turns Septic
Ortho signs off on patient, transfers care to Hospitalist.
Can Hospitalist bill discharge?
If yes, what needs to be documented? Is an order for transfer of care indicated?
Thanks for your feedback!
