What would I charge for this scenario?
Our PA does an H&P on a patient in ED, and per phone call to the supervising MD (same tax ID#), the patient is admitted to the MD's service. It isn't until the next day that the MD sees patient in the hospital.
My question is: In our hospital mid levels are not allowed admitting privileges.
What am I able to charge for the admit? Patient was admitted to MD on 4/24/12 but face to face from MD wasn't until 4/25/12. Can I use the documentation taken by the PA on the previous day and combine with documentation from MD for E/M level? Would I charge subsequent visit or admit? What date is used?
Thanks for any help you can give.
