Hello,
Looking for some guidance- we have two hospital physicians that are training to do colonoscopies in our endoscopy unit. The GI specialist is in the room doing the supervision of the hospital MD- we are wondering if we are able to bill under the hospitalist because they are doing the majority of the procedure. We are not a teaching facility and the hospitalists are actual physicians- the teaching physician rules are specifically done with residents and interns so we are unsure if the applies to regular physicians.
We are requiring the hospitalist to do 140 cases supervised before going on their own.
Thanks
Steph
