minor surgery dermatology
My Primary Provider DX wart and sends the Patient to the Dermatologist for the
wart removal. My question is can the Dermatologist bill for a consult or an E/M visit
Both Providers are under the same tax id number. Please help.

Sounds like an E&M
the diagnosis is established and the patient was sent specifically for the removal, not for an evaluation and recommendation

wart removal only
For a minor skin procedure, with an established diagnosis, bill only for the procedure.
