Billing a hospital vist and stress test in the same day.
How can we bill a physician visit when he sees a patient who is admitted in the hospital, his daily visit and then if the patient has a stress test the same day?
We in the office bill for the visit, and the hospital bills the testing.
re: Billing a hospital vist and stress test in the same day.
The physician is seeing the patient while the patient is an inpatient? If the provider is supervising and doing the interp/report you can bill 93016 and 93018. If just interp/report, then 93018.
Need a 25 modifier on the EM visit, assuming the provider was doing work beyond just the stress test
