Yes, this falls under the teaching physician rules. There are several articles in Codapedia on the topic. If you put the word teaching into the search box, the first article has a detailed answer to your question. Also, there is an article by Seth Canterbury about what to do if the attending sees the patient the next calendar day after the intern or resident.

You might also review the article on the attestation statement that the attending must make.
