Moore, Kent J.
- Abstract
The article answers the question regarding submission of code for partner's hospitalized patient. CPT's hospital care codes are "per day" codes, which represent all services provided on that date. Where a physician is on call for or covering for another physician, the patient's encounter will be classified as it would have been by the physician who is not available. Generally, code should not be submitted for attending to partner's patient. However, there are a couple of different situations which allow for different codes to be submitted by different physicians on the same date.
