CodeMap® Radiology Briefing: 9/25/2009

Editor's Welcome:

This week, Ms. Stacie Buck discusses the Medicare rules pertaining to which physician should bill for the professional component of radiology services performed for beneficiaries in a Hospital Emergency Room or Department (ER). Often, disagreements develop amongst providers as to whether a radiologist or an emergency room physician should bill for these services. As always, Ms. Buck clearly explains the applicable rules, and then sets forth instructive examples to further educate our subscribers. Please forward any questions, comments, or suggestion via email to me or Ms. Buck.

Sincerely,

Gregory Root, Esq.
