Doctor Coverage

(1/1)

RobertMartinezJr:
How do you code and what modifier do we use to charge when the doctor covers for another doctor at the hospital. 

Michele:
It depends on what services he does, you would code the same whether he is covering for another provider or he is seeing his own patients.

There is a modifier that may be applicable, Q5 - Service Furnished By Substitute Physician Reciprocal.
