pattil88:
A general surgeon can do a wide variety of procedures. In my experience emphasis seems to be on abdominal procedures (intestines, esophagus, stomach, colon, gallbladder, bile ducts, etc.) and laparascopic/exploratory minimal invasive procedures. It's also not uncommon for them to perform dermatology procedures, especially in areas where there are limited specialist services available. As far as diagnosis codes go, they can be all across the board.

Thank you all for your responses, sorry it took me so long to reply, the General Surgeon disappeared for a while, and I got busy with other doctors, different specialties, and now he's back again... thanks for your help.

My physician is the medical director of a pulmonary rehab facility. He has to be available for the pts when patients are in the lab and he has to interview patients once a month. Then he has to approve the treatment plan.  Do you know how and if we can bill for this?

Thank you,
Amber

Michele:
I would think that most of his services would be reimbursed in the form of a salary from the facility?  For having to be available?  But if he sees the patients I would think that would be billable as an E&M service depending on what is involved.  I haven't been involved with a situation like this - anybody else have any experience??

APruitt2045:
Does anyone know if there are CPT codes for nursing home consults?
