A hospital's emergency physician billing procedures and fee schedules may not have kept pace with changes in the make-up of emergency room personnel. Revisions require thorough analysis of coding procedures, payer and patient data, Medicare rates, and breakdowns of collections. A successful analysis may yield improved collections, increased physician compensation, and separate billing by emergency physicians.
