30.6.5 - Physicians in Group Practice 
(Rev. 1, 10-01-03) 
Physicians in the same group practice who are in the same specialty must bill and be paid as though they were a 
single physician. If more than one evaluation and management (face-to-face) service is provided on the same 
day to the same patient by the same physician or more than one physician in the same specialty in the same 
group, only one evaluation and management service may be reported unless the evaluation and management 
services are for unrelated problems. Instead of billing separately, the physicians should select a level of service 
representative of the combined visits and submit the appropriate code for that level. Physicians in the same 
group practice but who are in different specialties may bill and be paid without regard to their membership in 
the same group. 
 
30.6.9.2- Hospital Discharge Day Management Service 
Hospital Discharge Day Management Services, CPT code 99238 or 99239 is a face-to-face evaluation and 
management (E/M) service between the attending physician and the patient. The E/M discharge day 
management visit shall be reported for the date of the actual visit by the physician or qualified nonphysician 
practitioner even if the patient is discharged from the facility on a different calendar date. Only one hospital 
discharge day management service is payable per patient per hospital stay. 
Only the attending physician of record reports the discharge day management service. Physicians or qualified 
nonphysician practitioners, other than the attending physician, who have been managing concurrent health care 
problems not primarily managed by the attending physician, and who are not acting on behalf of the attending 
physician, shall use Subsequent Hospital Care (CPT code range 99231 - 99233) for a final visit. 
Medicare pays for the paperwork of patient discharge day management through the pre- and post- service work 
of an E/M service.

The rules also say that in general, the DMEPOS benefit is meant only for items a beneficiary is using in his or

a beneficiary?s home for DMEPOS, and so Medicare does not make separate payment for DMEPOS when a 
beneficiary is in the institution. The institution is expected to provide all medically necessary DMEPOS during 
a beneficiary?s covered Part A stay. You can find this information in the Medicare Program Integrity Manual, 
Chapter 20, Section 210.
