One of our providers is concerned about billing patients in rehabilitation facilities. Our providers are not rehabiliation physicians; they are hospitalist, billing E/M services. They have been told that there are restrictions of how often a physician can see a patient in a rehabilitation facility, depending on how many days they are in short-term vs. long-term, as well as restrictions for what they can be seen for.

Has anyone heard of this? I can not find anything to verify these statements.

Thank you!
