Two physicians to do diagnostic angiogram and intervention

Date: Feb 22, 2012

Question:

Hi Dr Z. I have a question about a physician coming in to do the intervention after the diagnostic exam. If a patient does not leave the table is it considered a different encounter or is it a continuation? Do you give new imaging and selection components for the new doctor? Thanks!
