Per Dr. Philip Santa-Emma our Palliative/Hospice Medical Director:
This can be confusing. When physicians bill, they bill with a unique identifier, which may reflect a group practice. It does not matter if it is internal medicine, fam med or surgery. What is happening is that only one physician from the group can bill per day, unless the 77 modifier is used, as Lynn stated in the conference call.
