I have a question about residents and the administration of long-acting antipsychotic injections, please...
A patient will come in to receive their injection by the Resident—injection only visit. What codes should be used when the resident is doing this work? Additionally, in order for the attending to sign off and bill for this visit, do they need to give the injection themselves, or is it okay to have the resident do it? Does the attending need to stop by after the injection is done, or does being present in the building suffice? This is POS 22.
Thanks.
