Who exactly is responsible for delivering the episode estimate? Does the surgeon provide their own and the hospital provides their own? Where does the liability fall? Thanks!

To add to Mary Ellen's question? Where does the liability fall for provding the estimate of the anesthesiologist? Keep in mind that the anesthesiologist does not interface with the patient until the time of service.

when you say Medicaid does that include HIP as well that is exempt? thanks

Thank you!
