Definition
An internist who diagnoses, treats and supports patients with multiple organ dysfunction. This specialist may have administrative responsibilities for intensive care units and may also facilitate and coordinate patient care among the primary physician, the critical care staff and other specialists.
Patientary is an informational reference tool built on public data (CMS NPPES and the official ICD-10-CM release). It is not medical, coding, legal or billing advice, and code assignment is the responsibility of a qualified professional. Always verify against the primary source before you bill or file.
