Hello everyone,
This patient insisted to come to the office to get her blood pressure check, the Dr. try to explained the patient that if she only come for a bp check this was going to be a unnecesary office visit charge (co-pay) because patient had an appoitment already set to see her. Because patient insisted Dr. took the patient pressure, however on the Dr. notes she did not documented enough to bill a 99211 to Medicare. Dr. is furious and is asking me if we can bill the patient. Should I bill the patient or not?
Thanks to all for your response on advance!
