Good morning all!
I am trying to find official rules & regs regarding a potentially sticky problem:
If we have billed Medicare for a service, and it is a non-covered charge per Medicare's EOB, Is it legally and ethically alright to give the patient the private-pay (cash) price to give them "a break on cost"..?
I cannot find anything definitive either way, but it just doesn't seem like sound billing practice... Any assistance, preferably with article references, would be greatly appreciated...
