Wiki Is it possible to bill for a telephone call for postop followup on regional blocks?

[embsmed]

Does anyone know if a Anesthesiologist can bill for telephone follow-ups the next day? This would be for indwelling cathethers or a single-shot. This would be for acute post op pain after a surgery.
Thanks

I would think this would fall under Excellent patient service which would be included in the primary procedure. But your patient will tell others how your office follows up and will recommend them to come to your offices.
