We have two Medicaid patients that came in for a pre-op evaluation before getting dental surgery. Apparently, they both missed their surgery dates, and Medicaid states that they need to have another evaluation before proceding with the surgery, since some time has gone by.
We billed the original evaluation as a wellness visit. Medicaid only pays for one Wellness visit/yr. Any ideas on how to submit this so we get paid for the other evaluation.
Thanks!
Oh, and the office did not have the patient's parents sign non covered waivers either
