I browsed through the many posts on this topic, but I didn't see any responses to this particular problem.
I have a physician who bills 90% of his office visits based on time. I tried to make the argument that not all visits should be billed based on time for counseling the patient, but my physician argues that since he is a specialist, counseling the patients is appropriate.
I am about to have another discussion/debate of this issue with the physician. Can anyone help me with key points that need to be addressed? Also, can anyone direct me to any online articles or websites that would provide support for my argument that not all office visits should be billed based on time?
Finally, if you don't think billing 90% of a physician's office visits based on time is a problem, please let me know why.
thanks
