Patient presents with pain and xrays are taken. The physician decides to give these films to the patient who promises to return them the next day. Medicare is billed and pays for the global fee for the xrays, but the patient now doesn't want to return the films nor does the patient intend to. Is this billed correctly to Medicare or should the claim be corrected to professional component only? If there is any reference in CMS you can attach, please do so. Can the patient be billed for the films?
Thanks so much in advance for all reponses!
