I have a doc who is charging a sick visit at almost every well visit. Her contention is that if a patient has a condition that is brought up during the visit (possible a med check/refill), she has the right to charge a sick visit. Patients are upset because they have balances (copays, etc.). Are there guidelines to address when a sick visit is appropriate to bill with the well visit? I have read the July and September, 2016 articles again, but need real guidelines to present to this physician.
Thanks,
Lauren
