If a patient is a commercial health plan like anthem blue cross, why would physician choose to bill as consultation code (99241-99245) for a new office visit when you can bill as a E/M code (99201-99205) and get paid more?
Same goes for inpatient hospital consults (99251-99255) where the 99255 gets paid less than than a 99223?
