[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a billing thing. The preventive care visit diagnosis code doesn’t include any of these other things that were addressed. So if thyroid or anxiety meds were refilled, or patient was referred to Derm for a skin concern or whatever it was, those have separate diagnosis codes and need to be linked to a separate office visit. Many health care offices have signs in waiting room letting people know that this will happen during a PCV visit. Listen we (health care providers) hate it too. But electronic medical record systems kind of require you to play by insurance company and billing rules.[/quote] It never happened to me until last year. It's a money grab. [/quote] Doctors are getting squeezed too. It's a billing thing. They could have, probably should have, always been doing it. Now the ones who were lax are doing it too.[/quote]
