Billing Procedures:
Attention Medicare Patients:
Medicare does not pay for comprehensive preventive visits. If that is the only reason you are scheduled, you will likely be responsible for the full amount. If there are secondary diagnoses and we have also billed a regular office visit, you will be responsible for well visit minus whatever insurance paid on the other visit.
Again, we must bill both the preventive visit and the symptomatic visit in doing so will generally LOWER your-out-of pocket expense. These are CMS (Federal Government) Rules and we have no ability to ignore them.
