Billing Questions that came up at a recent conference!
At a great conference with the OMA this weekend and learned a lot from networking with so many other private practices. Definitely learned how variable the interpretations of billing can be!!! A few things that were shared that so many of us were not clear on that I would love to hear opinions on:
When Medicare reimburses for a CPT Code you have to bill them for it? Example came in that so many practices were not aware that Medicare will reimburse for CPT Code 0358T for bioelectric impedance analysis so many practices have been charging cash for this. But if Medicare reimburses you have to bill for it correct? And then if you bill Medicare you have to bill everyone else? Then you have them sign an agreement that if there insurance does not cover they agree to pay X?
Second one that was popular was "if someone is in network and the service is not covered they have to pay for it because writing it off or reducing it is insurance fraud"? Thoughts? Clarifications? Thank you!!!!!
