My doc charges medicare $200 for an office call. Medicare allows only $130, Of which I pay 20% ($26), medicare pays 80% ($104).
He charges for an "extended visit" every time. Some of those extended visits last 5 minutes or less, not counting the time the nurse takes to weigh me and check my b.p. and pulse.
“, not counting the time the nurse takes to weigh me and check my b.p. and pulse. “
Which, of course, is required by the government.
I would CHALLENGE your doctor’s coding of the office call!!! Unless you have an ulterior motive....:>}
