If a patient comes in under the premise of wanting to interview your practice/doc for ob services. Can you bill a new patient visits for it if the patient chooses not to choose the practice?
The patient has has positive pregnancy test confirmed by another ob/gyn. Spent 40 minutes with the nurse, reviewing extensive medical background, Q & A about delivery philosophy, nutrition counseling, did serum lead screening, family history, long discussion about family history on blood clotting disorder in family history, BP and weight taken. No internal exam was done. This is the first time we have had a visit like this where the patient did not stay with the practice and it rolled into the global services. The nurse submitted for a 99203. I am thinking a 99202 at the most. The patient feels there should be no charge because she did not see a mid wife or physician. Thank you!
