I am working for a medical billing service. We code & bill for an ASC. We read every word on every OP report & code the procedures & diagnosis in this way.
In the past we have occasionaly had to call the physician office to ask for documentation to justify medical necessity. Recently, on two separate occasions, at two seperate offices, we've called to ask if they could provide us with documentation & we've basically been told that they bill from a superbill & they cannot give us a copy. We've learned that the "coders" aren't really coders, they are just entering data.
My manager & another woman I work with are questioning the use of superbills.
Is it legal to bill insurance from a superbill?
