I live in KY and my nephew lives in NY. (Because i don't know if rules vary state by state.) He went to the doctor, he is self pay and was initially charged a level 1 visit. When they discovered he was self pay, they changed their billing to a level 3. When questioned about this, their reply was they bill all self-pay a level 3. Obviously, being self pay, this is more out of his pocket. Now..I know first off the documentation has to be there to warrant a level three. That will be what I check out first for him. But my question is, can they just arbitrarily charge every self-pay a level 3?? I mean nothing about this makes sense to me, but he asked for my help... I don't understand how they can just charge a level 3 because he's self-pay. Any ideas? I appreciate all help!
