Wiki Consult over phone

[dmetz]

A rehab counselor wants to set up a 45min appt with our physician over the phone to discuss a mutual patient. Can our physician bill the patient's medicaid for this?

thx,

No

No. Medicaid, and other government payers, require a face-to-face encounter with the patient.

Hope that helps.
