Wiki Financial Agreement 99050, 99051, & 99058

Need some help. if our practices bill these codes to their patients, does it need to be included in the financial policy that the patient signs? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

They don't need to be "specifically stated" in the financial agreements ...

However they should be in your 'practice policy' - which we make the patients sign and acknowledge each one (ie...appointments, after hours, no shows, returned checks, etc. etc.) - that way there's no questions asked.

In addition, we normally have a posting in the waiting room that says ... "there will be an additional $xx fee for services after 5pm" or something along those lines ...
