Hello,
Is a provider allowed to bill the same dollar amount for his office visits? I believe it is reference as "flat rate" billing. Codes 99201-99215 all bill at same amount regardless if have insurance or self pay.
Any restrictions with state, federal laws, Medicare, etc.? Note: the appropriate CPT code will be utilized based on level of service/documentation.
Does it make a difference if the provider charges $75.00 or $200.00 as a flat rate for each E/M level?
Thank you in advance,
