I didn't get any takers in the E/M forum, so maybe Billing is a better place for this question. I have heard conflicting things about billing MCD (Mo.) and I hope someone can tell me the actual facts. I have been told that MCD will not pay an E/M code and a procedure at the same office visit, therefore we are only to bill one or the other. But I have also been told to code and bill whatever is documented regardless of what they will pay. Doing it that way has resulted in MCD not paying EITHER one. Does MCD have a rule that they only allow you to bill for one or the other? If so, do we get to choose which one?
