Yes you can bill the patient. Advise the pt why they would have to pay at time of service.
I thought so but I had to second guess myself! Thanks for your help!

I would check with your states Medicaid on this. I know that in NY if we see a patient on Medicaid for services that are not covered under their plan we are not allowed to bill the patient.
