Hello, My question.
Our compliance department is saying that if a patient has Straight Medicare and their visit does not meet for a AWV we should send to billing as a Non-Billable service? In the past if it didn't meet for some reason and there were "billable" diagnosis' we would change the visit to a E/M code. I can't find anything
stating this from Medicare. I know if it is a Medicare Advantage plan you can use a 99397 but not for Medicare. Does anybody have any information on this?
Thank you,
Terry
