One of my providers is asking about billing for a patient. He has not had insurance before, the provider has seen the patient but has pretty much written off the billing. He now presents with insurance coverage and Dr. is asking about billing new patient codes. **key point in providers mind is "this has not been billed to any insurance". My gut reaction is it is NOT a new patient,because patient has been seen within the last 3years, but of course - i need some black & white regulations to show/back up this train of thought. Has anyone else dealt with this scenario, any resources that deal with patients who are newly insured? Appreciate your help/insight/references!
