Wiki Urgent Care Billing

[ledaniel21]

Hi all,

Can someone provide me with some more information on how urgent care visits work? Can we charge a "new patient" code for every visit if they are different problems, or after a single new visit is it all follow up after that?

Thank you,
Daniel

Nope. Once they are seen in the Urgent care they are established patient if it the same specialty and subspecialty they have seen there in the last 3 years.
