I’m not blaming you for being angry/annoyed. Medicine just sucks.

Sooo....who do you think it was that submitted that bill for a second appointment?

Any coder can submit whatever code/charge they feel the documentation

While that sounds reasonable, she's part of a healthcare system so any billing questions now have to be routed through

You can bill a problem based E/M visit ( the problem that requires referral)

cougfanz

So you admit more was done than just a well visit for one child.

No. That was a separate visit. I was giving you anecdotal information to indicate that she's an aggressive biller.

Sounds like you're frustrated at the wasted time and want to punish someone

Yeah, pretty much. This is not the first time I've had to spend hours on the phone to sort out some inept billing

how much of that $700 did the insurance actually allow?

The insurance paid $376.07, they want another $100 from me.

that does seem like a lot extra if it really was a quick, easy "minor issue".
