Guest guest Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 So in my schedule this am I see someone who has never been in my office for a " preop c5-c6 surgery infusion " which I assume is a c5-c6 fusion. Patient is 43 and I have no records at all on this patient.While I suppose some doctors do provide pre-op evaluations for some patients, as a pcp I'm a bit confused--I have heard many different stories on the subject so I thought I would ask the group-just what is the insurance definition of a pre-op physical and what are you suppose to get paid? But what if you never saw the patient before and its a " new " patient and a 1st visit?I have been told to just bill as a level 3 consult (usually established patient) to the surgeon/specialist in question. But does that sound accurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
