I see people often either once or twice a year.
For my Medicare folks, I’ll bill one visit an office visit often a 99214 then the other their physical a 99397. Rather than bring them back for a 3rd visit for the stupid Wellness questions we do these at their physical and bill the g0439 Chiropractors Billing Services.
Subsequently, some patients get Teed off when they get a bill for physical thinking on the wellness day it should all be free.
But in general, this is how I was trained. But is it wrong to bill Medicare patients a 99397 knowing they don’t cover it as well as commercial insurance? Or do people do something different?
