Last post by me:
Mrs. Johnson injured in car accident on Jan 1, 2009 with low back pain.
Visits Dr. Jeckyl on January 1, 2009. Dr. Jeckyl recommends Mrs Johnson return on January 10. Visit for January 1 and 10, 2009 can be coded and billed to the insurance company if the service is covered under Mrs. Johnson' benefit plan.
Mrs.Johnson visits Dr. Jeckyl on January 11, 12, 13 and 14 for continued back pain. Again, the visits can be coded and billed to the insurance company if the visits are a benefit Mrs. Johnson is entitled to receive. If her policy only allows 4 office visits per year, then any visit beyond those 4 days will be denied as non-covered services. You can bill but the insurance wont pay. Those visits beyond those days allowed under her benefit plan may have to be paid by Mrs. Johnson.
