Fees

(1/1)

vchere6535:
When a docotor starts their own medical practice, how do they know how much to bill? I can't picture a doctor calling other practices to find where they fit in with the fee schedule? And for Insurance Cos., etc - are the fee schedules publicly available?

Pay_My_Claims:
There is a calculation method they use.

Michele:
Medicare fee schedules are posted on the carriers web site.  Many providers use the Medicare allowed amount and multiply by 130 - 150% and then round it.  For example, if Medicare allows $99.05 for a 99214 then the provider may want to allow between $130-$150.

I can't tell you how gratefull i am for this info. But I DON'T want to tell you how long I've tried to research this info. Thanks so much!!

Zeecy:
Our electronic billing system came with the Medicare Fee Schedule already built in.  Then we did like the above poster said & multiplied it by 150% for other payers.  Good luck!
