Is my bill coded correctly?

I completely DISAGREE. I can't name how many times a patient or parent of a patient has called me and told me to tell the doctor to "code it so the insurance will pay".   That's not going to fly.. or at least it should NOT fly.
I suggest asking the doctor for the actual records and notes from YOUR visit.. tell them you wish to review their notes from that date. Take it from there. The answer is not to tell the doctor how they should bill it and code it. That is fraud.  It's YOUR record so you call and make apt and tell them you are coming in to review the medical report and notes from that visit. Get a copy and then file an appeal with your insurance company. It's your claim, so you should actually do the appeal and send in the medical notes from that visit.
