Q: Did something change with the observation services Composite APC in 2016? The director of patient financial services says we no longer receive payment for it.
For example, a patient with insurance is seen for a sick visit and gets labs and a steroid shot. They pay their copay for this. Can we skip billing the insurance for the B12 drug and admin, and charge the patient right away for the $ 20?
The reason for this is that some plans aren’t covering B12 and the providers want to follow the same guidelines for every patient instead of having to remember which insurance is going to cover it or not.
Thanks so much in advance!
