Anyone who spends the usual 2 weeks of training in any medical facility, has a working knowledge of what box to check for whatever treatment they specifically performed.
iPads screen pops up to clarify bloodwork, BP and so forth.
Then charting is briefly read by NP, PA, Physician, who continues with the visit, checks boxes, adds notes, add information discussed. Notes for follow up, change or continue current meds, specific tests, or speciality appointments.
Then sign off. Entire document is printed for patient to walk out the door.
All the procedures are coded, and usually billed by outside companies. I haven’t in house coded billing for over 15 years.
Unless you are living in a town of 1,000 with one doctor, and his wife is the nurse, and biller. Which is rare. Physicians & hospitals went away from onsite billing, sometimes used the dreaded out of US billing.
I have to ask don’t you go over the paperwork? Because if you don’t involve yourself with your medical visits, and the follow-up notes, check you insurance statements, maybe a family member could help. You would then understand what was billed and is it correct.
