However, I am not yet on Medicare, and will convert at the end of this year. . when I have to then have a "Medicare" physical. .
One last point about physician services codes and billing codes:
In large systems, such as EPIC in large hospital systems, there is automation for many of the mundane and commonly used service codes to billing codes.
However, there is constant reviews and auditing methods to insure proper compliance. In physician only medical offices, which may be using small system electronic medical records, the process may be more manual than big hospital systems. . BUT they have a choice of partnering with a major hospital system and using their system as a separate instance. . .
My eye doctors' office uses the Mass general or brighams womens EPIC system, and their hospital payment system. . and am having a billing issue with them right now.
but we learn alot here on TOTV, with all the previous work experiences who have actual knowledge of the issue du jour

TVH does not use EPIC. I'm pretty sure their EMR comes from a minor league player.
