[QUOTE=golfing eagles;2455783]Just because a there is a lack of understanding on somebody's part doesn't make it "mumbo jumbo". On the other hand, 20 posts lacking a factual knowledge basis could be, and is, considered ridiculous nonsense. I'm still at a loss here----if somebody has an electrical problem in their home and hire a master electrician, do they try to debate with the expert?? And what would call somebody who actually does--in fact there are a number of names that apply.

Factual information does seem to be missing with the claim that being charged for an office visit, long on Medicare billing doesn't exist and well as the CPT code for longer visits is printed, on record but someone can't grasp the truth. If coders at TVH are making all the billing decisions and the Drs have no imput as to what is being charged, that's a huge problem right there. And then there is the premise that Medicare shouldn't let the insureds know about CPT coding because it cause terrible confusion, like if you don't have MD behind your name you can't tell when your billing has been overcharged when a simple, no clothes removed 7-8 minute visit with no tests should be billed at the highest code for a long, complicated visit. Baloney.
