Dear Bill, Yes many conversations with office staff. She said coding has to match Doctors dictation for the visit, which she read to me. She states she saw me for Hypothyroidism and it was a meet and greet, get established with a new physician visit... I am not on medicare, regular insurance and they said they would pay if she changed it to routine labs, which is what they were. I would like to have some leverage to use against the office by contacting an investigating agency to have it looked into. Thanks for any help as to who to call...
