When a patient is seen for a physical or preventive/wellness visit, and also has acute complaints or chronic problems which require additional evaluation, some physicians encounter challenges when coding and billing for both services. There is confusion about whether it is permissible to bill for acute or chronic care, as well as the preventive service, in the same visit. Sometimes physicians are advised that they cannot bill for both services, other times they are told they can bill for both but only one will be paid, and sometimes there is patient pushback when they receive a billing statement with charges they were not anticipating.
