Physicals
If a patient comes in for an "office visit" for a problem and they have not seen the doctor in maybe a couple of years. What if the doctor turns the appt into a physical
and bills the physical code and possibly also a E/M code. Should the reason for the appt be changed in the schedule to reflect a physical not an E/M? Also shouldn't it state in the "assessement" that the patient is here for a physical as well as any other dx's? Thanks
