Family Conference
I know this has probably been answered before, but I can't find it. We have a medicare patient whose family has requested a conference. Are we able to charge Medicare for this if the patient is not present? Or should we bill them as self-paying individuals.
Medicare
Medicare and some other payers require that E/M services include face-to-face services with the patient.
family meetings
We have discussed this, and there is an article about the topic.
You can read what is written by putting the word "family" in the search box, above "look it up." It gives a list of articles with the word family in the title. Then, lower down on the page, the list of forum topics. you can read them all! We've had quite spirited discussions about it in the short time we've been on line.
