After the procedure, I had what I refer to as "drive-by Drs.". These folks would pop into my room with little scope of what was going on and leave within a minute or two. I can guarantee that everyone submitted a bill. The last few I asked to leave and not submit a bill as neither me or my insurance company was going to pay.
That doesn't happen with Medicare ... no drive-bys unless they can submit the right code, and the right code cannot be the same code for the same thing over and over for the same person on the same day ... as far as my experience has been. ;)
