Medical billing for general practice involves coding and billing procedures specific to the services provided by general practitioners or family medicine physicians. General practice typically includes a broad range of primary care services for patients of all ages.
Evaluation and Management (E/M) codes are central to general practice billing. These codes cover various levels of office visits and encounters, ranging from straightforward to complex. Proper documentation is essential to support the chosen E/M code.
General practitioners often provide preventive services such as vaccinations, screenings, and counseling. Familiarize your team with preventive service codes and ensure accurate coding for services aimed at preventing illness or detecting health issues early.
We are using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for common procedures in general practice, such as minor surgeries, wound care, and joint injections. Understand the requirements and codes related to Chronic Care Management services. These services involve the non-face-to-face care provided to patients with multiple chronic conditions.
We are familiarizing our team with care coordination codes, such as Transitional Care Management (TCM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM). These codes are used for services aimed at coordinating care during transitions in healthcare settings.
We have Assigned the appropriate Place of Service (POS) codes to indicate where the service was provided. For general practice, common POS codes include 11 (office), 22 (outpatient hospital), or 23 (emergency room).
Effective coding, accurate documentation, and compliance with regulations contribute to a successful medical billing process for general practitioners and their patients. Regular training and communication with providers will further enhance the effectiveness of your billing services.
